Keys to the game

Purdue is statistically even with us - so expect a tight game:

Free throw shooting
Three point defense (a lack here late against Nebraska made the game tight)
Rebounding edge

At the end of the day I think Young is our MVP tonight. His quickness gets him into the paint, and his recent play gets him to the rim sometimes and dish offs to cutters and/or Myles. His D takes them out of their comfort zone. #2 Yebo hits his outside shots and plays good D #3 Myles gets 13 points, 9 rebounds and 7 blocks for a super impressive stat line

Geo Baker. Hit his last two 3's to end the Nebraska game after an abysmal return from injury. Lets hope those two 3's are the impetus to getting him hot again. That would be a huge emotional boost to the team.

Rebounding

I watched the Purdue/Wisconsin game. Purdue took Wisconsin's post up game away by doubling down low and forcing Wisconsin to take mostly long 3 pointers. I would bet they do the same on Myles. Myles needs to find cutters and make good passes. We shouldn't rely on the 3 point shot? If we play super tight defense like we have been doing; we should be limit Purdue to scoring under their average. We just need to score above our average and we win the game.

If we play great defense and rebound like mad dogs and score in the mid 70s, we win the game. We can't let Purdue get hot from the outside so we need to extend the defense beyond the Arc plus keep their center and Trevion away from the paint?

Like to see Ron Harper Jr. Taking over the game +20.
Mathis, Yeboah, Young and Johnson above average game!
Geo , McCaughey and McConnell average game with above average assists. That’s my game plan and I’m sticking to it.

Have a pulse on offense in the first five minutes of the game which has been lacking in the last two home games.Harper and Yeboah must lead the offense and Johnson must stay out of foul trouble.

Btw, who does actually have the keys to the game?

Janitor? Coach Pike?

Hope they remember to bring them.
