Castle Newton and Diarra are locking down the perimeter. Cam Spencer is a do it all guy on offense... love how their guards rebound. We'll see how the second half goes.

While I like Hurley's energy, dude needs to stay off of halfway across the floor on timeouts.

Yep. And playing edey one on one. They're losing that battle but pushing the pace to make constantly dumping to edey a losing strategy in the long run due to high possession count.

 

Smart by Hurley imo

Yeah Edey will be gassed by 7 min to go. 

[RaceToTheTop 26,304]

Purdue 3 assists on 13 makes in the first half.  Obviously they are in the game but if the second half goes anything like the first, can't see them winning.

The answer when he was at St Benedicts? This was pretty much every game... not even an outlier

Since he's been at UConn he's had his moments... but tonight is definitely a vintage Dan Hurley performance on the sideline

I really don't care for him talking to Edey on the court... but the fact he did that tells me he is reasonably confident and trying to get his guys pumped up... just how he is

I wish that would happen, but not certain of that.  He's been playing 40 minutes in games in the tourney....although obviously not having to be as active as he's been today.

Defensively he's gotten blocks but I think U Conn has figured out that you don't have to drive at him since he drops off.

What will really be interesting is if Clingan picks and pops out for a 3, which he can make. Edey will have to come out on him leaving the lane open

Doyel is such a clueless dips**t. This is Hurley’s ENTIRE BRAND. I know columnists exist to get people fired up, but it’s rare for them to come off as outright dumb as Doyel does.

Remember the name Earl Calloway?  And how Painter tried talking trash to him during a game and TO.  Coaches should be more grown up but quite honestly the shift in Purdue players’ attitudes after they think they’ve accomplished something this tournament is laughable.

If Doyel doesn't like him, then I love him.

20 mins from reality setting in up in smelly WL. The tall kid will be gone, and pork chop will hand the keys over to the yellow toothed midget. All is well here on Kirkwood

Purdue has to think 'hey, we didn't anything except from two players and we're down 6'.

U Conn can counter with 'hey we got nothing from Karabound and we're up 6.'

Yeah, Dan Hurley acting a fool?  Who would have ever guess that.

[RaceToTheTop 26,304]

Klingan fouling the ball.  Give me a break.

[Hoosierfan1901 6,412]

2nd on Clingan

[Hoosierfan1901 6,412]

Jones went diving for that, pretty good effort

[LamarCheeks 19,555]

Thought that was a charge on Castle -- but not gonna complain. 

[RaceToTheTop 26,304]

Think that U Conn got away with one there.

[Hoosierfan1901 6,412]

Big 3rd foul on Jones, but Idk, it’s close

This could be over in a hurry. The big ten drought is likely to continue
