Appeared to be the knee

OSU just got saved from a fumble. Not that it matters because they throw an interception as I am typing this.

Gonzaga looked pretty clueless on offense. Definitely not what I expected from a team that is typically well coached. Give credit to Purdue though they did well on defense. Clearly Gonzaga is not a team that can beat you by just chucking up 3’s all game long.

Gonzaga shooting 29% from 3 and looking extremely mediocre overall

Yeah he had a couple of bad misses tonight. Interestingly he was 8-10 from FT prior to tonight. (Just 1-6 tonight)

Full game stats with +/-

Jordan was better playing without having his hands draped on the guy he was defending tonight. That and falling for pump fakes are his two biggest issues on the defensive end. Improve those two things and we won't have to worry about him being in foul trouble after 5-10 minutes of action.

We talk about guys like JG, Tamar, and Gallo providing a spark off the bench, but it would be nice if we didn't need that spark and the starters played with the intensity necessary every time.

Exactly why I went with XJ. Not to discredit Race; he stepped up when he needed to. XJ was great at getting the ball where it needed to be and wasn't selfish.

He is racking up the assists tonight

Yeah took an elbow to the side of the head. Saw some blood on the towel but didn’t get to actually see his face.

We may have to hold some tryouts to field a team for Friday at this rate.

Our most difficult non conference games might be the Arizona game. Kansas doesn’t look great right now and UNC hasn't looked impressive this season yet either.

@bluegrassIU Are we doing a prediction thread for this game?

It was free to view yesterday

He definitely seems a lot more decisive in his moves

Very fair point haha. But yeah I would just like to see us try it a few times. I do agree we need to add something to our offense. All the points made up above I agree with. Whatever wrinkle that may be I'm okay with.

Outside of Jay Wright at Villanova and the Maldonado kid at Wyoming, you rarely see guards posting up. I think JHS is certainly capable of doing that given his size and skillset. Good call on that and I'd love to see if we ever add that at some point this season.

Dude looks like a man on a mission right now. He’s showing great leadership and maturity and you can definitely tell he’s polished his skills in the off season. It was interesting to hear tonight that he worked as a guard this summer in his workouts.

Post game media from tonight: Btw, Race challenged Miller to use the word “chicken” in the post game interview and Tamar was tasked with using “banana”
