We’ve had a couple days to cool off, so I hope the sky is no longer falling on Purdue basketball. We can agree Monday was bad. I did not expect to lose a game in Mackey Arena this season. Unfortunately, that happened. Purdue played a terrible game overall. It got lulled into an offensive trap and completely abandoned any offensive gameplan other than “Go to the bigs at the basket” in the final 10 minutes, attempting just one three-pointer in that span (the heave at the buzzer by Hunter). Defensively, Purdue was also bad, giving up 37 points to one player.
