10-17 from the 3pt line...geez loueez!!  Hope they're worn out for us.

50-31 the Boilers with 2:37 in first half.

Purdue is shooting well, but Iowa's defense is basically non-existent...

Even the bald cat is having a career day...

Love how we have fans freaking out and worried about a home game against a 13-10 team. God this program has fallen so far. 

We’ll win Saturday.  This type of stuff happens on the road.  MD had us down by 30 and we had them beat in the Hall before the choke job.

We're on a three game losing streak and folks are remembering last season.  There's room for concern, IMO.  Not sure I'd call it freaking out.  😊

They won’t be intimidated after that performance!

We are talking about the same PU team who had to go on a 11-0 run in the last 3 minutes in there last game to beat the last place team.  They have played well for the most part at home and shot very well but when they go on the road they have not played well.

Must-win game AFAIC. Can't afford to go to 4 game losing streak at this juncture (if at all) at home against biggest rival, who's struggled tremendously on the road. The psychological consequences of a loss here could well signal another late season slide of last year's proportions. Win or lose, ANYTHING less than 40 minutes of focus and intensity is a really bad sign. Conversely, a win is huge and the momentum could propel us to the level of performance we need down the stretch to ensure a spot in the big dance.

One of the strange things about this series is since 2000 this game has only been played twice with both teams ranked. One other stat I always found funny. Mike Davis with a 10-3 dominating record over Keady/Painter. So funny that the least heralded coach in IU history (I don't count Dakich) has the best record vs Purdue.

Very strange. Yeah those were some bad Purdue teams those last few years of Keady’s tenure. Recruiting had fallen off a cliff.

Could not believe it when I turned the game on it was 48-25.  I hope they get this 3 point shooting out of their system and shoot like they normally do on the road Saturday.

Don't know how much of the game you watched but Iowa got punked on both ends...Garza was the only one that tried to match Purdue's physical play.

Iowa didn't play defense at all...

The lesson is, don't worry about Garza getting his, just don't let Fredrick and Wieskamp kill you...and they don't like physical play...

We understand that....those first 5 losses  of Crean's tenure (while they count as losses) was almost a joke. Purdue has some of their best teams every and we were returning 2 minutes per game. Not 2 points 2 minutes.

Yep some of those stats are skewed by both teams having some truly awful years mixed into the equation.
