A DEFENSIVE MASTERPIECE

If you stop Marcus Carr, you stop Minnesota, but it's hard to say that definitively because very few have stopped him.

Purdue did.

You can't say Carr was a non-factor because during stretches early, he controlled the game as a passer, but nevertheless, the All-America candidate was not a factor on the scoreboard. He scored six points, with no points at half and only one field goal out of actual offense.

As notable as anything: He attempted just two free throws.

To slow him down is one thing. To stop him altogether is another. And to stop him without fouling is next level.
