Maybe the very idea of this column is premature. Last season I thought there were three different “turning points” where the season would take off because of a major event:
· When Sasha Stefanovic hit a three to send the Minnesota game to overtime, where Purdue eventually won in double OT.
· When Sasha hit the game-winning three late at Northwestern
· When Purdue grabbed its first double-digit win in Assembly Hall since 2011 and only second such win since 1977, taking a big wet dump on Bob Knight Day in the process.
In two of those cases Purdue lost its next game.
