MBB Purdue Game Open Thread

what exactly did Horford do to Johnson on that and 1? It looked like Johnson shuffled his feet and then didn't create any contact, Horford's hands were straight up. 

are pretty weak?

I mean, they're kinda there... but I think they're pulling a bit from thin air.

Purdue's offensive rebounds are taking away my life...

Jordan Morgan is impressing here in the 2nd half

at the freshman take it to the lotter pick.  saweeeet!!!

Morgan looking good right about now. Impressive him taking it to the rack.

3 by Moore.

The benching seems to have affected Morris, the coldest shooter right now.

Lead by 9...

.......and as I say that Morris gets the layup. Hopefully this gets him going.

*le sigh*

were losing contact

Gotta love that RAWK music.

Since it's back out to 11, we need a guy to catch fire. Who's it going to be?

Douglass hitting some timely threes could be the answer. Let's give him some shots.

Is absolutely suffocating.

Has Purdue missed a shot in the last couple minutes?

Huge 3 there for Morris nead a stop now.

God, this Purdue team is frustratingly veteran and clutch.

Every time it looks like we've made a big, momentum-changing play (like Hardaway's dunk), Purdue answers with a tough, momentum-crushing shot.

God wh is he wide open in the corner again?

Defense is doing a really bad job, overreacting to Moore and leaving Smith wide open, the guy is literally incapable of dribbling and he's getting wide open corner 3s

Some of these Purdue jerks can hit it from deep.  I don't like that.

At least pretend to go for the rebound.

Purdue pushes the lead to 13 behind Moore's jumper.

Purdue overplaying Morris' right hand is going to be a popular theme in the Big Ten season, but not all teams will have the defenders to apply the pressure like Purdue does.

This falls under the easier said than done category, but M is a better offensive team when Darius dribbles less. If Michigan other players were more assertive, Darius wouldn't have to dribble so much, so it's kinda a catch 22

...5-5 from 3-pt land in the 2nd half.  Brutally efficient.

This has been ugly and getting worse. We need to play almost perfect to pull this out from here.

they are just better than us ... at least we dont have to play them again this year

Purdue 65
Michigan 49

this sucks

Purdue up by 18 now.

And the alley-oop ends it, for all intents and purposes.

Purdue is awful for us match-up wise. We need to forget this one ever happened and move on; there are some tough games coming up.

zero defense in the 2H

sucks.

don't all for Michigan...

That one did.

Evan Smotrycz fouls out.

It's getting a little too physical.  They should call some more fouls.

call the dogs off ...
