Title: Keys to a win vs Purdue Post by: Volznut on March 25, 2019, 09:42:35 EDT 1 - Grant and Admiral need to stay out of foul trouble - we just don't have good enough replacement bigs.
2 - Defend like we did 1st half vs Iowa. Lamonte has a big task guarding Edwards 3 - If we get a big lead, don't slow it down. Keep pushing, run our offense. Our offense is terrible when we slow it down and telegraph passes- leads to turnovers. Don't get me wrong, Barnes is a great coach, but this is one criticism I had of Barnes in both our tournament games so far. 4 - Hit free throws (we usually do this well) Title: Re: Keys to a win vs Purdue Post by: BanditVol on March 25, 2019, 10:42:07 EDT 1 - Grant and Admiral need to stay out of foul trouble - we just don't have good enough replacement bigs. 2 - Defend like we did 1st half vs Iowa.

Purdue depends on Edwards for scoring. |
