Well, early returns are we’re the best team in the Big Ten. Don’t know if TKR will make Purdue that much better….especially compared to when we get Tomi back.

Love Andrej's role right away. Late shot clock, just let him cook. Blown away by the offense in the first half. Big Z is going to be the best back up big man in the country. What a luxury!! LETS GOOOOO

we're playing very well even without Tomi and petrovic. this team is extremely deep
DEEEP at full strength it would be crazy good for us. Imagine having Ty healthy out the gate and Tomi,Lee,Petro????? Brad would have to maybe play 9-10 guys every night

Fantastic half. Mirk doing a great job on D on Toppin. A freshman holding his own with a lottery pick. So much to like about this team and effort
So, Toppin has done decent on offense when matched up against Mirk. Its a really tough task for a freshman. That said he's battling. On the other hand, he has had next to nothing against Big Z. Z's size is causing him major issues.

We can’t come out the half flat. TT is a good team and have a good coach. They’re in the locker room now making adjustments, they’ll come out aggressive. Let’s keep playing our game. Z and his rim protection is a game changer, forces teams to adjust and not play their game.

2 thoughts.
1. Mirk’s personality is a euro Matthew Mayer with a motor.
2. Andrej good. Was wondering watching the first 2 games who’d be the end of the shot clock guy or ‘go get us one guy,’ I think we found our answer.

Wonder if we see Petro in the second half at all
Unless there's an injury or foul trouble, I really hope not.

This isn't the game to come back to IMO. 3 of the next 4 games are against Colgate, Long Island, Texas-Rio Grande. Give him more time to heal and give him run somewhere there during that stretch.
