Quite an enjoyable opener for the Boilers.  This team is going to be fun to
watch this year -- win or lose.  They have some talent.  Don't let the fact
that this is only an exhibition game against an AAU team.  The Hustlers won thethe 1991 AAU championship last year and are a very talented bunch of players.
This is the first time in 3 years that Purdue has won their opening game.
The Hustlers jumped out to an early 6-2 lead, but Robinson reeled off 8
unanswered points to give the Boilers the lead at 10-6.  During the first half,the Hustlers played the Boilers close trailing only by 1 at the break.  They
took the lead in the opening seconds of the second half at 39-38, but the
Boilers responded with a 13-2 run and never looked back.  Each time the
Hustlers would make a run, Purdue would respond with a run of their own.
Spiker scored the final 2 points of the game for the Boilers to a thundering
cheer from the crowd.
 
Robinson is for real.  He looked mighty impressive in his first true action
as a Boiler.  33 points and 17 boards along with 5 assists.  The scary thing isthat he has room for improvement.  The real surprise of the game was that
McNary looked impressive.  Was perfect from the floor and line and was the
second leading scorer for a very balanced Boiler team.  Purdue had four playersthreating to break into double figures.  Herb Dove looked real impressive
especially on Defense.  Between him and Martin, Keady has a couple of go to
defensive stoppers.  Martin looked a little rusty at first, but settle down andnailed a couple of nice jumpers.  Porter Roberts looked good at the point --
5 assists, 0 turnovers, along with 5 points.  The real good news is that it
seems that he understands what Keady wants out of a point guard.  In addition
he is also very tough on D.  Williams is just the guy to play center in the
big ten.  I think last years lay-off may have hurt him the most, but he is a
bruiser and banger.
 
Waddell struggled a bit.  Painter and Darner were pretty much none factors oncethe game got going.  Foster is out of his league, even against the Hustlers.
 
This Purdue team will be fun to watch this year.  They may make a bunch of
mistakes, but they can overcome them because of their athletic ability.  This
has to be the most athletic team that Gene has ever coached.  He seemed pretty
calm when mistakes were made last night and he also had the Boilers running
more than I can remember.
 
Is it just me or does Justin Jennings look a lot like the other JJ ????
 
next up for the Boilers is the Soviet National team on Sunday.
 
later,
