[QUOTE="Emerson Bigguns, post: 1714245, member: 666858"] Ivey is just a different animal. He is as gifted as anyone athletically. He is going to have similar performances against NBA players next year. When he goes off like he did last night, there aren't many guys in the world who could slow him down. The problem with Purdue is that you have to deny the post AND Ivey defensively. Its really difficult to do both. It is very much the Kofi/Ayo conundrum we presented last year. It's not unbeatable, but beating it has as much to do with them as what you can do to them. If they stay poised and confident, you probably aren't winning regardless of how well you play. [/QUOTE]
