iubb and Purdue will see each other again, if we’re lucky, writes GreggDoyelStar.
That’s what this victory means. Well, that’s what it means to anybody watching this team, this crimson-and-cream surge — 10 wins in its past 13 games — from the outside. That’s not what it means to Woodson, though.
Especially with Hood-Schifino controlling the action, the pace, like he’s playing chess and everyone on the court — all those kings and knights and moving castles — is but a pawn. Maybe you’re wondering, what’s with all the Grace Berger talk? Well, she plays the same position for the IU women’s team — point guard — that Hood-Schifino plays for the IU men. Both are overshadowed by a dominant post player, Mackenzie Holmes for Teri Moren’s IU women and Jackson-Davis for the men, but both are integral parts of teams that could be playing into early April.
In one section of the lower bowl, nearest the tunnel leading from the court to the locker rooms, are the Purdue families. It’s quiet over there, like they’re in mourning. Which, at this moment, they could be. Not sure if it’s an overreaction or not to wonder what will become of these Boilermakers, who have gone from the clear No. 1 overall seed in the 2023 NCAA tournament a few weeks ago to a team that has lost four of its past six games.
Afterward their family section is giggling and giddy, waiting for players to come out of the locker room. Parents are hugging everyone — their son, someone else’s son — as the IU basketball family relishes something Mike Woodson has known for almost 30 years: You don’t just come into Mackey Arena and win. Not often anyway.
