Purdue v. Michigan State Game Thread
- Thread starter Purdue Grad in Texas
- Start date
Good Lord he's whining on the interview now. I really.... really can't stand Izzo.
Purdue had fouls to give...no way Bridges should have been able to dribble all the way downcourt. Foul him and make them inbound the ball in the backcourt. Plus, you get to set up your defense.
I would of been worried about an intentional being called. Especially with the whiner going off ...
I can't because sadly I used to as well. But he has gone full douchebag....
That is a huge worry..............and IH has the target on his back
Hopefully MSu has fallen in love with the 3 and cools off. Can't believe their guards aren't attacking the paint to get IH and Biggie some fouls.
I bet we see that early in the 2nd.
We need Vince to wake up. Keep Carsen in, he's our only fast break hope. He just had to be smart with the shots.

MSU cools off from the outside. We counter that by being called for about 20 traveling calls in the second half. This game is going down to the wire. Gotta love our foul situation right now; that was my biggest fear coming into the game.
Before the game, I thought the boards would be fairly even, so my keys to the game were:
1.) Fouls on Ward (ie get him off the floor) - He got 2nd at 10 min mark !
2.) Avoid giving Mich easy pts (layups, dunks & ft) - only gave up 6 layups / 12 pts & NO freethrows ! !
3.) Had to shoot 50% - We are at 46%
We played 1 half this way - 1 to go and we WIN ! Their 60% shooting will drop.

Vince looks tentative. If he plays like he can they can't beat us. If he keeps missing switches, making weak drives, and cutting slow and soft it's going to be tight.
