IU gave Purdue exactly what they wanted

[IUFan4Lifer]

A slow nonaggressive opponent. IU needed to run the floor, push that ball up every time. Defensive rebound and throw it down court. Instead we played their slow 1/2 court game every possession. You don't beat Purdue playing that game.

If we play at faster than a snails pace we throw the ball in the stands or dribble it off our own foot about half the time.

Purdue also has the size to dominate our Bigs and forced IU to shoot from outside. Something we are not very good at doing.

I agree as IU did have some success beating Purdue down the floor for a quick basket.

So is that on the coaches and their game plan? Or a lack of execution of the game plan?

Purdue did the same to us a couple times

Same difference.
