How to Watch & Game Thread: #1 Purdue at Northwestern

Newman had a good look. I wish he would have followed the shot. He probably would have had the rebound.
Brandon seeing minutes due to Northwestern D approach. He won’t see as much pressure when he has the ball on his teammates and his D has been solid. He may knock a couple in 2nd half . Looks like they intend for Zach to shoot FTs rather than baskets. Like to see Zach get it early and often if available and get Purdue in the bonus early. Would be big if it happened. Little blood on Braden’s hand and Zach’s Ty arm. Somebody needs to cut their cocaine fingernails
 
It's the typical Big Ten grinder - going to be like this the rest of the regular season. Boilers just need to come out strong in the second half. Northwestern has played Purdue even on the glass - that and some of the loose balls have kept them definitely within striking distance.

Good minutes from Brandon Newman today, and Mason Gillis is the new x-factor for making the defense pay and also trying to take Loyer out.
Purdue started using Mason at the end of last year to become a shooter off a screen rather than just spot up. Braden, Fetcher,Jenkins, Brandon and Mason are the shooters…the others I hold my breath
