5 Purdue bold predictions for this season:
Cox leads team in scoring with 15+ppg
Jacobsen is 1st team All B1G Defense
Ertel wins B1G Freshmen of the Year
Ertel/Webber/Cox will each shoot >40% from 3.
Mayers usage gets drastically cut for more West Jr mins.
IU and Purdue need to schedule a “neutral site” game at the Allen County Memorial Coliseum each year.
They’d have 10,000+ in attendance and the crowd would be anything but neutral.
Antonine West Jr is going to be one of those players we talk about at the end of the season and say “remember how bad he was to start the season?”
This dude has the juice.
Going to need to be more consistent
@533Boilermaker I don’t disagree with you at all. My frustration with him on Friday against Valpo was the forced shots and not getting DJ post touches. He fixed it all tonight
@533Boilermaker We will never know what happened at practice or the locker room. But whatever was said… he learned from it.
He didn’t even look like the same player from Friday.
@notPurdueBball Learned from his mistakes on Friday. That’s just flat out awesome to see.
His decision making and shot selection was so much better.
Love to see that growth so early
@ZachVogt30 What a bounce back game from him. He was making some very poor decisions against Valpo but he seemed to learn from those mistakes already.
Good mental toughness
I want to give props tonight to Antione West Jr.
He was bad against Valpo and had really bad shot selections and turnovers that entire game.
Tonight he scored 17 pts and shot 7-11
That is a great come back game for the young kid.
Mental toughness.
@Boiler_fan25 He needed to be benched because of his decision making against Valpo. He has amazing talent but his IQ on Friday was very low.
He clearly learned from it.
