Sucks when you don’t have an 8ft center who got to shoot 30 free throws a game

After PU beat Bama, I thought they were on their way to another November National Championship. I guess not this year.

They will still hang a banner on December 1st ?!

Just physically overmatched. Too much of Purdues offense is just Smith dribbling the ball hoping to draw defensive help and create a bad defensive rotation to open up shooters.

Completely different team when Smith has to start the offense 35 feet from the basket. Alabama has better athletes than Marquette yet for some reason let Purdue get comfortable running their sets.

Marquettes defense really sped Purdue up last night. Close game until right at the end. Purdue finally unraveled. The shots were there, but didn’t make them. Good news is it is November. Time to get that corrected. Marquette looked really good!

Other traditional foes-Mark effin Pope has started with an effin bang at effin UK. Too bad

I watched only a few plays of the game. Recap said it was a close game until the last 5 minutes. From the box score it looks like if you can shut down or control their two guards, you win. I have always thought a more athletic guard that chases Lowyer all over the court to keep the ball out of his hands or makes it tough for him to shoot helps beating them. This year I think IU has the two defensive guards they need to do exactly that ... control them.

Ya, it was close until the 5 minute mark. I do agree though, to an extent. Marquette player really good D. Games like last night is where the maturation of Cox, Harris, and Colvin are vital to this teams success.
