Sucks to lose Awaka on this tournament, but giving Estrella and Phillips some more minutes against these types of teams can only play dividends down the road.JP stepped in for Awaka today and really played well. Grabbed a handful of rebounds and drew some fouls. Gotta make FTs though. I like him a lot
I’m not sure the strategy actually isn’t opposite…what’s more likely, Phillips or Estrella can hold their own in the post against the Naismith front runner, or that JJJ can cause him some problems and tire him out much like FDU did against him?Gonna need some huge minutes from Estrella and or Cade Phillips today. Hope awaka can go!
This! I like the combo of Aidoo/JJJ guarding him all game, even if Awaka was healthy. A wildcard option, and one that I'd maybe like to see is giving Mashack a go at him for a few possessionsI’m not sure the strategy actually isn’t opposite…what’s more likely, Phillips or Estrella can hold their own in the post against the Naismith front runner, or that JJJ can cause him some problems and tire him out much like FDU did against him?
Purdue currently ranks 11th in the country shooting the 3 at 42% a gameSerious idea: post JJJ (maybe rotate Mashack) against Edey and have Aidoo as the weakside block/help defender.
Purdue doesn't look like they have the shooters to go 4 out to clear lane for Edey. at least, I didn't see that against Gonzaga.
When the trainer was manually diagnosing him on the sideline, Tobe reached down and touched his outside leg, several inches above the ankle. Obviously this is too much to read from a simple gesture, but where he was indicating with his finger would be the peroneal tendon. But that tendon more usually suffers tendonitis over time rather than sudden injury.Whats the word on Awaka? I know it was his ankle but havent seen anything about the severity or whether or not hes playing tonight.
