Hear me out… if we’re going to get beat on every half court possession maybe try the trapping press. IU is shooting 67% - including 3s. Gotta try something different.

Mayer 0 points and 2 RB. He’s likely to go off in the second half don’t ya think?

Seems like stopping him was a primary key of the gameplan. Look for Brad to run some stuff for him early.

10 point deficit is nothing if we guard and rebound in the second half.

Have to figure out how to not let TJD establish himself 2 feet from the basket on defense. We really have to figure out these putrid, stagnant stretches in the next month. Can't continue for us to do anything at all in March.

I thought DD was doing a better job toward the end at bumping TJD HARD early to keep him out of there. Seemed to be working, and DD still have five fouls to give.

Agree. Plus they turn the ball over - 10 in the first half. Of course, we need Harris to be able to play, I missed his apparent injury?

Nobody wants to take Sencire Harris' aggressiveness away, but he is going to have to learn to play more under control. Not only does he often crash into screens, but now he's running into his own guys. He is fun to watch, but injuries are going to continue to happen if he keeps recklessly throwing his body around.

You simply can't lose on your home court. We win tonight in tie for 2nd place in Big10. Come on men! play defense, I'll settle for fouling TjD. He shoots free throws like CoHwak and Dainja! Hack him. No more layups, please.

He and TSJ ran into each other on a handoff. It was emblematic of the team’s first 15 minutes of the half.

Need some post D adjustment. IU owning the paint. This half may provide more evidence that it is a very good Purdue squad and then a bunch of average teams in the B10. Hopefully the Illini can put that sentiment in doubt.

Umm, not enough fouls on Illinois in the first half against Illinois I guess. That wasn't a foul on Dain.
