It keeps getting worse as Purdue plays awful and drops a 13 point decision at home to a Minn team that had lost 5 BT games in a row including one to bottom feeder Illinois tho the Golphers did not have 3 players that game and probably would have beaten the hapless Illini. But Minn was also without their leading scorer and the 5th leading scorer in the BT today.
The Golphers pressed Purdue early who could not handle it at all and went down 16-2, but Purdue fought in the third quarter and tied Minn at 43 and looked like they might have some momentum. The wheels fell off and the wagon broke as the Gophers scored 19 straight to romp as it looked like Purdue was standing still the whole time. Not many times have I seen Versyp sitting down and just staring at the floor at the end of games, but she looked, and her staff, beaten and depressed. Hard to see this team even going to the NIT now and if the AD stays with this staff then it is obvious that WBB at Purdue is not a priority at all. It will be interesting to see but it certain looks more and more like a change has to be made. Harris continued to rebound and block her way into history, but no one else did much and McGlaughlin and Oden seem dispirited and not able to do much. Too bad.
