I guess it's good to keep Wagner and Teske out of foul trouble for the big battle down the stretch in the 2nd half

Michigan will have to be ready to answer when they do so. That's the key. We aren't going to run Purdue out of the building.

If you make him do hook shots & not layups, seems he makes 40-50%. I can live what that when they execute to get him a tough. Avoid the others getting into a rhythm & the layups.

Need to shore up the defensive rebounds here. Purdue isn’t really a good OREB team, but they’ve got 3 already (and it should have been four — that last one was out of bounds off of Wagner, and they blew the call. Oops, make it 4 now. :(

I'n not sure anyone could beat Michigan today they just have so much inertia right now...the chemistry gelled at the right time.

Apparently Haas is actually 11 feet tall. That’s how he can move from 2 feet outside of the lane to the other side of the lane without dribbling or traveling.

Need some of these shots to fall. And I don't know what the hell you are supposed to do about Haas. He can just bull his way down anytime he wants, but if you push back or reach it is a foul.

I think Wagner was so surprised that nobody came out to guard him that he took too long setting up his shot and missed it. Apparently that’s the new way to guard him — ignore him and hope he misses.
