Watching Biggie and Isaac Work Together...

[Ben Shadeland]

...is a thing of utter beauty. Those two and Coach Painter deserve a ton of credit for their symbiosis. The fact that the two can not only coexist on the floor at the same time, but flourish together, speaks volumes about both of them. Caleb is such a willing passer. Isaac is becoming so good at playing within himself. And Coach has taught them exactly how to exploit their unique skills.

As someone said on Twitter earlier (Purdue Basketball retweeted it), no one in the county can replicate what we have. There's no guarantee that good things will happen in the Big Dance, but I feel more excited for the Big Dance than I have since before Robbie Hummel got hurt.

Agree Caleb is a sharp passer up high to Isaac & still getting better, and Isaac is digging out of his funk, making fewer mistakes & seeming more confident. Hard to not feel optimistic after a win like this one! Boiler Up!

The announcers said how the opp can drive to the basket against Purdue. But NOT when Caleb and Haas are in there. Vincent showed tonight he can shut down a high scoring SF too. If Haas can consistently play 25 minutes a game, then final 4 baby!

That pass from Biggie to Haas filling the lane for the dunk was beautiful.
Haas has also been getting much better position on the low block, making it easier to make his moves to the hole. Part of that is also the passers recognizing when he's in position to do something.
Also, that sky hook from Haas was nasty. That's unstoppable if he can perfect it.

Next year every game is going to be a two-way race, kind of like the end of Star Wars.

Our opponents trying to get Isaac into foul trouble will be like the Imperial forces moving into position to blow up the rebel base.

Isaac dominating in the post is Luke making his trench run to blow up the Death Star.

As long as the refs don't play the part of Vader, we'll prevail.

While I'll agree the Haas/Biggie synergy is pretty special...I'm telling you the key to this season has moreso been the Edwards boys. Watching Vince penetrate and put serious pressure on defenses, and on the ball defense is incredible transformation to his game. Carsen handling the rock with PJ is another part of the growth of this team. We've watched the outside shooting wane, and through that they've still managed to find ways to score and win games. What we're seeing now is a team that can beat you in so many ways, it's tough to shut it all down.
