Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better

No unbeatens left -- Purdue beats Minnesota.

The Gophers came out flat, dug themselves a hole, and could never quite get out. The difference in the game was free throws: Purdue shot about 40 compared to Minnesota's 12.

According to the hometown radio announcers, it wasn't so much poor reffing as Purdue's aggressive driving offense. Shereka Wright, in particular, did a great job of penetrating and drawing contacts.

The really disappointing thing is that due to the Big Ten's unfortunate scheduling system, we don't get to play Purdue on our home floor this year. So we won't get an opportunity for revenge till the postseason.
