For nine minutes and 14 seconds last night Purdue ascended to basketball Nirvana and made the statement that it is the best college basketball team in America.

Purdue defense forcing a three and out here. The offense has to do its part.

The Purdue offense fails to take advantage after a turnover. Again. Still only 3 points following turnovers this season.

Take from this what you will, but the cheapest game left tickets-wise for Purdue basketball is at Ohio State. Lots available for under $30 apiece.

I get the joke, but shouldn’t this say Ohio State? Since they are behind.

Purdue gets one first down before punting it away. OSU will take over for their first drive.

A 10 point victory has hardly ever felt worse. Would TKR fix everything we saw tonight? I don’t think so, but he would certainly help.

That block call was hilariously bad. It was 48-44 after that Oakland FT as a result. It’s now 52-44.

Purdue will need to play a much better second half. Ways they can do that? Rebound the basketball and shoot better from three.
