The loose ball tussles on the ground and giving no quarter. Toughness statement for the entire league.

Erasing a 9 point deficit in the blink of an eye and never letting them get more than 5 points ahead.

Baer has two plays where here threw the ball off a PU player going out of bounds. One in both halves.

My favorite play of the game happened right after Baer threw the ball off of Swanigan. Jok comes off a pick for an open three in the corner (in front of the Iowa bench). I jumped out of my seat before the ball left Jok's hand. Hawks go up 4.

There was stretch in both halves where Jok wasn't even drawing iron on his shots.

In general the overall coaching:

the screen and rolls

switching up the defense in the 2nd half seemed to make Purdue a lot more passive

all the pick and rolls reminded me of Stockton and Malone..
if they are as good as they appear to be with the pick and roll game... they might not lose another game all year.

You guys are probably pretty good at it but also remember that there are plenty of teams that will be better prepared to defend it than Purdue.

you might be right... but... Stockton and Malone made a living playing the 2 man game.

That's the NBA. The NBA has different rules than college regarding defense (double-teaming, defensive 3 seconds in the paint, etc.) in order to favor the offense and make the "brand" more exciting to the casual fan.

I think all of our guys played with their eyes closed tonite.
