That was a pretty brutal four minute stretch wasn’t it? Purdue went from hanging in there with the #1 team in the country to down by double digits with the game for all intents and purposes over. It was a tough scene to watch as Michigan grabbed offensive rebound after offensive rebound. On two early possessions in the first half Michigan grabbed two offensive rebounds, meaning they get three shot attempts, before ultimately both possessions ended in made three pointers for the Wolverines. Those possessions are backbreaking for a team trying to take down an incredibly talented team. You can’t give them EXTRA opportunities to put points on the board.
I discuss this loss to Michigan and what it means for the team overall and the remainder of not just the conference season but the post-season as well. Do I think Purdue still has a shot to get to the Final Four in Indianapolis? You’ll have to listen to find out.
