Ivey was elite. My goodness.
I am so relieved Trent could come back in.

If we needed a chip on our shoulder, this should work.
No we don't. A long to go to be elite is Indiana not us.

That a’boy Matt. Keep your starters in and run a play with 30 seconds left.
Welp. Just gotta shake this one off. Good thing the next one is an easy (by Big 10 standards) one at home. Hopefully we can use that one to build moment for down the stretch.

Make even a couple threes and this is at least close. Just a horrific second half shooting effort. Hopefully Trent is all good.
Turning point may have been that possession where the shot clock didn't reset properly. Regardless, hard to win when your opponent is automatic for an entire half. At one point, Purdue was 15 for 20
The long and the short of it for me first is trent looks fine which could have been a disaster. Point two Purdue would have beat anyone and I mean anyone in the country tonight. Tough loss but learn from it and whip the kitties this weekend.
Purdue will lose at michigan on Thursday. Just wait. They still have by far the most talent in the conference

Now we know how other teams felt playing against Ayo the past couple seasons. Let's take that lesson and go get better.
Lost to the better team tonight. Watch film tomorrow and put this in the rearview mirror. We can still win the BIG. Just need to win out, take care of our business and don't worry about the rest of the BIG..... And find someone to keep Ivey out of the damn lane when we meet them again in the BIG tournament and NCAA FF

Turning point was the Curbelo missed layup followed by an Ivey 3 to make it 47-40. Momentum shifted for the final time at that moment. Loved Andre’s effort and minutes tonight though-we’ll need him to go deep in March. Onto the next.
Prerty sure Brad said something to him about that when shaking hands.
Not our night. Open looks for good shooters, nope. Slams for the King, nope. Deflated by seeing Trent on the floor. All this vs a great team on thier floor...whatever.
I hoped we'd keep this to single digits and maybe steal a win. Let's get angry and run the table from here.

That's the part that pissed me off the most. If I was Brad I would've said something about that during the handshake at the end. C'mon really Painter!
They hit their open shots and we didn't. Not too much more.

I know there were no defensive stops. But it's awfully draining to get so many open shots and not see them go down.

Pretty lame move imo
Out rebounded 5 of last 6 games (and in total boards by the 6 teams), our center production out played again by Purdue, and shooting woes continue with Plummer and Frazier scoring NO points in 2nd half. That is a recipe for defeat. Purdue shoots 51%. Home court does mean a lot in the BIG.

purdue and ivey are very good. defense is their achilles heal.. even in a big win we missed a LOT of open shots
Yeah I think we can stop saying we are an “elite” shooting team because we aren’t. We are a decent 3 point shooting team trending in the wrong direction.
