With the victory over Maryland last night, Purdue went vintage. They had to. The offense was struggling, but the defense was pretty exceptional.
We did not score a field goal in the final 4 minutes or so, again. But if the defense is going to play like it did down the stretch, then it isn’t as big as a deal, like when everything that could go wrong, did go wrong against Florida State last week.
So, the offensive grades are not great, but we have some pretty good defensive grades for the first time this season.
Starting 5:
Offense: B-
Defense: C
Why: Carsen struggled with his jump shot again and had 3 turnovers.
