They have no answer for Turner. They even took Kramer off of him lol, I love it.

So much more energy tonight on both ends of the floor. This is the frustrating part of having a young team. When you see them play good team basketball like they have this first half and they run the floor the way they are, the other times are very frustrating.

Still weak on the inside there. I'd like to see Lauderdale with the hard foul once in a while and take away that easy basket.

 

[keeganbrick]

I have been waiting to see Turner run the point all year. He can jus see so much more of the floor than Simmons and you have to play off of him or else he will blow by you. If he is this effective against Purdue, he should only be better against any other team.

 

[bucknutz]

I thought they looked a lot better with PJ out on the floor. Didn't like the out-of-control shot by simmons on the last possession.

assist from turner to BJ, he keeps it up and could be on his way to a tripple double.

Purdon't answers with a 3

23-23

 

[bucknutz]

turner has 9 points 5 boards and 2 assists off the top of my head with 6 min's left in the first half.

BJ 5-5 with 10 points

That 35' alley-oop from PJ to BJ was nasty. Candidate for a top 10 play. I like having ET bringing the ball up the floor, but it seems a strange time to do it since PJ and Simmons have been playing much better of late.

 

[Best Buckeye]

the Bucks were showing a lot of poise before that last sequence. looking good compared to the start of the season.

 

[bucknutz]

end of half

29-32 Purdon't

 

[generaladm]

1st half ends PU 32, OSU 29. Bad luck at the end of the half. OSU turnover after a player slips, bad pass after PU made basket.

 

[Best Buckeye]

I really like the way the Bucks are playing so far , very much in control of their game.

 

[generaladm]

Purdue opens with a 3. Diebler answers on other end. Mullens block. Diebler nice feed inside, cleaned up by Mullens. ET hits two FTs. UP gets 2 FTs of their own. Teams trading baskets, Buford and Mullens on back to back trips.

i'm not sure we can win a toe-to-toe game down to the wire with a team of this caliber. i'm looking for the bucks to go on a run to give us some breathing room. games like this seem to have the ability of getting out of hand in the blink of an eye.
