Boo kept us in the game single-handedly. And Chase struggled for most of the day. But then he stepped and just took over. Defense wins championships. And our defense won it for us tonight. We hung around hung around hung around. And then smoked them the last 4 minutes. What a game. The students and crowd were incredible. 1 and 0. Go Cats.

NU just showed how to defend Purdue. Double the post. Can't defend their center one on one. Purdue is a Boo Buie short of being a Final Four team and is too reliant on one player to win 6 tournament games in a row and I root for all Big Teams OOC. Boo was epic until Audige came to life at fhe end.

It wasn't just doubling the post tho. The change came when Beran/Barnhizer started stepping into Edey's space and putting their hands on the ball as he held it up for Matt to take away from him from behind.

Literally physcially trapping Edey between them worked amazingly. Just doubling him didn't stop him.

Yup. There were four straight possessions where Edey got deep post position, not on a block, but right inside the B1G logo. Each time it was a quick turn and bucket or free throws.


Looks like it happened between 16:10 and 13:37, ending with a NU timeout and the 47-39 deficit.

After that, NU doubled down on ball denial.
