My thoughts as well. They have size to exploit us down low and guards that protect the ball well. We were always going to have to generate turnovers to create some easy points in transition to keep this competitive. We weren't able to create enough in the first half and I'm not hopeful we will in the second half.

Pretty perfect half for Purdue.

💯

Evan still has 2 fouls correct?

I thought so at first as well, but then he maintained the same energy, maybe even increased the vitriol, and walked to the baseline ref to give him a piece of his mind. It was right after we got called for a foul fighting through a screen.

I thought the Zips. But now I’m not sure.

Forever screw them for what they did to Budler.

He was yelling at the refs: You are better than that. A polite way of saying we are getting homered and almost every call has gone against the Zips.

I was wondering where you’ve been.

Was he yelling at the players or the refs? In that same sequence, he was working both officials hard.

Time to burn a red shirt. Give Cody Head a chance.

Is Cody Head ok?

Groce was yelling the guys. Saying we’re better than that. I wonder what that was about?

I'm hoping Barre plays more as the season progresses. These are the types of games we need that size off the bench.

Absolutely no problem with the Zips effort. Groce always gets the kids to play hard.

I think we played as well as we can and we are down 13 points. I just do not know if we can play that well in the 2nd half so prepared to be blown out.

We got 2 foul shots!!! We got 2 foul shots!!! We got 2 foul shots!!!!

13 pt game with this officiating is just fine. Heck of a first half. 39 pts vs the #2 team in the country with a HUGE foul discrepancy.

No Barre or Brisco. Not that I’m surprised.

Zips are playing tough. Awfully hard to battle against a team that's about a half a foot taller you at every position.

I would’ve loved to see how Enrique would do rebounding in this game

#45 literally just ran over MMK from behind and...nothing.

They made up for it. 😊

This is the best Akron team I have seen against a quality opponent. Groce has them ready to play. Only down by 5. I am not sure we can play this well for 40 minutes but really impressed with the ball movement, hustle, and breakouts. Tevari looks like he can play with these guys and Scott has hit some great shots.

Eric quickly calls a timeout and the refs call it a jump ball.
