Free Throws: Lacey 0-3, Barber 2-5, Cody Martin 1-2 – The other 3 players were perfect from the line. Last night wasn’t a team free throw shooting problem – it was a Barber/Lacey free throw shooting problem. Those two can’t go 2-8. I also think we didn’t get to line enough with how physical a game it was – need to feed it inside.
The offense will hopefully come along as the season goes on, but I bet Purdue ends up being a very good defensive team at seasons end, so that definitely played a part. As many have said – there are plenty of teaching points from this game.
BTW Perdue shot 39.3%; that’s not bad defense. Now the number of attempts per possession we allowed…
