West Lafayette – Purdue Men’s Basketball The Trey Kaufman-Renn Center put the blame and the credit where it belonged after the defeat of 75-73 on Tuesday in Michigan.
He credited the Wolverines to have “put people on the field they need to win matches”. He knows the Boilermaker Had a chance to prevent this battle for the head of the Big Ten to be summed up in a possession.
He blamed two errors which he personally made – and not the officer – for a loss that dropped purpuded in second place.
Insider: Purdue basketball has left the door open, and Michigan has crossed and took the lead of Big Ten
However, that night continued a current theme, now at least his third week. The performances of the triple Big Ten player of the week are more and more defined by faults – how much he commits, and when, and if he receives the same treatment at the other end.
He got out of the locker room after February 4 Win at iowa Waiting for questions about another access to big problems.
“I thought of how I was going to answer this question,” said Kaufman-Renn.
He spoke of needing better body language. He spoke of controlling what he can control. He spoke of watching a film and seeing what he considered “bad calls” against him while at the other end, he “is just hacked”.

“But that’s something I have to work on,” Kaufman-Renn said. “It is my responsibility to be able to control my emotions and I suppose that gives people Layups and not take a second fault.”
If you thought it would be the first season for some time when the way the big men are officiated, it was not a factor, it seems that you are wrong.
Purdue coach Matt Painter spoke of iniquity during the career of players such as Isaac Haas and Zach Edey. Some adversaries – perhaps understandable, because they take advantage of the greatest person they will ever see – have brutally allowed these great men of the boiler.
Kaufman -Renn, however, measures 6 feet 9, 230 pounds – much larger than most of us in conventional understanding of human proportions. To be fair, he does not ask for protection against the smallest fists of submerged defenders. He requests equity.

The conversation was struck Tuesday evening in Michigan. Kaufman-Renn spent a large part of the second half in a defense repair scheme against offenses to manage major problems. He finally made a mistake with 1 minute and 15 seconds to play in two points.
However, he also tried 19 shots on the ground and never went to the line of free throws. According to Sports Reference, there were 11 games this season only in which a player tried 24 goals on the field or more without going to the line. Michigan also offers a pair of 7 feet – Danny Wolf and Vladislav Goldin – which can have a low -amount lever effect than other defenders cannot.
However, Kaufman-Renn, who ranks among the 80 best players in the country with 6.0 faults drawn by 40 minutes, left the game confused.
“I am probably the most physical guy in Big Ten, and not having a single frank launch called – not even to get to the line – I’m not sure to understand it,” said Kaufman -Renn.
“… when I always drive and there is never a call?” I have to be better to shoot mistakes and get to the line. »»
Matt Painter also asked the same question aloud. He also admitted that such inconsistencies fall under unfavorable conditions to overcome on the road in Big Ten.
More importantly, it comes back to the list of things that Purdue cannot really control. What he can control, at least to a greater extent is the number of faults that his own players commit.
The painter refused to analyze the accuracy of the Kaufman-Renn faults in Michigan because they came in a variety of situations. He was more critical of the form of his great man in some of these other scenarios. He agreed with the calls of the officials of two moving screens in the second half against Indiana. He said he reaches and turning his body when defining training, instead of remaining vertical, cost him the Iowa.
“He needs to stop gonciating because we do not have a small amount goalscorer like that,” Painter said after the Iowa victory. “This does not mean that we cannot be a good team without him. But I don’t think we are the same prolific offense without him.

The eye test and numbers go back to this, depending on the recent small size of the sample.
Kaufman-Renn sat with 4:37 to do first half against Indiana after picking up a second fault. Purdue did not score for the next three minutes. His absence put more the defense of the Ballo d’Oumar d’Iu on Caleb Furst, which picked up two faults in just over two minutes.
Kaufman -Renn committed its second mobile screen – and the fourth fault in total – with 9:32 to do against the Hoosiers. Purdue went 1 for 3 on the field with two reversals in five possessions before reputting at 6:04 am. From there, he went 5 for 9 with five trips on the free throw line, including his free throws in the last seconds.
Kaufman-Renn’s second fault at Iowa came with 8:29 to play in the first half and the score was 20-20. Purdue has missed his next four goals on the ground, returned it twice and went 4 for 4 on free throws until Braden Smith warms late to ensure equality of 36-36 at halftime .

Kaufman-Renn played the second half, with the exception of an 81-second snifflard. The boilermakers have an average of 1,636 points per possession in the last 20 minutes.
In Michigan, the night went without incident until a second fault with 2:37 to do in the first half. Kaufman-Renn sat with the Wolverines already working on what has become an end of 9-0. The painter underpinned the defense offensive in the second half, but the great man played with four faults for almost three minutes.
After n ° 5 with 1:15 to play, Michigan picked up posts via a Ruben Jones decline and two wolf free throws. Smith has created some 3 points for him in the last 21 seconds, but a third buzzer uprising has missed.
Painter properly pointed out that Kaufman -Renn played 30 minutes in Michigan – just at his season average. He also noted that the boilers had obtained the shots they wanted without their second top scorer for this closing section of the first half. These blows have not fallen.
Kaufman-Renn’s teammates, however, once again expressed their dissatisfaction with their response to stretching in which he must sit.
“Obviously, we put a lot of pressure on TK and Braden to start,” said Furst. “So when TK comes out, I think that sometimes it becomes difficult, just because we put even more pressure on Braden.
“We are trying to get him out of the ball. It’s difficult because he likes to have the ball in his hands. I think it comes down to moving the ball, making it change the sides of the ground and being able to play Inside-out. “
Everything amounts to focusing on what can be checked. Kaufman-Renn will work to avoid these benches on fault. The other eight guys in rotation will work to better answer if – and most likely when – it will happen again.
