Yeah, already. It helps that I live 2 minutes from I-88. It's almost a straight shot for me, less than 3 hours. Got home for the last minute of the MSU-UCLA game.
Interesting game. You had to figure TKR was going to eat all night. I was trying to bet on him for 15+ but it seems you can't bet college player props in Iowa. News to me. Might have been because it was specifically against Iowa, as we had that rule in Illinois for a couple of years. Don't know.
I thought the pound-it-into-TKR-every-play went a little too far though. The passing lanes just weren't there in the first half. Bad spacing. Much better in the 2nd. How about TKR's assists! Passed out of the double-team so well. One to Furst, one to Braden, one to Cox, not sure about the 4th one.
What can you say about Braden Smith that hasn't been said already. Put this team on his back once again, especially with the 2 fouls on TKR. I did think his 2nd foul was weak, and his 3rd was even more weak although the game was basically decided. Dix and Sandfort were so good. I found it hard to believe that Dix only made 3 3s. Felt like 6 but maybe they were all in the 2nd half.
The crowd sucked for the most part. It was so empty that you could hear each and every complaint from the fans about the refs during some stretches. They did pick it up on defensive possessions when they got it back to 2 possessions with 5 minutes to go. I did have a couple people chat with me nicely about how they like Purdue's program.
Oh, and they do still have a smoking hot blonde doing timeout announcements and games for the students on the floor. Last year she was wearing leather pants though. Maybe she was trying to impress Zach.
