I was thinking Bucks need to be up 12 with 8 min left to have a chance. Cautiously optimistic. Purdue is playing hard now, though. Lead is looking shaky.

Had them on the ropes down 14 and let them back in the game.

3 turnovers in 4 possessions and it's down to 8

LFG boys!!!

All gas, no brakes!

Run em out of the damn gym

Great start to the 2nd half. 11 point lead with 18 to go

No one could muster up the strength to make a game thread I see.

Despite giving up tons of 3s to them they limited them from the line and the 2 point area.

Missing a front end of 1 and 1 hurt from Bruce but have the lead but we seen leads go away plenty in big games.

Must win or season all but over can they hang on ? Hard to believe a team with this talent is in this situation they should easily been a tournament team this year especially a year where all the bubble teams keep losing.

Considering how well Purdue has shot from 3 being up 5 at the half is huge.

Another wide open 3 cause our defender just wildly leaves his feet. I know some don't want to admit it but these things are the result of bad coaching

Mobley is on now after a rough looking start

Loyer is a bitch

Ivan with some great D and then an offensive board and dunk back at the other end

Big win today fueled by awesome long range gunning (program record 18 3s), but there were some stretches of mind numbingly stupid play (most notably repeatedly dribbling into turnovers against the press and forcing telegraphed passes into double teams). They are what we think they are, but when they compete on the boards (they did today) and Elsa’s aggressive and not getting hosed with b.s. foul calls, they’re a threat to anyone except the handful of truly elite teams. Kitts was horrific again, and it seems like we’re unlikely to get anything out of her this season as she tries to get back to pre-injury form.

The officiating has been shockingly balanced and fair so far

19-19

19-19 with 8 to go in the 1st half. The shots stopped all falling for Purdue.

Boys are hanging in there. More active on glass on both ends

Cliff Branch for us old timer. Skeets Nehemiah the hurdler too.Branch ran a 10.0 100 meters.

63 mph top speed? Please. What self respecting Bulldog gonna let himself be seen anywhere near that airborne go-kart?

Purdue just draining everything this is gonna get ugly

4 minutes in and Purdue had already gotten 2 wide open 3s and made them both.

Meanwhile Mobley is in chuck everything up mode and missing everything at the other end.

They are a ‘cute’ team they only win whenThornton goes off. Everybody seems fine with it, a winter diversion till spring practice.

Yeah but every practice would've started out with everyone punching him right in the face for being a douchebag.

IF nobody punched McCord in the face for those pregame "dances", then i think he would have be fine!
