Not sure why we can't play 2 half's against this team.

Thought we played really well the first half despite the TO's. Didn't match their intensity in the second half.
Must have left 10 points at the line.

I'd rather we suck in the first half from now on.

Poor planning at half both times

This team just doesn't have the fire power to come back when down big. Gotta give Iowa credit. They are strong for 40 min.

they have more consistent players for sure.

Iowa is simply better than Purdue this season. I'll be glad to see Hammonds finally graduate.

Because good coaches make changes at the half. Not all coaches struggle with adjusting or changing strategies to force your opponent to match you. It sure seems that Painter can be outcoached by too many of his peers. I'm not a fan of him leaving Haas in while he floundered at all aspects of the game.

7th post and inability to spell our best players name. Smells like a troll. We will be worse off without AJH for sure.

This is what Painter does. Most fans seem to understand gameflow and subbing patterns better than him.

Are you kidding me? We saw today what life will be like without Hammons.

I agree Iowa is just better and more consistent than we are.

This is a pretty good Purdue team, but I think it's ceiling has become increasingly clear since the Butler game.
