Purdue oddity.

During the regular season, they played two overtime games. Both against Northwestern. They won one and lost one.

So if we can get them to OT, our chances are 50/50.

The real question is, what was NW's strategy? I'm sure the coaches have been replaying those tapes. Also helps that we played NW. Nice confidence boost that since we can beat them, we can beat Purdue.

#1 Boo Bouie killed Purdue. Purdue has trouble containing active guards
#2 turnovers - when Purdue has double digit turnovers and then run outs- they really struggle

Wow Pal, that's some deep observation stuff there!

If we keep it out of OT, our odds are much better.

We pressure their guards 75 feet. Run them ragged.

Since the money line seems to suggest UConn has about a 70% chance to win the game, I'd much rather take the 70% chance in regulation than the 50% chance in OT.

You and your math.

Honestly, Purdue is probably telling themselves "they've never had to make a play at the end of a game to win it, we just have to keep this close," ignoring that we do, in fact, have guys who have done it.

Here’s a silver lining the favorites South Carolina win the women’s tournament in a game that Caitlyn Clark went off from the beginning of the game. Doomed
