I thought we played really hard against a Purdue team that came out with a ton of energy and firing on all cylinders. We didn't give up, Quincy and Marcus both showed out really well. Justin has been really good these past few games and his defense has taken a giant giant step up these past 2 games. Almost night and day difference. Ty had a really rough one today where almost nothing went right for him. There's no doubt in my mind he plays better in the rematch and just attacks Edey and dishes.
Speaking of Edey, we got some beneficial calls on him tonight, which he doesn't normally get called for, but one thing was clear, he does not have the lateral quickness to keep up with Guerrier when he cuts to the hoop. Our next game, I would be shocked if that is not the game plan. Attack him and get it to the slashing Guerrier. Force him to either give up the layup or foul.
Overall, a lot to be positive about in this one. Purdue is a load on the boards. If we can clean that up next time we face them and avoid the second chance 3 point barrage, I think we'll walk out the victor. Lot of heart in this one and effort. Let's go out and beat MSU
