It was not a great lineup for offense - particularly with Taylor. But that was the group that made the 1-3-1 work. We did bring Gill in at the end to help on O.

Guy holding Roby kept us from getting into the play we had called.

OMG HOW CAN THAT NOT BE OUR BALL !!!!!!

Did he not hit the rim with that shot - no new clock?

Problem with the 1-3-1 is we can't rebound out of it. But it has got us back in the game because they can't figure it out.

Think Palmer thought Gill was going to get it and vice versa. Not an excuse though.

Can'tbelieve they actually called Watkins for going over the back.

Announcer says you can do that if you don't make contact - while the replay runs showing the guy laying on Roby's back.

Think maybe someone needs to hit Matt Haarms somewhere other than in the balls.

That was not a shooting foul either. Guy had not even thought about taking a shot until after the contact by Palmer.

I would agree that should not have been a shooting foul.

How long until they call the 5th on Duby?

Can't believe they FINALLY called a travel on Haarms.

How was that not a foul on Haas?? This is ridiculous.

Just refused to call a foul on Haas on that play. Should have been his 3rd.

Boy did they blow that out of bounds call. Of course should have been a foul on Mathias way before then also

Think I counted three obvious travels by Purdue in that long possession

Like vs. Northwestern they are really allowing defenders to get away with a lot of contact this game. Wonder if that is going to be a pattern in conference games this year?

Don't like being this passive with so much time left. But huge shot by Palmer.

Wow Watson had that board if Roby had not knocked it away.

Good foul by Borchardt. That is what we need our bigs to do - use all 15 fouls.

Obvious foul by Tanner - in a game called normally anyway. But maybe better than letting Pardon have the ball down low.

Palmer's "clear out" was a lot like the ones that are called often on Watson. He beats the guy and gets them chasing and then reverses direction. The defender is moving away so if there is any contact it looks like a push off - but often Watson gets called for that when he really doesn't push off. In Palmer's case the contact was all initiated by the defender pushing him sideways - he just tried to hold the guy off which you have to let him do if you are going to let the defender make that much contact with his body.

Wow - what a shot by Gill. Lucky but I'll take it.

Horrible call on Palmer. If they are going to let the defense play like that you can't make that call on the offensive player.
