Tough few minutes.

Needed to extend the lead.

Refs got involved

[Johnny B]

Jop has been ugly sans George mason yeesh

[willie warrior]

Joplin back to laying bricks

[jesmu84]

Stevie looks limpy

Really, really going to regret not extending lead further

[MuggsyB]

Calls really starting to go only one way. Even got a rare carry call

Fouls have kept them within distance and we can't really get the triple going.

[PGsHeroes32]

Jop is unreal

The guy just cannot go any semblance of a hot streaks. He makes 1 shot. He's gonna miss 3 more wide open ones

This guys is getting absolute GIFTS from Kam

[Elonsmusk]

Sooo wish Jop would have taken a step forward this year. Been a pretty brutal start to his senior year which is unfortunate because it sounds like he put in a lot of hard work again this past summer.

Seems like Purdue won't play that poorly for 40 minutes.  Would love to be up by more than 7 at half

Definitely should be up at least 14.

Hi Woltzak

[Uncle Rico]

All-in-all, terrible half of basketball

Kam didn't force at all and should have significantly more dimes. 

[Daniel]

Jop and Kam with 8 total.  Half two is looking good! Go Marquette!

[jesmu84]

Purdue shot terribly. Turned it over a ton.

Only a 7 point lead.

Yikes

We should be up more, but disagree. They have no answers for our speed & athleticism. We're gonna win this game.

Every time we got up 10 we let them score to stem the tide. Then would go multiple possessions of wide open bricks or a TO

Luckily we never let them get two buckets in a row during that stretch either. But so many chances

I just don't understand Jop. Guy gets wide open looks all night every night and has results like a 5'4 guy with Edey on him

Kam has 3.

7 point lead.

Nice.

[MUEng92]

Kam is only behind the triple double pace on points.  Since he can score 10 points in 45 seconds, it isn't out of the question

[MuggsyB]

Why no DO after that sweet and 1?

It was a good half. Defense was fantastic. It got us a little out of control on offense though.

[GoldenEagles03]

I agree with Raft that Jop is doing good things to get into the lane. Million dollar move, Zero dollar finishing...as they say.

Just gotta finish through contact and knock down some open shots.

[BM1090]

He has in a lot of areas. Just not making shots.

I do feel our defense really has been disruptive and that's more the reason for Purdue's play versus Purdue not playing well.  Stevie is absolutely flying around on D.  Shaka rotating bodies on Smith. 

[MuggsyB]

Jop has to drill that spot 3.  He's wide freaking open.  Knock them down.
