Nicholas, I believe I can safely say that we ALL are glad Rob didn't go to Purdue.

Including Rob.

Phinisee is going to be an all time favorite Hoosier. There’s no doubt about it

Say it enough times. Maybe more than you will believe.

Rob's dad is part of a Facebook group and said he'd make sure Rob sees this. Hell of a steal from Purdouche's backyard!

Rewatching the game this morning will treadmilling it.

 

Notes- 1st half.

 

Juwan hit nearly every key basket to keep us in it.

 

Rob was getting outplayed by Baldwin on both ends of the court. It wasn’t close. Watch again if you don’t believe me.

 

Butler was anticipating our starting action in the half court. They were stealing and tipping passes because they knew what we were doing.

 

Part of our slow starts could be our guys inefficient running of the offense Archie wants to run and opposing teams scouting it well.

 

Had several plays where Romeo and Green didn’t hustle back in transition leading to I believe 3 baskets.

 

Juwan was almost a 1 man band until Romeo got a little offense going towards the end.

 

Fitzner was playing great position on D but doesn’t have the hands or athleticism to make the plays he put himself in position to make.

The heartbreak of "Hanner-hands."

Archie moved Phin off Baldwin and put Smith, Green, and McBob on Baldwin first part of second half.

McDermott started killing us then.

I know Phin ended up back on Baldwin at the end. I thought he did well guarding him last few possessions but Baldwin got where he wanted.

Interesting.

What a game!

Baldwin was 7-19 from the floor with only one free throw - we must've been doing something right against him!

Phin comes back in at 6:30 and gets Baldwin until end and battles.

Good for him. He’s got the same type of inner fight like Morgan.
