Good: fought all the way back to make it a 1 pt game with about 2 mins left. Had the iu fan base crapping their pants thinking iu might lose after their best game all season.
Bad: turnovers and missed FT. You just can’t do that on the road. Probably 10+ points at least between this two things.
Bad: Smith for some reason not willing to pull the trigger from 3 when they kept going under the high ball screen. I thought he would thrive in that atmosphere but he just didn’t play with confidence and made some really crucial turnovers in the last few minute.
Bad : we get the lead down to one, force a miss but give up a backside offensive rebound and foul. They hit the 2 FTs and that’s when I felt we were done. I think Smith turned it over on the next possession.
Ugly: got out toughed and pushed around. Davis wanted to act like a thug and we didn’t respond which just gave him more confidence. Iu was the aggressor and was going to dare the refs to blow the whistle. Purdue lost its poise and played tentative. By the time they figured it out, the hole was too deep.
My hope is these guys have a really bad taste in their mouths and have the iu game at Mackey circled on the calendar.
