Not to take a thing away from him tonight, but with Blackmon guarding you, most of the Senior Citizens on here could score 25! That said, Blackmon's on the bench because of Mathias' offense.
Well, both of you are correct IMO. DAkota was due and trying to make Blackmon play D for fatigue doesn't hurt...as well as being open more without fatigue present...
Yeah, Dakota carreid Purdue's scoring early...Dakota got off to a good start and suspect some of that was who was guarding him and others...just really fine scoring...
CMP also calls DM his best passer too. DM just helps Purdue win. Really glad he's a Boiler.
Exactly he usually takes the other teams best scorer other than a center.Nobody on the team works harder on both ends of the floor than Dakota nobody!!!!!
He is the best passer somewhat because of his court awareness and somewhat due to his working at it. He does the extra dribble to set you up...he does the pass fake, the shot fake....he works the D and then works himself to get a good angle. STill, it slipped out of his hands once last night and other members made some poor post passes. Guys when a guy is posting and pushing or holding with some pressure in one direction, take the ball to him so he does NOT have to lose the position he established to get the pass. I was glad to see a couple of bounce passes into the post last night
Ya know...never thought about that...probably a pretty good comparison...maybe an edge on D to Dakota?
I think he averaged about 20 his senior year. Good player (that I hated at the time). If Dakota even comes close to his offensive numbers next year we will be in good shape!
