Crowd is loud - Crowd is wild, but too many empties in the upper deck.

[IWB]

Haas is a mountain of a man but MU needs to keep going at him. at the 17:05 mark he requested a breather. Big guy tired already?

Elliott's arms are too long - teams can't try to fire passes past him. I really like that kid.

Halftime Purdue 32-30. Nice comeback by MU, could have tied it up!

Looked like a goal-tend at the end of the half.

[ge1974]

When Haas has the ball down low and he is dribbling towards the basket MU needs another defender to get on him and prevent him from getting closer to the hoop

[ge1974]

Any recruits at the game IWB?

[IWB]

Replay shown here shows he pinned it on backboard, should have been an automatic goaltend.

Game started tonight with the BC off the hook - Thunderstruck playing, students and fans going crazy - it was awesome.

And with what seems to be an MU tradition, 2nd half starts with a quiet BC while 1/2 the fans are still out in the concourse.

Any recruits at the game IWB?

Not on that side but I do not see any. Tough day for in-state kids as it is the second day/night of high school practices.

Henry Ellenson in the house though - was introduced as "first round draft pick by the Detroit Pistons" and gave a nice wave to the crowd.

5:20 to go and both teams have combined for 36 fouls. These refs love their whistles!

[IWB]

Purdue is a really good team, just try to keep it under 10!
