WTF happened?

Couldn’t watch but was score checking. When we went up 8 late in the 1st, I felt good. When we were up 12 at the half, felt great. After that, seems like all hell broke loose. WTF happened!
Have opposing coaches figured out how to defend Purdue? Is our inability for anyone other than Smith to create our downfall? Do we not have enough “dudes”?

Would love to hear from those on here who have been saying that we don’t need to hit the portal, hard, this offseason.

Talent is a big problem.

Gee, you would think that a solid athletic wing that can create his own shot from the MVC would love to come here via the portal next season. Maybe I'm just dreaming and delusional. Power-5 basketball programs should not have "talent problems" or short benches full of Branden Newmans

We are missing toughness. Edey got hacked every single basket he made yet he never cried to the officials. These kids lack toughness and expect the refs to bail them out.

Time to wake up and finish strong.

I believe at halftime Woodie emphatically told his team to get in their grill and see how far the refs will let you beat them down

Been thinking about this exchange between PJ and Vince.

Perhaps dismissing some old school methods wasn’t for the better.

Raphael mentioned the summer they did SEALs training for a week. What it taught them about themselves and how it impacted them when times were hard.
