We're down 27-21 in the first half. That isn't close to being done.

It's all about the feel for the game. It's more that we are just flat out getting outplayed offensively and defensively. They are executed so much better than we are on both ends. Therefore, WE ARE DONE!

We are tired...Its like watching receivers that can't get separation.

On the bright side, we'll never have to play against Hammons again.

They're so big. We're tired and not near as big. Tate got the ball wide open off the elbow and looked terrified and got the ball out of his hands a fast as he could. Malcolm working hard but he can't do it alone.

First game, we swarmed them every touch, doubling and even tripling. Not doing that now, probably for fear of burning out our legs/energy. Wonder if Groce is saving that for 2nd half.

cant swarm the way they are moving the ball and hitting outside shots.

I realize we are tired, but some of the things we do on offense and defense can be so stinking frustrating to watch.

One 3 so far. No way we can compete with Purdue if we don;t hit threes.

Problem is we can't get clean looks playing 4 on 5... we need a pg in the worst way. Wonder if we'd be better off with a malcolm, KN, jcl, finke, and morgan lineup, but that doesn't leave us with any depth

It just doesn't compute w me. We are playing a man down w/ Tate in there. Groce will never see it.

They're playing good perimeter defense and with those two bigs clogging up the lane we're really having a hard time generating points.

The boys are gassed. Playing three college games in a row is a tough task to ask of any team. They didn't quit though even in a year where it would have been pretty easy to do so.

I'd like Purdue to go back to the "forget we have a startling size advantage" strategy they used against us earlier this season.

Just came in from working out in the yard to check the score... think I'll go back outside and enjoy this gorgeous spring day.

How do we give up that wide open three on an inbounds play where the guy doesnt move?
