Sad train noises.
2015
The year the last time when Coach Painter received a technical foul. It doesn’t happen often at all, and when it does you know he really disagrees with something. Fouls were called happily in Happy Valley last night, but there were some misses that were terrible as well.
Penn State took the “foul every possession” approach and it panned out, as their lead continued to grow minute after minute. The backups came in, played hard and Purdue only lost by 11, I believe the lead ballooned to 27 at one point in the second half.

The number of turnovers Purdue had last night. This number is tied for the most turnovers any Matt Painter Coached team has ever had at Purdue. Needless to say, when Braden Smith gets in foul trouble, we will struggle against a press.

The amount of shots made Cam Heide has scored over the course of the last two games. He has had two total points in that span, both from free throws. Before the previous two games, it seemed like he was finding his groove and role in the offense, as he scored 15 points against NC State and 13 against Marshall.
