He spends a lot of time thinking about IU... Sounds more like he has some sort of kindergarten school yard crush.

So what should our gameplan be? Play small on purpose and think that we can outrun/shoot them, or try to match up with their bigs as much as possible? Or a little of both? Not having Hanner could hurt us big time in this one.

as far as strategy goes.  we need to do what we do and hope Purdue is forced to match us.  We will likely know by 10 minutes in which strategy is working best.  If we are getting hurt inside, Crean will have to go bigger to match. 

 

Otherwise, we will try to limit touches to the big guys by fronting them.  Hartman has been surprisingly good at limiting big man touches.  Now, when they get it though, that's another story. 

 

Rebounding and defense will be huge.  3 point shooting is our chance.  Hopefully we have a speed advantage too.
