Purdue really did a great job of passing the ball and eventually finding someone for either a wide open shot from the outside or easy bucket underneath. The Gophers were undisciplined and took many bad shots, almost all of which were pretty well contested.
Purdue deserved to win, but I felt the Gophers could have won that game if they worked a little harder as a team rather than a collection of individuals. They need to work to get someone open for a shot instead of trying to do it all on their own. Bobby Knight showed time after time how the Gophers did not show patience into setting up a play and their poor shot selection and shooting percentage reflects that.
I look for a lot more losses this season unless they can start working together. The Gophers just faced two teams in a row that ran clinics on them how 5 teammates beat 5 individuals. We are better than this.....
