A moment of silence at Mackey Arena tonight in remembrance of legendary Indiana coach Bob Knight, who passed away at the age of 83. Nice gesture by Purdue.

Matt Haarms understands the Purdue-IU rivalry. About Bob Knight appearing at halftime and what to expect to start the second half: "We knew it was important. We had Coach Keady sitting behind our bench. That's the guy I care about. ... He's with us in the locker room."

Like all Americans, I love a great conspiracy theory. But the reason Purdue doesn't foul as much as other opponents is because it plays fundamental D and — most importantly — has a 7-4 center. If I was an opponent, I wouldn't drive the lane either, out of fear of being swatted.

If that game is called "fairly" as many seem to want, then Northwestern would have been called for 100 fouls. Chris Collins even admits that's his strategy (which is his only choice, given his personnel) but then gets upset that the officials don't help him out enough.

So tired of the “free throw discrepancy” narrative around Purdue. Fans that watch them once/twice a year don’t want Zach Edey to shoot any free throws and those that understand the rules of basketball and watch Purdue all the time know he should probably shoot 40 FT’s per game.
