As of last night; Purdue was just a 6 point favorite

 

[Franisdaman]

Purdue NOW just a 5 point favorite; Vegas must like Fran and his ability to change that 22 point blow out loss at Purdue into a very different game in Iowa City

 

[thirteenandtwo]

biggest game of the year... perhaps ever.

[Suterman]

This is the biggest Hawkeye basketball game since last Sunday!!!!

O/U: 153.5

 

[2432Hawk]

We got 0 points from 40% of our starting lineup last time vs. Purdue. I expect that to change.... also now the Freshman have a few Big Ten games under their belts should help.

Very good points! I think it was Tyler Cook's first game back also.

The "0 points from 40% of our starting lineup" comment is a little misleading; our starting line up included Wagner, who took just 2 shots; Cook played more minutes and was 6-10 from the field.

Starters::

0 pts, Wagner, 13 min, 0-2 FGs, 0-0 FTs
10 pts, Pemsl, 16 min, 4-8 FGs, 2-2 FTs
0 pts , Moss, 18 min, 0-4 FGs, 0-0 FTs
6 pts, JoBo, 23 min, 2-8 FGs, 2-2 FTs
13 pts, Jok 22 min, 4-15FGs, 4-4 FTs

Off the bench:

12 pts, Cook, 22 min, 6-10 FGs, 0-0 FTs


The game was over at half time: Purdue led 49-25

For the game we shot a lousy 37% overall and just 24% from 3 (4-17); I really expect these numbers to improve at home. At least I hope!

biggest game of the year... perhaps ever.

 

[thirteenandtwo]

its about to get real

 

[Hawksfor3]

Go Hawks.

 

[Franisdaman]

i hate Purdue with all my heart and all my soul

 

[DarkThunder#61]

The hairs on my chest are erect with excitement.

 

[McLovin32]

Bout that time boyz.

 

[youcantguardme]

Like this media crew.

 

[Franisdaman]

i demand that Purdue do the honorable thing: Forfeit and get on the bus and go home

 

[youcantguardme]

Anyone in Carver...Do we got a crowd? This is Purdue.

 

[McLovin32]

It didn't look good on TV. At all.

 

[Franisdaman]

The hairs on my chest are erect with excitement.

i love erections!

Seems reasonable. Not sure why they'd fuss about it.

 

[youcantguardme]

Jok stay agressive one foot in.

 

[Franisdaman]

ummm, we have a new scoreboard but old shot clocks that don't work?

 

[thirteenandtwo]

its a Slug Fest

 

[Kinnick 4 Prez]

Uhl in... travel.

 

[thirteenandtwo]

Baer Knocked Down

 

[Mitch122]

Bohannon, Ellingson, Baer, Uhl, and Wagner. WTF is Fran thinking with that lineup

 

[meatloaf55]

baer with a heck of a block

 

[meatloaf55]

this is a pretty good game... which is way better than I thought it would be

 

[MWardT]

Sure, show me Swanigan's stats, but in one and a half games of watching him, not impressed. Give POY to Jok!!

 

[thirteenandtwo]

 

[TheRealHerky]

Swanigan going all Reggie Miller on us.

 

[Franisdaman]

Purdue's 3 pt shot making and FTs are the difference so far

 

[StormHawk42]

If we lose to Swanigan draining 3's, so be it. Gotta pick your poison with him.
