OFFENSIVE LIMITATIONS SURFACE AGAIN
Purdue is short on playmakers — and certainly experienced playmakers — in its backcourt, which has limited it all season at the offensive end.
But in games like this, while having a more dynamic element, and more scoring punch, in the backcourt would sure be nice, that wasn't the problem Tuesday night. Purdue's Inability to be strong with the ball in the face of pressure, that was much more the problem.
Purdue couldn't possibly have come into this game naive to the damage turnovers would self-Inflict, nor could it have possibly been unaware Rutgers would guard with abandon.
