Wright also couldn't get over the fact that the shooters did not fake and slide overI guarantee you that there are numerous coaches out there who either (a) could have anticipated what was going to happen (at least as a possibility) and figured out ways to create some decent looks from 3 or (b) made that adjustment in game if they somehow overlooked it as a possibility.
There are absolutely ways to get guys looks. Where were the screens? Edey could have done more to find guys, rather than repeatedly go for 2. (They kept going for 2 when it was clear they couldn't afford to keep doing it.)
I can tell you one coach who absolutely would have gotten them more looks from 3: Jay Wright. And I know that for a fact because he talked about it halftime and mentioned pindown screens as one way Purdue could gin up some more 3s. Didn't happen. No adjustments from Painter.
It can be true that (a) UConn was an awesome defensive team and also true that (b) Painter's game plan sucked. Because both are. Look, UConn was great defensively but I am certain that if the teams had played again the next day, Purdue wouldn't have shot 7 3s. Big L on Painter's part.
Is he really still just a 4 star? Because that list doesn't scream 4 star to me. I do think schools are going to start really looking for impact kids who won't jump immediately to the NBA.I just like itwhen we (finally) keep getting recognized as a blue blood.

He's between 24 and 31 in all the ranks right now. Will probably inch up a bit after his Adidas performance. Could see him ending up around where Kon Kneuppel did, 18th.Is he really still just a 4 star? Because that list doesn't scream 4 star to me. I do think schools are going to start really looking for impact kids who won't jump immediately to the NBA.
This is a good article about his quick rise in the rankings and being a top 25 player. His 47% 3pt. shooting alone will get looks from the blue bloods and everyone one else.Is he really still just a 4 star? Because that list doesn't scream 4 star to me.

That's pretty specific....like next level hydrogen bomb vs coughing baby.
