Officials were way better in 2nd half. The lineup change continues to pay dividends. The defense is so much better as is the rebounding.

2-0 on our first ever big ten west coast road trip with 3 homes games in a row coming up. Keep it going!

The D travels.

Second half the officials were more balanced. Oregon went into a scoring abyss largely due to solid defense by the Boilers. I am so happy to have a reinvigorated Furst.

Burgess was questionable and that air ball was mind bending. I would have though Berg would have been helpful against Biddle but in Painter we trust. I still think Colvin and Heide need to figure out what the french toast they did with their game. Cox and Harris are playing ferocious defense, I love that even if they barely score.

I hope we win the next 5 in a row and defend home court but we as always will have a target on our backs. Momentum is singing Hail Purdue right now, let's hope they don't forget the lyrics.

This marked improved D has gotten better and better and is frustrating opponents not used to it. The wins are great, but seeing that defensive improvement from a really good offensive team really gives them the shot at winning any game.
Remarkable really.

Going out west and sweeping puts Purdue in a great position! Very impressive win and total team effort!

Road games are tough especially all the way out on the west coast living out of a suitcase all week.

And worrying about missing the first week of class

For sure. Terrible shooting both games out west, but good D and didn't allow anybody to get hot and go off on us and that was enough.

Justice Brown, DEI hire.

If she wasn't a DEI hire, then who was? Biden said he would nominate a black woman to the SC (link). Biden ended up with a list of NINE! (9!) black women as finalists (second link). You can see all nine black female faces for yourself. Justice Brown was a total, classic, unabashed DEI hire.

Who would have thought we should 16.7% from 3 and still win?

Great win. Winning ugly is always acceptable

Great D, gutty win. Experience in tough games prevailed. Purdue should move to the 3 seed line, and maybe ranked 10-12.
