7 fouls in the 1st half. 11 in 7 minutes of the 2nd. Amazing how often that happens.

Both teams haven't been as good defensively---lots of reaching, grabbing. Teams adjust offensively, more often than they do defensively. There was no reason for either team to make any adjustments defensively---But offensively they have. Defense hasn't adjusted. Much sloppier game this half.
its a judgment call but Samuels didn’t move on the first bump and fell really easily on the 2nd.
How could the center on a 2-3 zone not get defensive 3 seconds every possession???
First bump wasn't as bad---second bump not all that bad, BUT----Trevion dipped down on the second bump. You do that, and you're getting banged for a foul every single time.
That was my question....You'd still be able to zone.
My crew in HS, all over the 3 seconds---and eearly. We tell the kids---"we will talk to you, and give ya a chance to get out of there. But if ya don't listen, we are calling it."
I do the same in my college games as well.
It needs to be a POE.
Twice now Nova has missed front end, with a chance to push lead to 7 or 9, and Purdue has respnded with a 3...Huge swings.
Defensive 3 sec rule makes no sense. How many defenses can you run without having a guy in the lane?
Not surprised...Purdue is explosive..Painter adjusted to what Nova was doing....Nova no bench, AND, missing a ton of freebies.
If Purdue can keep up their shooting they are going to mess around and win a national championship
Nova needs to develop their bench during the season to become their full potential. 9-17 from the free throw line.
Edey wow!!
Edey wow!!
Nova enters game shooting 89% from the line-----9-17 today. Eeek.
Fun game. Both are legit.

Theres a few teams that if they hit 11 straight shots, that could win a title...Purdue hasn't missed a shot in like 7 minutes.
Nova's legs are gone. FT's are proving that. Their style is hard to play without rest between games.
I don’t mean that. I mean if they have multiple guys that can stretch the floor and force teams to play Mano-y-mano on Ivey/the bigs they are going to be a problem.
Indeed- and Coach Goog my Purdue Klown buds hadnt even warned me the Due Due's had a Big Lanky SiberiaSquatch either. It felt like getting pool hall hustled by Tom Cruise only he was taller this time and wore sandals and socks everywhere like a Hoosier Bastard.
Edey player of the game----But not my vote. IMO, Purdue does not win this game w/o Thompson. 4-4 from three....and great defense on Gillispe. No chance they win today w/o his performnce.
SO I am trumping the announcers vote----My vote for player of the game is Thompson.

I disagree with that somewhat- they only played majority six guys today, need to develop their bench more..
I know this was meant for someone else....Purdue is really good. But I don't think they are better than Gonzaga, UCLA, Kansas, or possibly even Duke. They are certainly Top 5, no doubt. A lot of interchangeable teams, TBH. But Purdue needed a 12-12 from the field finish,to beat a teeam that was massively undersized, and no bench.
First time seeing Purdue. Very impressed. I just don't think they can do what they to Nova, to a GU, UCLA, KU, or Duke. Doesn't mean I don't think they can't beat them---of course they could. Purdue needs to fix some things defensively....But man are they good.
Sounds good. Lol. Would love to play any of those teams.
No turnovers for Nova in the half really was the difference.
