Purdue (3/19/21)

[bstnsportsfan3]

NT dictated the crap out of that first half. We have Purdue playing exactly how we wanted

[Green P1]

Neat things are happening. 

[greenminer]

Thinking of the WKU game, how we weathered their comeback surge and still pulled out the W.

Our men have seen a lot.  BELIEVE IN THEM

[bstnsportsfan3]

I expect Purdue to come out with a big haymaker. The first 5 minutes of the 2nd half will be huge

[bstnsportsfan3]

Drez is a beast

[outoftown]

Offense still ok. Drez doing great. Defensive side needs to be regrouped a little though

We should rest the starters 

We already Albeit unintentionally  did this due to Reese and Simmons being in foul trouble.

 

Mac also did exactly this by give Robsinon a couple possessions to rest Bell early even though he wasn’t in foul trouble. 
 

Regardless, this is not a situation where it would warrant resting your starters. Post this again when we are ahead 20 with 3-4 minutes left...
 

[Andrew]

Couple huge missed opportunities to garner defensive boards that would have halted 6 points this half.

I'm glad we're hitting threes so well tonight.  Their size is starting to hurt us.

Yeah we have got to stop this kid. He is keeping them in the game.

[Charlie NT 73]

Yeah the tv announcers are very pro Purdue! 
Talking like North Texas should not be in the Big Dance. 

[Andrew]

Next 3-4 minutes are going to be huge. 
Fouls seem To be really affecting our guys and their Rhythm. Simmons has been non existent and Javion is silent this half. Hopefully these guys pull it together. We can do this.  

[akriesman]

Purdue is a  good team.   It’s just a great game between two really good teams.

Proud of our guys no matter what.

[Andrew]

28-19 Purdue up in Rebounds. That’s killing us just as much as ivy. Lots of second chance opportunities.

[outoftown]

Hamlet taking over! Defnse better again

[Udomann]

The last two minutes have been better.

Grant seems to have all the right things to say at each break.  The next 4 minutes are HUGE, and I'm cautiously optimistic.

We really responded well to their run! Love this team!

Best situational coach we have had in my opinion. Is game plans and in game decisions have been fantastic the last two years. 

[greenminer]

GRIPE: we are really struggling with Purdue's offensive rebounds

Purdue increasing their defensive intensity.  Gonna be really nerve wracking....
