Away game? Mackey gives them a lot of juice

Boxing out Edey and getting some more over the backs would seem to be the answer, but after watching what we did with those 8 minutes without him? I don't know

I'm not sure that's saying all that much. Everything is roughing the passer.
Very disappointing to not be closer after playing an Edeyless 10 minutes.
Not unexpected....but I did anticipate that the floor had been raised. I was wrong.
Nothing surprising though with Purdue ready for the challenge to their home floor.
If Boilers go 5 for 32 from the floor in the second half...this will be a barn-burner. Not sure any team ever did that though. I am taking bets they don't. Would like to see DGL and DD play at a higher level against this type of competition in order to feel better about the future.

That’s ok guys they only get their best player back in the next half..
True. Small but: he had two points and had drawn zero fouls on our center in 9 minutes.
NW only had 3 TO's to 17 for Purdue.

He was over the back multiple times...not being called...
Northwestern may not have stars on their team but they do always have 5 guys on offense. With respect, when Ty is out there, we do not. I love what the kid brings to the team but we play 4 vrs 5 in a half court set on every play and in the Big 10, that is 90% of your sets.
Play a lot harder and smarter. It's not gonna win this game, but we need to make it respectable to keep our confidence going.

6 different Purdue players have made a 3. So its not like someone has a hot hand. We’re giving them easy looks.
These guys went 6+ minutes without a field goal against AZ. They can run cold offensively. Gotta hope that happens in the second half somehow.
Just what Purdue needed, a free 3 points as time was expiring after Cohawk fouled their off balance shooter jacking up a wild shot with no chance of going in. Sums up our BB IQ on too many boneheaded plays this half. Purdue is the better team, but we are good enough to play them closer when we are dialed in.

Really missing our All-American this game
We have them right where we want them....
The two Things Worse than watching a poor performance by the Beloved.
1) listening to the announcers
2) reading the whiney strap-hanger part-time bi*ch posters here on Loyalty in the game thread when the game is not going our way
i KNOW not to peek in here during games, yet . . .

Issue is Brad rarely gets his team dialed in for big games.

Meh, they don't have a Center that "plays offense". Ty produces something like a NW center, from an offense perspective.
It's not like I expected a win on the road against the number 1 team in the country without our all American. But what? I never thought Purdue would out tough us. We came out shell shocked and never recovered.
Anyway, Brad's a good second half coach so I think we can save face and get this to single digits.
