Interstate is made by JCI. All they make are commercials and labels. Let's hope their labels make sense.

Purdue coach blaming no fouls being called

InM usually unbiased when it comes to officiating, but you can make contact without fouling. Keep good posture and stay straight up. It has been a very nicely officiated game. A few calls have been head scratchers but we get replay and they don't

Matthews has defended well, rebounded, and hit a jab step 3 over Haas. He's doing alright. More pts from the shots he's taken would be great of course but such is life.

he has 9 pts and 4 reb against one of the best Ds in the country. and coming off injury. if one of his 3s would have gone down, you're looking at a very good half. relax.

Painter: "They're not going to call fouls." wtf?

I mean, it is kind of remarkable that we have only committed 3 fouls when they pound the post so frequently

Wagner's not fouling, he's just getting torched.

It is crazy how bad he is defensively. His positioning just seems so off

They've settled for (and made) a large number of perimeter shots too, though.

We sometimes go through stretches where we just take a couple bad jump shots outside the offense. Always goes with a run for the opponent.

That was big. But it's still a deficit where you have to make a run to start the second half.

Also, his suit reminds me of a chair my great grandma had in the late ‘70s. And I’m guessing that chair was not new when I was seeing it then.

We’ll never finish a half strong. But at least it’s not as bad as it was earlier in the game. It would help if Purdue would stop draining every f*cking three they attempt. Stop with that PLEASE!

He's one of my favorite non Michigan players. He looks like he should be working on a factory line with a wad of kodiak in his lip. Great hustle and he is playing just because he loves the game. He won't be in the NBA

If my memory serves me right, this is the first time he's really shot well against Michigan. I always thought of him as the guy who the announcers talked up, but then went like 1-7 from three and was wasted space

I feel like that was a solid defensive effort, all things considered, but Purdue just couldn't miss for awhile there.
