Wow. That was a fantastic fantastic game. I had to watch on replay/delay due to work but just got through it.
- the fouls to Cockburn were unfortunate. Especially the tangled up one that could have gone either way. But BBV gave us some great minutes. A few big rebounds and a couple extra possessions. He wasn’t the scoring threat of Kofi, but dmn he did well
- Stefanovic is a sniper-sniper. So good, and he got hot. Hard to stop when he was raining in 3s at that rate. He killed every little run we made in the second half.
- Ultimately our depth did us in. Didn’t have the energy to go 2OT against their 10 deep bench. You could see it in their body language.
We fought like hell and I am so proud. This is a great team. Purdue is a great team. I don’t think we have many minuses looking at this game except maybe a couple defensive lapses.
Mostly: I am so so happy to see Andre back doing Andre things. It’s like he never left
