Amazing defensive effort

Purdue scored its last 3 pt FG with 9:23 left in the first half. The rest of the way, the Boilers scored 32 points in 33:28, less than a point a minute. The decisions and awareness by every Cat on the floor on the defensive end seemed damned near perfect for this stretch of time.
The second half, out scoring the No. 1 team 34-21 may be the best half of basketball a Cats’ team has ever played, though the first half against the Magic Johnson team would rank up there, too. I would give this one the edge, as they were playing for a good tournament berth this time.

Purdue had six turnovers and two field goal attempts after the under-four. Holy jeez.

NU’s last turnover was at 5:31 remaining.

11 total steals with six guys scratching in the category. And Boo got credited with three of NU’s four blocks.
