Well said. We "needed" to lose one (I HATE that statement, but I've seen too many undefeated on once defeated teams lose early in their end-of-season tournamnents". I definitely like the way we played the second half. Our young'uns learned a lot and I think our senior citizens learned some things. I agree ... ONWARD!!!!
I think it’s more of the younger generation thinking the need to “show off, or try to be part of” the celebration. After so many meetings, neither program should be storming against each other unless it’s a FF of better game.
Physical play allowed wherever it takes place enhances the less skillful play where ever that happens. IU has an old team that had size and strength and shot well early, but maybe if Purdue doesn't go to the floor early looking for a call Purdue does a bit better the first half.
I am worried for March. The guard play has to improve, and not by a little.
Just wished MSU would have taken down Rutgers today. Last I looked I think Rutgers had a nice schedule the rest of the way.
relax. Take the L, let them enjoy it...those kids have had literally nothing to get excited about in a long time.
That's the point. Purdue beats iu all the time in Mackey and don't storm the court. I can't remember last year, did iu storm the court last year too? Pretty funny.
No you don’t - we won’t when we win here because it’s not what you do when you expect to win
Respectfully, I think you’re missing the point, and it’s a complementary point for Purdue.
Actually it is "physical perimeter (1-3) play" with "length" and a slow whistle. A tightly called game or even less length and it isn't quite the problem. In three weeks the same players will play and we will have a chance to see if the youth adjust between now and then.
When you play a arch rival at any time you have to come with your A game the first half was shaky both offensively and defensively they regrouped in the second half but IU had just enough to hold on. Will see a different game at Purdue
When was the last time Purdue beat Indiana when #1? Sorry but last time Indiana was #1 and went played at Mackey....
ummm, i try and not ever go around correcting another man's work but to quote Fargo... : "I don't necessarily agree with your detective work there Lou."
I can't ever remember court storming for beating iu. Ever. Maybe it happened 50 years ago but I can't remember one.
It's at the Den of Vipers!!! Let's hope IU isn't still on the court so they can practice and the celebration of Purdue's loss is over. That game at IU is huge. I just hope the gym lasts long enough that they play it there and don't have to go somewhere else
