Purdue's defense showed up tonight. Nice work down low by AJ and Biggie. Bring on the B1G and beat Wisky!
Hard to get a lot of assists when the team shoots so poorly.Nice win. Our inside game tonight is what it should be each and every game and showed that even if we struggle mightily from outside, we can still do ok. We obviously benefited with some foul trouble from Vandy, but our inside game was confident tonight unlike vs. Butler.
Our big guys need to be aggressive with the basketball. Isaac has had so many shots go in and out over the past 2 games, but part of his problem is he's turning into a fadeaway guy. He needs to shoot moving towards the basket not away. He'll get fouled so much more (this is what he was doing last year). Granted, last year he was a bit too careless sometimes given his size, but the alternative should not be him shooting fade aways.
The 3 point shooting needs to come alive eventually though. I'm a little concerned about the PG position. I was a bit unsure about the Mathias/Cline combo, but those 2 ended up with 7 assists in 30 minutes - our PGs had 4 assists in 42 minutes.
