IUBB vs Purdue: 2/25 @7:30 on FOX

[Home Jersey]

Not to be that guy, but, .... we kind of overcame the officiating last night and still won somewhat comfortably. 

That foul disparity was no joke. The free throw shooting disparity was no joke. 

Obviously an IU win didn't fit the B10's ideal narrative... and we still punched them in the mouth and got a win

Also, sweeping the Toiletmakers any year, regardless, is good.

By the way Indiana guaranteed shutting me up about not having a winning conference record in 6 years.  Nice job Hoosiers

Just imagine what we could do IF we ever had a game we didn't need to overcome the officiating?!

No one on that bench (besides Hulls) had won at Purdue. 

That Win meant just as much to Woody as it did the players. He finally got one.

So if you had these stats before tip-off yesterday how confident would you be in a relatively comfortable IU win?

IU outrebounded 46-30.

PU FT advantage 33-12

TJD scoreless in the first half, finishes with 10pts.

IU has 2 bench points. 

I'd have guessed a 20 pt loss, easily!

Before the game I posted I thought PU would kill us on the boards and probably at the charity stripe.
 

I then said I thought if we ended up between 2-5 points of PU that it would be an impressive showing in their house.

One out of two aint bad, right - hahaha :)

And the whining from the Purdue bench every time they did get called gets old quick

JHS is gone. At worst he's a first round pick but could easily see him in the lottery.

Probably but not necessarily. He absolutely is a first rounder but he’s not a lottery guy (at this point).
Kind of like Cody’s frosh season - he came back despite a clear 1st round pick bc he could better his game and draft position (and he wanted to see what IU could do if he came back). 
Jalen has the benefit of Woodson’s direct feedback about his chances / likely playing time etc if he goes. That’s invaluable. He’ll test waters and get the pro feedback and then he’ll be able to work through it with Woodson’s NBA coaching exp and connections.
On top of that, unlike Cody etc, he’ll have good NIL money if he stays.

I personally think, bc of his several games of off play, the inconsistency, another year would do well to prepare him for the NBA grind and talent level. He has the game, but he can grow it to improve his position and with that a good chance to lengthen his NBA career.

If he goes though that will likely reflect he got strong feedback from both the NBA guys and Woodson.

Just wait until the tournament and we get stuck with a B1G crew.

Let’s take care of business against Iowa. Then somehow by some crazy break in the universe Northwestern will be the only team Woodson hasn’t beaten. 

I hope we can just beat the holy hell outta Iowa. Fran is a nutcase and I think he's been one so often for so long that the league just says..
that's Fran and that's how he is so it must be accepted.

So pretty sure we are the only team to have topped 75 points on Purdue and we have now done it twice.

That's one of the first things I looked for in the box score. The disparity is ridiculous and the league has to notice. They can't be that blind.

Gallo can simply not dance the only mark off in my book he gets.

I have no idea what they were saying, but I love it!

Correct you are.  They gave up 73 in a win over Iowa and allowed 70 points in 3 or 4 games.

To be fair…I’m not sure there is a fan base that complains or flat out blames the officials more than the Indiana fan base. Lol.

We’ve had those games.  But they are always at home…..because Big Ten.    We had a friendly whistle against Michigan State in Bloomington although I don’t think that was the difference in the game.
