Somebody had a nice pocket pass to Theo, who got fouled; I want to say Elliott? Yes, more of those.
Yes, Elliott, and I think he actually had two such plays where he penetrated very deep and laid it off in heavy traffic it a perfect position where the big guys could handle it. Not an easy thing to do but they were beautiful.
If you think for one second that I am comparing the USA to China you have bumped your hard.

Koby completely flipped a switch in the second half. Looked completely over his head in the first half, then leads to victory in the second.

I felt that the improvement on defense wouldn't be enough to overcome the loss of the Hausers on offense, but maybe that isn't the case? Hopefully it isn't.....

Cannot remember the last time defense rather than offense was the major reason we won a game

He used his reach well to get the ball around defenders; looking forward to more of that from the young man.

We win the Big East and get to the second weekend if Greg Elliott is healthy last year.

I am of that mind, too, though there are no guarantees.    Someone described him as a junkyard dog.    Some have said that we are overestimating his impact.   I remember many people arguing he should have been starting AS A FRESHMAN OVER MARKUS or ROWSEY.    At the minimum, down the stretch last year, if Greg were healthy, we would have had a 6'3 combo guard who could play defense.    That would have come in handy.

Now that they've played a few games, how good do you think Purdue will end up being this season? Will this be a strong win for us at the end of the year? Not based on pre-season projections, but what you folks have seen thus far.

Offensively challenged lacking a go-to guy at the moment.  I’ll call a 5-seed

They have pieces.   Someone has to step up and become the alpha.  If that happens, Purdue will be fine.

I think they'll figure it out and make the tourney, but they have serious offensive issues. I'm thinking they'll spend most of the year on the bubble and get in as a double digit seed.

My nits to pick for the game:

Last night was likely due to the fact that they have 7'3" Johnny Bravo roaming the paint...

I was kind of partial to calling him Tall Morrissey.

Koby completely flipped a switch in the second half. Looked completely over his head in the first half, then leads to victory in the second.

I didn't think he looked "completely over his head" at all.

He handled the ball fine, didn't have any turnovers, initiated the offense fine, defended his man well.

He missed some shots, including one horrible looking airball, and he wasn't quite aggressive enough.

The coach who is too stupid to run a grade-school team told him to keep shooting and to be more aggressive, and Koby did much better offensively in the second half while still playing good D.

Players, like teams, always look much better when the ball goes in the net.

Of course, there were Scoopers who decided that he was the worst player in the history of mankind -- or even worse, the next Chartouny -- based on him not hitting shots for the game's first 18 minutes.

Didn't know where else to put this:

Yeah, this is massive. So obviously losing the Hausers was a blow for a team that many thought would be a top-15 team and have Final Four type hopes. But here's the thing. For as good as the Hauser's were offensively, they were a bit of a mess defensively. This year? Marquette looks damn good on defense. That's how it came back against Purdue. They only made 1 more 3 than Purdue for the game and didn't shoot the ball well. That's typically an automatic loss for Marquette. With the addition of McEwen it lets Howard get in different sets. You can run Howard off the ball and off screens that way. You can put him on the ball. I still have questions about the Marquette team, but this should be a top-30 team the entire year.
