Sorry I am just seeing this. Can you believe this guy used this as a comeback? Incredible on so many levels.
Man, this thread has had a lot of traffic over the last 12 hours, was there a game last night?
It was that kind of night. The walkon kid at the end of the bench that everyone was yelling shoot everytime he touched the ball drained a fadeaway corner three and then made another three from 30 feet.
At least you have a nice recovery game against Nebraska coming up.
I don't get Purdue. They swing wildly in performance between Final Four team and mid-major .500 team on a nightly basis.
Pretty crazy. They have beaten three top 25 teams by the biggest margin of victory in the history of their program. Beat MSU by 29, beat then #5 Virginia by 29 and now Iowa by 36.
It was a bad combination of terrible defense and a team that couldn't miss.
Is there a point where getting your *** whooped that bad becomes a good thing? A nice little reminder you aren't good enough to not bring your "A" game every night?
Their statlines last night are actually asinine. It's not like 1 guy went off, 5 guys had 10+ points and 2 more had 9. They had more assists than Iowa had made baskets. They had a ton of rebounds even when shooting at a very high percentage. They sustained that percentage over 65 shots!
I'm not sure you can ask for much more than that in a game, my goodness. Talk about putting it all together.
Apparently Purdue felt the same way.
I thought ESPN was crazy when their BPI gave Iowa a, like, 70% chance of losing pregame. Boy was I wrong.
