Most prognosticators have Purdue in the top-30, but Marquette's first big-time opponent has a history of struggling in non-conference play when they are inexperienced. Will Marquette be poised to secure a rare November road win? Cracked Sidewalks breaks down the Boilermakers:

Looking for a wider margin win than our secret scrimmage win.

How many MU bigs will Edey foul out?

How many MU bigs will Edey foul out?
Will be interesting to see his minutes load this year without trev

Thanks Brew. Great read. Should be interesting. Thinking about going to this one. Never been to Mackey.

How many bigs does MU have to foul out?

Shaka had better have the zone ready. Or else the pressure had better be effective.
-
I'm intrigued.
Edey will most certainly get a 15+ point double double, but how is he going to guard Oso? He has no shot at sticking with him on the perimeter.
Should be fun.

Sag? Make Oso show him the jumper.

Yeah Oso will be by himself in the perimeter like Wilson
-
Yeah, I mean I don't think Edey will have any problem guarding Oso. Dude's 7'3". If they put Oso at the top of the key, just stand 2 feet inside the 3 point line and you can contest any drive or any dish to a cutter.

This is where we find out if Oso and any other big man Shaka seems to want can take advantage of big stiff traditional centers. If Oso has developed an outside shot, Edey won’t have a chance. If he is still one dimensional and can only drive, you are going to be right.
This is the interesting part of our team. We don’t know how any of these guys have truly developed in the off-season until we see it. Could be a fun year or a total disaster.

I completely agree with this. The distance between this team's ceiling and this team's floor is as wide as any I can remember.

He's 7'3", but guarding pick and roll isn't his best attribute. I imagine they will be driving into the paint, forcing Edey to choose between challenging the driver (which opens up the pass to Oso) and sticking with his man (leaving the driver with a more open shot). If they try to go at Edey and score over him, it won't end well no matter who the attacking player is, but they can still use drives to take advantage of his PnR defensive weaknesses.
-
If Edey is going to just camp in the lane on defense there are plenty of ways to take advantage of that even if Oso cant shoot.

This.
Oso picks Kam's man, Edey sagging 10 feet off and now Kam has all the room in the world to launch 3's.
-
Sag? Make Oso show him the jumper.
That's extremely easy to counter.
If Edey sags, you have Oso follow his own pass at the top of the key and screen for a shooter. If Edey sags then theres no help on the screen for the shooter.
Then at that point it just comes down to whether or not you're knocking down shots, but uncontested 3s in 2022 is a good way to find yourself down quickly.
-
The Bucks won an NBA title having their giant center drop into the paint on the pick and roll, living with guys shooting screens with trailing guards contesting the shooter. I think Purdue would live with Stevie Mitchell, Sean Jones, and Tyler Kolek running off Oso and hoisting 30 three pointers.
I just don't buy that Matt Painter is losing sleep wondering how he can defend Oso Ighodaro on the perimeter.

Purdue was really bad defending ball screens last year. I do think a lot of that has to do with Edey’s lack of mobility around the perimeter.

I'm not sure we're going to get much of a scouting report today during Purdue's match-up with the Peay. The glass/2nd shots is the big concern Tuesday. Can we force Edey into a bunch of turns with hard doubles? He's gonna be difficult to keep off the block.
-
Edey is a match up problem for most teams. Pressure, speed them up, don't commit dumb fouls when he does get the ball under the basket, shoot lights out from 3.
Simple.
;D

We have the speed advantage for sure. Gotta get the 3-Ball cooking from multiple players and spots. We shouldn't try to dunk over Edey but he can be attacked if we're smart.

With a little home cooking Oso will be in the boiler before Edsey is in the talons of a Golden Eagle.

Hope they get massive diarrhea before the game

Edey has added noticeable weight.
Not sure if they had any guys out or not, but Purdue struggled the 1st 10 minutes against UW-Milwaukee's pressure. If they had their full roster available and what I saw is who they are, then I think it is safe to say Marquette has the speed and athleticism advantage by a wide margin.
Edey will be a problem on the glass but he will have a hard time staying on the court if Marquette makes it a track meet and he won't be able to stay in front of Oso.
Should be a fun early test.
UPDATE: Found some game footage

Mackey is really, really, really tough place to play. This will be the prove it game for the point center Oso. Keep Edey away from the basket and get him to places he's uncomfortable.

Oso needs to work on his Brad Davison falling over skills.

I disagree. If those guys take it into his body it's gonna get blocked or a miss. Have to try to get him into switches, if he's going to be in foul trouble it's gonna be when he has to chase and contests shots from behind.
My worry isn't so much about Edey as Marquette's defense covering the corners, particularly on the weakside. That has been open a lot these two games, and it's not so much the open threes as the ability to attack a closeout and put the defense in motion.
I'll be thrilled if they win but expect a 8-12 point loss.
-

not the reach around nut punch though
-
I actually like Marquette's roster and on paper this looks very winnable.
Problem is Painter is a great coach, Road games are tough, and Marquette just doesn't beat Purdue.
Edey only averaged 19 Minutes Per Game last year and likely won't be much over that this year because he just cant move up and down. Helps that he plays in the BIG Ten but Marquette should be able to make some things work.
1) Can Marquette defend as a team?
2) Can Marquette get the loose balls?
3) Can Marquette move the ball and hit open shots?
If those 3 boxes are checked for a good part of the 40 minutes then there will be an opportunity for the game to be won.
-
Marquette will try to play fast and Purdue will try to play slow.
Whoever does this more effectively will win.

Willie will probably post after this game

Edey is a known problem inside and on the glass - we'll need to hit our outside shots and/or score quickly in transition to avoid his influence.
I also think we'll have a tough time dealing with their length at guard. It's possible that they'll put Ethan Morton on Kolek to disrupt anything that we try to get going in the half court.

I don’t think Edey will have trouble staying on the floor.

Weight doesn't mean automatic success on the court but that's quite a disparity. Bill Russell would run him to death?
-
I think the first goal on defense is to try to deny Edey the ball. Purdue has young, inexperienced guards that aren't accustomed to pressure. Turn up the pressure, especially when Oso isn't in. When he does get the ball, double him immediately and try to force him to give it up. He's not as good a passer as Trevion Williams was. Don't get me wrong, Edey will likely get his, but he could have a career high and we could still win if he has to work for it.
On offense, we need to get him in pick and roll. He doesn't have the speed or mobility and has already been shown to be a liability against PnR. Don't go at him, but force him to be a secondary defender and shot blocker. That's where you can get him in foul trouble.
Last, control tempo on both ends. On offense, attack fast and get him scrambling, then beat him back door. On defense, harry them in the back court to take 8-12 seconds off the shot clock, then defend like mad to put them into short shot clock situations, and be prepared to defend for 40-50 seconds because they will get some offensive rebounds.
I think we win this game.

I think we certainly can win this game, but Marquette has beaten Purdue just once and never won at Purdue.
Definitely winnable, probably not likely.

First road game of the year? At Mackey? 15 point loss seems about right.
-
Do you think our press will be effective Brew?
I do. If we played this game in December, probably not as much. If we played it in March, almost certainly less so. But one week into the season when Purdue's point guard options are a converted 6'7" wing that turns it over a ton and two freshmen who've never faced this level of pressure, I like our odds.
In addition, Painter's teams thrive on consistency. They almost always figure it out by conference play, but non-con is a different story. When they are top-100 in minutes continuity, they are awesome in non-con, going 69-7 (.908 WP) . When they are outside the top-100, they are mediocre, going 75-34 (.688 WP). As many of those are buy games (including some they've lost) they are far less intimidating when their minutes continuity is sub-100. At the moment, they are ranked #170 nationally and will certainly be ranked outside the top-100 this year because they simply don't bring back much beyond Edey.
Painter's system is tough to pick up. It takes new players a couple months to get it. They usually get it by the end of the year, which is why they are always competitive in the Big 10, but right now is the exact time to catch them. It's when a young Painter team is most vulnerable.

Fair points. Clearly we need to shoot the triple at a decent clip. My concerns are the glass and them owning the paint. Maybe they'll kick the ball away like Illinois did last year? Certainly it's a tough game for us to win but I would go with difficult/not impossible.

Purdue up 31-16 at half.

Edey finishes with 30 points on 12 of 13 shooting and 11 rebounds. Also had 4 fouls, 3 turnovers and 1 block in 31 minutes.
Purdue wins 63-44.
-
Worth noting it was 11 rebounds, not 1. He's averaging 21/14 in the first two games. Gonna be a load, but I still like our chances. They boot the ball around a lot. Bouncing off feet, knees, or just mishandled dribbles. They often recovered the ball and Austin Peay didn't make them pay, but I think there's a decent chance our pressure will unsettle their guards.
-
I think the key to the Purdue game is realizing that there are times we are going to get beat by Eddy. When he has gotten position in the post he is going to score. We have to accept this and not foul him when he has gotten the ball in this position.
Pressure, keep our turnovers down and stay out of foul trouble should lead to an MU victory.

Great suggestions, you're spot-on. There's no way to stop Edey when he gets deep position. Do not foul, do not let the others go off, take care of the rock, and run, run, run. I think we can use our speed to exhaust them in the 2nd half.

Gold, during his CMU post game interview, discussing Edey... 'he seems slow'....
Well, crap.
-
Watched Purdue-UWM and at first was pissed that UWM was giving them so much exposure to a full court press, but the Panthers were almost exclusively full court man, so the Purdue guards could break it 1-on-1.
Hopefully they continue to try that against MU's zone pressure.

Great! Reminds me of JJ during the Wojo years ago with his post-game comment after we beat a then respectable Georgetown team in Milwaukee. "Georgetown is lazy". Our trip to DC later that season did not end well.
-
Edey's recruiting rank was something like 385th to 440th. Only major schools on him were Purdue and Baylor, and it sounds like his parents asked his coach at IMG to reach out to Painter to start their recruiting. Now he is a Naismith Award candidate. Crazy.
Also think Edey and Omax may have been teammates on Canada's 2021 FIBA under 19 team. Maybe Omax will have some insight on how to play him. Edey has looked like a giant toying with mere humans so far this year.
-
As Shaka said, Edey is a match up issue for everybody who plays Purdue this season.

It may be game 3 but we're gonna find out a lot about this tean tonight. Do NOT get cheap fouls on Edey or be worried about him getting big numbers. ERASE the other Purdue players and get this into a track meet. Smother these guys all over the floor, turn them over, and be relentless for 40 mins. Take some charges and fight for every single rebound. Tonight is s great opportunity for our ball club. I'd like to see Kam go off and a barrage of threes

Zach Edey already has new career highs in points, rebounds, & blocks in the first week of the season. We look at Purdue's first couple games, particularly their freshman starting back court, to see what we can expect tonight.
On the record, I expect a win.

I mean...since our last NCAAT win they've gone to 3 sweet 16s and an Elite 8. Probably shouldn't be criticizing them on tournament success. Glass houses and all
-
Something that I'm not sure has been mentioned is Edey's conditioning. He played 31 minutes against Austin Peay on Friday. That was his career high in minutes. He had to play that because the rest of his team was helpless on offense, he scored 30 of their 63 points. 5 other players tied for second in scoring with 5 apiece. In their opening game, he played 25 minutes which was tied for the 4th most minutes he's ever played in game. Purdue plays at a plodding pace. If we can control the tempo and make Edey run up and down the floor, I don't think he'll be out there very long. There a much different team without him on the floor. I'm assuming they will counter by playing zone and trying to turn the game into a slog. Gotta take advantage of their young and out of position guards to force transition.

I loathe them because of a personal experience I had with their fan base in 2011. I had tickets to the United Center games in the 2nd round of the NCAA tournament. Simultaneously Marquette was playing Syracuse so I essentially missed the entire first half of Purdue/VCU (Shaka's F4 team). When we came back to our seats (all in Marquette gear) totally jacked when DJO iced the game and we disposed of Syracuse, a couple of Purdue fans took our seats. We politely asked them to leave and they got all pissy about it. Anyway, they did eventually leave but the surrounding Purdue fans were also pretty perturbed with our extreme enthusiasm over Marquette and my particular cheering for VCU and Joey Rodriguez. Despite that it was truly a glorious day with MU winning, Purdue getting shellacked, and Notre Dame getting throttled to close my afternoon. :)

So you hate them because some of their fans were upset that people that clearly had no rooting interest (wearing Marquette gear) were gleeful, while their team was losing, about the outcome of a game that wasn't even in the same city and then those gleeful fans were rooting against their team while their team was losing? Again, despite the team they had fan gear on for was not even playing in the same city?
Sounds like the problem was probably more you than them.

Edey has a bad habit of over closing out when his assignment pulls up for a jumpshot. Could create some nice mismatches with Oso and Gold drawing Edey away from the basket. I'm sure Painter is drilling it into Edey's head to not leave his feet.
Edey also has the tendency to use his elbow to try and clear space when making a move to the basket from the post up position. That's fine against most bigs but Peay managed to draw three offensive fouls on him because he clocked the shorter defenders above the shoulders with his elbow.

Here's hoping Pat "Double T" Driscoll is the whistle tonight.

Put Kam, Stevie or Sean on Edey?

Line down to 7.5 on my site.
Sharps are liking getting the points.
-
Well, we managed to beat Radford and you didn't seem to see that coming either.
Not even remotely true.
I said I expected a close win and that's pretty much what we got. I never said I expected a loss.
-
"Radford has a Nova transfer, a Pitt transfer, and a Murray State transfer with some decent returning scorers.
I think this is going to be a down to the wire opener.
I'll say Marquette 73 - Radford 69."
Looks to me I nearly had the score nailed too. Not sure what Brew is talking about.
-
Don’t lose by 30
I refuse to be COLE, 20 pt loss

“Down to the wire”, in picture-form, lol:

It was a 3 possession game with 3 minutes to go and a 2 possession game with 45 seconds left. I also got Radfords point total exactly correct.
I don't think my prediction was all that off. More accurate than those assured us all it would be a blowout cover.

Eh...it was a 21 point game with like 5 minutes and change left. They put in Keeyan in and Radford went on a 9-0 run before taking Keeyan out. It seems more like a blowout where the coach put the back of the rotation players in a little too early than a "down to the wire opener".

Your prediction wasn't a good one. Marquette just let off the gas too early, which young teams do. The outcome wasn't in doubt.
-
The Pitt and Nova transfers had some monster games too.

It was a close game for the 1st 28 minutes and the last 3.

As others have noted, we were pounding them and they made a run when we put backups in early. That game was never in doubt. Not remotely.

Purdue 74
Marquette 71
I think Marquette will surprise people tonight but still come up just short. What happened to the predictions contest!?
-

That game was the definition of a snoozer. Not even a shadow of a doubt even when the lead shrunk.
-
They had a run and then lost to Virginia a few years ago. Who gives a S? They have 0.0000000 NCAA titles.
yeah and weve done nothing for a decade. Trying to act like were supuror cuz we have one title from 45 years ago is cringe.
-
Purdont's board thinks they win this one and points to the 9 point opening spread and the 9th place preseason prediction for MU in the Big East as reasons they won't really know how good this team is after tonight. They also seem to think Shaka is not a good college coach.

They're right on the last point.

Time to Jack up Purdue’s defensive APL

Yeah, but the eye test.
-
Great opportunity for MU to get experience in a very loud arena. Have been to a few games at Mackey over the years and it was easily one of the loudest venues around.
-
They're right on the last point.
Is this a joke?
-
Well the Half Time Guys on FS1 don't think Marquette has much of a chance.

Shaka is the wrong shade of color for nobrains

Nice no teal teal

It took a miracle ending from Virginia (who won it all) to deny Purdue a trip to the FF.

I think we win tonight. Wagered $125 on MU on the Moneyline for +320. #BOLD

I'll pass. Can you block someone on this site?

Yes

Probably ballgame.
Marquette doesn't have the shooters to keep up with Purdue's.
