No, Jake, Ohio State won by 2 points.

Yep, that's why I'm dancing.

 

[HenryMuto]

I swear when that 3 left his hand I was 100% convinced it was good totally on line

 

[CookyPuss]

Sideline chick: "What did your team do down the stretch to pull this out?"
Thad: "I don't know. We didn't play well."

Gotta love Thad.

Excellent - Another bout of fingernail extraction tomorrow! Yaaaay.

I closed my eyes. Thought also that it was in. As bad as Ohio State played, Purdue did not deserve to win more than Ohio State.

23/64 from the field, 1/14 from 3, 16/25 from the line

You still have Fingernails?

You know what? Watching this team bumble through games like this all season and now realizing we're sitting at 24 wins tells me that this program is in pretty damn good shape in the grand scheme of things. This is a "down year" by pretty much every measure, and they're still in position to win at least 25 games. We're pretty spoiled with Thad Matta.

Yep, to get to this point, after the legitimate late-season discussion about whether even 20 was attainable, is pretty impressive, even as ugly as many wins have been.

23/64 from the field, 1/14 from 3, 16/25 from the line. And looking like a 5 seed.

FIFY

 

[Jake]

Shooting percentages better top 40% from the floor and 70% from the FT line from here on out. Fortunate to scrap out a win today but the opponents get tougher.

And can we please keep the three point attempts to 9 or less?

 

[Steve19]

Jake, look at their shot chart. I very much hope that the team that blew out Nebby shows up tomorrow. I'd love to see these guys have some fun for a change.
