Petree is really in the doghouse, something likely happened for this to be going on.
Happy for Ava as she deserves this opportunity. Still find it interesting that Petree is your leading scorer and she sits…. And Layden returns. Could be wrong but not sure Layden liked being 4th or 5th on this team? And again, KG throws Petree under the bus with criticism and inference, but was mute regarding Layden’s absences. They might be college kids but that speaks volumes to them I am sure. KG isn’t gaining any support by sitting the leading scorer. She must not want to win?
I don't understand the substitutions, Learn, Layden and Harper on the bench, and still no Petree.....
Petree was the leading scorer, but she added little else and I don't know that she made the team better. We seem to move the ball a lot better without her on the floor, ball moves better and the defense is tighter.
In the 6 minutes Woltman was in, NU only got 1 rb, and it went from 10-5 to 11-10 favoring NU in rbs. Woltman alas has picked up two quick fouls, hopefully someone else will keep hitting the boards.
Harper is very slow…she’s a decent player but she needs limited minutes. When you talked about players that maybe need minutes cut, she’s probably a good one because of her defense and the fact that she’s slow.
NU hit 3 straight 3PT shots at the end of the half. They can not do that all game. I still think we win this game.
But we were ahead by 14 and then they hit 11 straight. Frustrating.

She was also 25 ft + from the basket. Her 3PT shooting is 27%. Can’t blame defenders for slacking off her at that point.

If you have to play 12 feet off her to prevent the drive, you are not a very good defender and probably should not be playing...... JMO
Walsh complains after every call against her. So dislike that. Another Caitlin Clark.

the officials are playing down to the level of play of the two teams...... sigh.
6 minutes left, Harper with her 4th foul, 4TOs for Terry, Harper, and Hardin, but at least Terry has 9 assists. NEwton said Terry acts like her ankle is still bothering her a little from the injury against PSU. Learn started each half, but once she goes to the bench, she doesn't come back out..... SMDH
2:22 left Purdue 60-NU 50 LEarn finally in again, Woltman, Ellis and Smith leading in the +- category with Rickie leading the team at +18 and Woltman has helped Purdue get the rebounding advantage 36-27
Coach KG says Petree was fighting a “migraine”. Training staff helped her to locker room at end of the game.

NU loses, 65-54, I won't say much about us "winning because we played like crap. 19 TOs for Purdue, 24 for NU, Ellis with 24, Smith with 11. Petree apparently suffering from massive migraine and had to be helped off the floor at the end of the game. Woltman had a great game that doesn't all show up in the box, tipped several rebounds away from NU that someone else got credit for. Finished team best +16, Ellis +15. Harper Petree and Learn all in the - side of the house, although Learn was just -1.
Nice road win. It was pretty much a must win if you want post season play. Abbey Ellis was big.....she really plays hard. I think she needs to invest in some Brian Cardinal type knee and elbow pads as much as she hits the floor. Lol. I hope Lasha Petree is feeling better. Really need her playing her best to beat some of the better teams in the conference.
We seem to have a conspiracy theorist on the board lately. He sees drama everywhere when there really is none. I get the feeling he doesn't like Madison Layden for some reason. Lol.
Back to Mackey on Wednesday against Nebraska for another must win.

Maybe she’s not in the doghouse after all and has just had some health issues? KG addressing the reason for her absence/lack of play was the right thing to do. Ambiguity doesn’t help anyone.
