Purdue was way off their game, which says something about this team.

I was bit surprised how much fire IU played with and how effective they were on offense. Trey G. killed us on layup after layup as they ran a good PnR.

IU just showed every team how to play us. Go 1:1 on our bigs and let TKR get his points, but harass our other 4 at the 3 pts line and force them inside.

Purdue seemed reluctant to side step and shot from three.

I mean IU didn't do anything new and fancy. When we aren't hitting from three and when only TKR and Smith are doing any real damage on offense, we struggle. Not a surprise. When we have contributions from all top 8 players like OSU, we roll. When it's mostly Smith and TKR, it's a lot harder for us.
