Great loss

[northside100]

Physical, athletic opponent that pressures the ball and takes away post ups. Exactly the type of opponent that has given Purdue trouble.

Braden was out of his mind the first half (in the worst way), too many turnovers across the board, couldn’t keep them out of the paint, living in help on defense. This Purdue team needs to get much better and they will. Good for them to lose this game.

Yes I agree, good to see them lose this game.

Beeen waiting a while to soil your trousers over here, eh?

You’d give your left nut to have a hoops program remotely as good as Purdue …

Fair enough, I don’t blame you.

Unfortunately for Hoosier fans, sleepy Mike’s team doesn’t do any of the things that Marquette does well.

The key to this game is to be able to learn from it. We all knew before the game that this would be a tough game to win and a tough team to beat on their home court.

The key now is what lessons did Purdue learn from this loss and will they be able to fix them?

Last year at this time, the question being asked was how can you defeat Purdue with Edey in the middle? Several teams came close. By sagging on Edey and daring Purdue to shoot more threes to win. And Purdue responded by taking and making more 3 point shots.

I guarantee teams were watching both Purdue and Marquette tonight and will copy what they saw as being effective. If Loyer has issues against big physical guards, we will see more of them. If berg is slow and burgess keeps running out of gas, teams will continue to run and play an up tempo game.

I guarantee, unless we learn, the things you complained about will reoccur! Last year, we won a lot of our preseason games, but some were close. As a team, we learned and improved. That will be the key to our success this year! Learn and improve!

I give props to Marquette. They are a good team and deserved to win. I’m hoping for a rematch in April to show them how much we learned.

They probably won't face a defense that good the rest of the year. It will help them when they see Auburn in a few weeks too.

after watching this game, I can see us in the Dance facing one of those quick small ball teams from some lower level conference giving us a major fit

I don’t typically believe in moral victories but this was a good lesson. Case in point is the the most poise came from the experienced players as I thought Furst played well and kinda went down the line with the freshmen really struggling. It was very frustrating they could have called 20 fouls on Gold and some of those steals on fast breaks they just steamrolled us. Don’t mind giving up 76 points all things considered but would like to see how our offense learns from this.

Right, that’s why you play these games. Not going to get those calls and n the road in the BIG either. Learn to play through it.

Totally agreed—Those who loathe Purdue would say we got “Mackey-ed” tonight….

I happen to think that we were the beneficiaries of a lot of ticky-tack calls against Marquette. Still didn't help.

Marquette's perimeter defense was stellar, similar to the title game against UConn. They just didn't give an inch out there, hedging everything and still coming up in the passing lanes for pick-6s. I couldn't believe Braden only had 2 turnovers at a very late juncture in the game cuz it felt like he had 8 or so. He forced a lot, including a plethora of off-balance jumpers. He may have ended up with decent numbers but I thought it was a bad game. Probably a bad game from everyone except Fletch and maybe Furst. But Furst has got to be stronger and get off the floor quicker going up around the basket.

Was at the game. Marquette defends extremely well amd you could tell that they perfectly had scouted and game planned for what we wanted to do. There were a lot of fouls not called on them but they would have won regardless most likely.

Our 5 spot is a huge weakness. Not sure why we wouldnt go with TKR at the 5 all game long because they had no big to bang down low on us. It would have given us our best chance. We rebounded much better but offense was real bad and defense was bad.

Not too worried going forward but we need the freshman and sophomores playing loose and not scared and you could tell all of them felt the pressure on the road.
