Throughout the video IU looks flat footed and disinterested in really competing on defense. When you play against a guy like this, you have to make decisions unless you can deal with his height and strength with one player, which hardly anyone can in the NCAA. Where was the ball pressure on the inside passes? Unfocused. Was consideration given to fronting Edey with a strong help. If you front and they go over the top you have to have someone there while the ball is in the air to cause him trouble. If they skip it, you just do your best to get to the three.
Based on what I see on this film, the score was Painter 100, Woodson 0. If I'm not mistaken IU had won 3 straight in the series. The Purdue guys were done with that and showed it with a focused, directed effort from the start. Purdue is not unbeatable - they've lost to NU and U of N. But you're not beating them with this plan and effort. Next two are at UW and at Illinois. Better be more prepared and ready.
Great video on how to play defense on him. Also agree we have to block out better. I don't know how many times I've seen our players watching the ball instead of blocking out. Defense is effort & we seem disinterested in it.

Thanks Tony. I really enjoy this style of film room, where you narrate over the video clips.
