True that any road win is good, but this was a first for Purdue this year on the opponents home court. I think that lack of confidence was a bit apparent last night early. I thought after the Toledo game that Caleb needed more minutes as he has the potential "this year" to help this team get better and thought Caleb did well. As I said above, this was a good answer to the physical play...something the minny asst coach was demanding of is players for Purdue to answer the physical play. Only thing missing was the physical play with more pressure. This was a pressure game and the pressure was on Purdue to win and it didn't start well for Purdue and yet they kept grinding until others could help Fletcher and the foul situation was not as concerning and so as a team I think more players felt they contributed which was good for the morale. True that Minny day in and day out is not one of the better teams in the Big this year, but on a given night anything can happen and was starting to happen until Purdue circled the wagons and was not to be denied. Next is Northwestern and hopefully Caleb takes another step and Myles finds that two dribble into the lane when hard closeouts happen...
