******Purdue vs Iowa Game Thread******

He played the perfect amount because coaches never make mistakes.

Ulis still looks rough...he can matchup to Ivey on defense, but his Handle and his shooting haven't looked
good recently.
He gave it all when he was put there. And Ulis also played pretty damn well.
 
JoshO played fantastic...maybe Fran needs to tell Josh and Mulvey layups are okay, don't hunt shots. Fran has
been so stubborn not to play either of those guys when Rebraca can't even defend some of these bigs in B1G.

Tired legs probably impacting 3pt shooting I would have liked more Sandfort.

Kris got ripped by refs....however Purdue will get their guy back in 2nd half also.

Iowa making Trevion Williams look like All American.
If I could pick any Big to join our team,it would be Williams. He makes everyone else around him better with his BB IQ. Knows were everyone else should be and gets them the ball. Edie wouldn't be shit if he wasn't 7'4".
 
Did you notice that Iowa kept the lead WITH the backups? Heaven forbid the staff the staff would get credit for that.
🙄
use your eyes man. kind of like the perkins turnover under a minute yesterday. It's almost like your best ball handler should have been in.

I'm actually kinda surprised by the rebounding numbers. Seems like Iowa was doing a good job on that - at least early on.

Later in the half Purdue beat us on the glass pretty good. Williams single handedly beat us on the boards.

Effort is there, just needs shots to fall.

You know we’re not happy unless we’re bitching about the rotations. You act like this is four games in four days or something. On my XBox, I play four games in an hour. Don’t even break a sweat (most nights).

We’re on our fourth game in four days. If we can avoid not playing all our best players in the first half and still hold a lead, I’d say it was a major success. Time to put the foot on the pedal down the stretch… I think we can wear Purdue down
 
Part of the one and done is were shooting with the basket surrounded by PU. Be more selective, I don't think they're sharing the ball as well right now...
They are packing it in. And Keegan shooting 3s moves Iowa's best rebounder outside. Great when he makes them, not so much when he misses.

Rebounding will be key this half, but part of the difference has to do with the number of shots Iowa took vs Purdue (38 vs 27).
 
Ogundele always plays better against the better bigs. Maybe it's because they're traditional centers, I don't know, but I like it.

Josh ate Eddy up....Josh too big to move off the block. Eddy not been a problem, but Williams has killed us. Looks like fran was planning using some Kris Murray and double teaming against Williams and Kris got two quick fouls.

Rubalca at least made Eddy guard him, but Rubaca just totally outmatched in post defense vs anyone bigger or quicker.

It wasn't bad defense, considering how deep Ivey was when he shot it, but that answer to JBo's 3ptr sucked.

6-pt halftime lead vs 3 woulda been nice.

Yep. That’s one you tip your cap to. If you take it and make it, well done. Move on.
 
Right now Bohannon isn't shooting, he's just launching. You think he'd know better by now.
 
11 more field goal attempts and Iowa barely winning....good omen or bad omen....need better 3pt shooting or go to dribble drive..

Sandfort babbyy!!! Fresh legs.
