Fran won the game vs Purdue...

I'm a bit late to the party as I just had a chance to watch the IA-PU game on DVR. I haven't seen this mentioned in other posts but Fran had an outstanding game plan. I encourage people to re-watch the game - particularly the offensive sets. Assess the high-low, down low, pick and rolls, and the big men challenge Haas and Swanigan.

He took it right at them!

You know what?

I'm going to add to my original post that I made (perhaps a little weak and self-serving, I'm not sure) now that I've re-watched the game again. I'd add that Fran changed up defenses pretty impressively too - man-to-man, 1-3-1, 2-3/3-2, 3/4 court. full-court.

Just a really nice job by Fran I must say.

Agree with the above. Hats off to Fran. Opening the second half in zone was pure genius. It broke up Purdue's momentum and allowed us extra possessions. Switching defenses the entire second half kept PU a little out of sync.

I only thought Fran got credit when we lost!
