VJ cold as ice and Brey says - hey it is crunch time, let's iso VJ! Never understood Brey's inability to acknowledge a COLD hand. Bonzi, Farrell and Steve should have been well ahead of VJ with a focus on working as a team to get an open shot. No sweat on VJ for having an off day - happens. Just cannot fathom shoving 12 shots through him when others were getting it done.

Thought we looked the better team but went cold late. We will beat a lot of good teams this year for sure. We shot under 30% from three on the day and should have won - we will flat out destroy folks when we shoot 40% and up behind the arc.

We moved up to #21. About what I expected. I think we would have been top 8 with a win.

It actually happened in 1986. Before the season, Holtz's first ND team was unranked We lost a close one to Michigan in the first game and then were subsequently ranked.

We need to win the first 4+ minutes until the first media timeout. Don't need a repeat of last week.

They have 1 guy that is worth a shit on offense so lets leave him wide open under the basket. Great game plan, Brey

Yeah we're not very good

They lack size... They just get killed on offensive glass at times...Very frustrating

Nice FT advantage for Purdue. Turning into a big problem for this team. Been outscored in the 2nd half in 4/5 games vs. P5 teams.

Are we unable to recruit bigs or something?

Recruiting big men for Brey is very similar to recruiting pass rushers for Kelly.

Not very many 6'10+ guys who can ball their brains out and the one's that can are at Kentucky, Kansas, UCLA, North Carolina, Duke, etc.

Well over these last 2 games we learned that we can play with almost any team in the country....... just not beat them.

Tough loss for the Irish, but I thought they played well. Got destroyed inside the entire second half by some talented players. VJ was non-existent in the second half.
