We just don't look good. Get healthy and regroup for the BTT.

Put in all bench players before someone gets hurt. PU is killing Illinois without Edey.

PU can hit three's while their opponent can't. Unreal.

This is embarrassing but expected.

Can't even get a final shot off. I really don't know what you can do if you're Brad. Just some awful performances by your best players. I guess you could sit them to start the half, but that's not going to fix anything. A coach can't play for his players

Not having a veteran point guard who plays with poise is killing us. Our offense was nonexistent the last 8 minutes of the half. Not getting a shot off to end the half is just par for the course today. Hope they decide to show up in the 2nd or we will lose by 40.

Purdue absolutely playing like a 1 seed right now. Their defensive intensity and schemes putting a massive hurt on us and completely taking us out of any semblance of an offense. THey're doing a great job switching and doubling the ball. We may be playing poorly, but that is in no small part to them playing out of their minds.

It's really amazing to me that we've won 20 games this season. A testament to the staff. We look like a terrible basketball team often. Reinforces to me how important a competent point is to a team at this level. We deserve whatever terrible B10 seed we get after the unforced turnovers and bad D we have played this half. We are nowhere near good enough to overcome momentum-changing calls.

It's hard to look good when you miss shots and turn the ball over.

It is what happens when you don’t have an experience PG or no PG at all in that type of environment and you get you butt kicked in the first 4 minutes every damn game! You can’t do that there

I'm starting to question the "we can beat anyone" philosophy when it comes to the tournament. I'm not sure that we can anymore, especially without Epps. It's hard to win with both poor ball handling and poor shooting.

Yep it’s a low IQ team

Well we’re going to make the tourney so there’s that. But no way in hell am I filling out a bracket with us advancing past the first weekend. Hit the portal for a PG and some wings who can shoot the ball.
