[QUOTE="the juiceman cometh, post: 1572834, member: 747321"] I think these two things can be and are both true: 1. This is a good team that can, when at its best, beat anyone 2. They did not play their best game Purdue may well be a good team, but they played sloppy too, which was lucky for us. They shot 39% from the field and turned the ball over 14 times. A chunk of this was our defense, for sure, but a lot of it was just Purdue playing badly. We had a bad day, and found a way to win. That's not necessarily a bad thing. Every team has their off days, and I think finding a way to stay focused and pull out the win on days like that is an important skill. Let's just not kid ourselves into thinking this was a good performance. [/QUOTE]
