Purdue vs. Northwestern THREAD
- Thread starter DubJellison
- Start date
36-17 at the half. We aren't playing well, but NU really is awful. 10 TOs at the half
36-17 at the half. Northwestern really struggling. Purdue killing them on the boards. If we could stop with the unforced turnovers it would be a blow out. Terry and Stevenson with 2 fouls each about the only concern for Purdue.
Very unusual game, we are playing poorly with being loose with the ball and not shooting well, but NU just doesn't care. They have quit and are just going through the motions. Purdue up 51-20. This kind of effort and execution next game will get us blown out by a mad Nebraska team that just got skull drug at OSU 80-47 and had 30 TOs to 18 made baskets. UGH..... That Iowa hangover was strong apparently, and now they will come in ready to make up for that terrible performance.
My radio feed is cutting in and out so badly I’m gonna shut it down. Will check back here in a while for the final score. Sounds like PU has this one in the bag.
57-30 Purdue at the end of 3. Just sloppy ugly ball by both teams. We are not playing one whit better than our normal crappy performance on the road, NU is just playing that much worse. 14 TOs and pulled their shooting up to 44% by hitting 66% in the third quarter. Lots of individual milestones being hit by the boiler ladies.
final 74-48 Purdue...... ugly game but the bench got lots of time to play.
We hit the boards hard and pushed the tempo, but it was still really sloppy. Terry another double double with only 1 point.
It wasn't.....they dominated this game in every facet. They did have too many unforced turnovers but other than that they played well.

Negatives -
Jones has seemingly hit a freshman wall, specifically on offense. Understandable. Hopefully she breaks out of the funk soon.
Mckenna had a boot on and didn't play. Didn't she have one on earlier in the year but never missed a game?
Still a bunch of unforced turnovers. 18 all together, 10 at half and alot of them by our seniors.
Positives -
Ellis and Madison both got on track offensively, hopefully they can finish the rest of the season strong.
Swanson had more layups than 3's, didn't have that on the bingo card.
27-0 scoring run.
Final thoughts -
Not to take the joy out of this road win but northwestern is probably the worst team in the conference? Still, it was nice to see the ladies not let off the gas and finish a full game.

Congratulations to Abbey Ellis for passing 1000 points tonight. The first transfer to do so at Purdue.
Terry hit a milestone or two tonight as well (don't remember exactly what they were) , and Madison moved up to 6th all time in 3s made at Purdue and is only a couple away from 5th.
I think she is closing in on 1000 points for her career including at Illinois. They also said something about her career assist, rebounds and steal totals were something that only one other player had ever done. I don't remember what each number was.
900 rebounds 700 assists 200 steals are the milestone numbers that Janae Terry hit. The only other player in Big Ten history to do it was Samantha Logic from Iowa.
