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

[Bulldogs1974]

Rushed/hunts his shot and ends up taking difficult 3s....He's our best shooter but he's not lived up to his shot form. Still has rest of this year and next to become the man.

He does make those when hot. He has not been hot today.

 

[Carolina-Hawk]

Krikke runner was the play after the break?

 

[hawkirugged17]

Edey does have 3 fouls now.

 

[Moral]

Poked in the eye?

Nevermind, ankle.

 

[hawkirugged17]

Ankle roll for Dembele. Yikes.

 

[83Hawk]

Hawks can't buy a bucket.

 

[iahawks10]

No foul called…. Of course.

 

[jamesvanderwulf]

jeezus, the roof is leaking again

That's what you get when you hire a Texas architect. Canvas skylight in a cold weather climate. Heat rises and snow on the tarp causes it to sweat and condensate. They even have secondary troughs to catch the condensate so it's dripping through the backup patch job. This problem started on the day it opened...

 

[hawkeye_wx]

There's not much Iowa can do. They have no answer for Edey, so they have to triple team him. That is leaving three point shooters wide open.

 

[HawkLogic]

Ankle roll for Dembele. Yikes.

Purdue taught to undercut guy in the air?

 

[bhelm22]

Rules question: isn't a post player who is "sealing the defender" committing a moving screen or is there a special rule for offensive post ups that exempt it? Purdue has been killing us with this and Luka Garza used to be great at it also.

 

[hawkirugged17]

Dix 3! Iowa down 16.

 

[83Hawk]

No foul called…. Of course.

Aw...he didn't mean nuthin'.

 

[hawkirugged17]

PS3 and Iowa down 13 now.

 

[Moral]

Krikke's midrange is so damn automatic.

 

[83Hawk]

8-0 run!

 

[hawkirugged17]

Krikke 2 and Iowa down 11 ... drip drip drip.

 

[longliveCS40]

Freeman is such a difference maker and Perkins is bringing it today.

 

[Franisdaman]

nice little run

lead cut to 11

 

[jamesvanderwulf]

Iowa making a little run with the mutant on the bench...

 

[hawkirugged17]

Aw...he didn't mean nuthin'.

 

[hawkeye_wx]

Took an 8-0 run just to get it back to 11. Every run by Iowa this game has quickly been shut down (or Iowa got sloppy and shut it down themselves). This one needs to keep going or it's game over.

 

[BlIIlken2]

False hope here. Miss a timely bucket and then Eddy and refs will takeover to seal it.

 

[iahawks10]

Aw...he didn't mean nuthin'.

Had that been Edey that went down after being undercut it would have been a Flagrant 2. Since it was an Iowa freshman, play on.

 

[TheRealHerky]

Someone put a foot under Edey now. Fair is fair.

 

[HawkLogic]

There's not much Iowa can do. They have no answer for Edey, so they have to triple team him. That is leaving three point shooters wide open.

The don't need to triple team ocassional doube team.


Dembele did decent job on him and Braun can also do decent job. Don't put Freeman on him because Eddey is going to draw 10 fouls and Freeman has to sit out most of the game.

Loyer looks like main Purdue 3pt threat. Don't help off him.

 

[QChawks]

Walks the dog hoping to come back to a close game

 

[jamesvanderwulf]

15-3 offensive rebounds....

 

[BlIIlken2]

You mean they gave up another offensive rebound to kill the run? I’m utterly shocked.

 

[KcTo]

Sandfort standing at top of key while PU gets 2 OBoards and ensuing 3
iowa should be sending all 5 to the boards

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Purdue's a basketball school. Students have to go into a lottery to go to a game. Football not so much.

 

[hawkirugged17]

Perk in the lane for 2. He has 20 points.

 

[longliveCS40]

Great assist for Dix

 

[hawkirugged17]

Nice take and wrap around pass by Dix to Freeman for 2.

 

[Franisdaman]

Big DIX assist

 

[longliveCS40]

Hummel is the best basketball announcer in the business these days.

 

[hawkirugged17]

Great double by Iowa ... Edey still sees over 2 guys to make a good pass for a 3 ... which is missed.

Freeman gets 4th foul on rebound attempt on the other end.

 

[QChawks]

Ouch

 

[BlIIlken2]

lol like he was going to walk that off.

 

[Moral]

Nifty move by Dix.
