Refs been solid most of game but realized they arent the main character and starting to call some bs on WI.

[MikeIsGood]

Rough shooting but I'll of course take it. Nice of them to not call the travel on Blackwell's dagger at the end.

[jschligs]

This team is good. Even on off shooting nights. And knowing Tonje will make 90% of FTs is comforting.

[midranger]

Nice response to a couple rough calls in the second half, including that goal tend on winter. Really closed out the game well

[ReasonablySober]

There a reason they're not playing for another week? Not sure if that's a good or bad thing for Purdue.

Probably just a quirk in the schedule that I'm guessing every team has. As far as whether its good, the only thing I'll note is that all of their losses occurred on either 3 or 4 days rest. When they've had 5+ days off, they're undefeated. That said, even though Arizona is one of those games @ Purdue is still without a doubt more difficult than any of the previous 5.

I think they will benefit with the time off. Gard is good when he has time to game plan for a specific opponent. I still remember the game against Syracuse where he destroyed their zone by having the offense run through Hayes at the elbow. He had 10 assists that game.

[skbucks1985]

I think they match up better with Purdue than they have in previous seasons just because Purdue doesn't have a giant who they run their offense and defense through but schematically still play like that with a 6'9 player assuming that role, albeit a very good 6'9 player.

But if they win, then we start having a different set of conversations. The Big Ten title is winnable, I don't think a 1 seed is attainable, but I think a 2 seed is and depending on how things shake out, a 2-seed in Milwaukee is probably more likely than not

Blackwell has been terrible in the early going.

[Turk Nowitzki]

Playing tight and throwing up some crap threes as our only offense. That's not going to get it done today.

[RubberSoul]

What an absurd call.

Ejection? GTFO

[MikeIsGood]

That is a super weak ejection. Ref got hit in the nuts too many times and has a vendetta now.

[ReasonablySober]

That’s one of the worst calls I’ve ever seen.

[tski1972]

Absolutely ridiculous

[RubberSoul]

No idea how Gard kept his cool Id have lost my **** and got ejected too.

Should have been a moving screen if anything

[MikeIsGood]

I am so here for a Tanje heater.

[ReddoverKobe]

I saw the ejection play at half. Honestly cant remember a worse ejection call.

[jute2003]

Is Purdue missing anyone? Everything looks better when the 3s are falling but UW is outclassing them pretty easily right now.
