I truly hope Kristy is just letting them have it at halftime. This team will either right the ship and go strong again or just lose steam and lay down and die, and they better not do the latter after all they've done this season.

I have it on local tv. First Penn State, then Minnesota, now Purdue is having trouble with the Badgers. If teams aren't careful, Wisconsin will be playing Ohio State for the tournament championship.

Purdue Fans~Three Questions:
1. What exactly is wrong with your team?
2. What positions are the weakest?
3. Has Purdue recruited players to fill those positions?
Purdue was looking strong in the middle of the season, and the last couple of weeks, they've just fizzled. Very odd.

1. I'm not really sure, other than the play of Katie Gearlds and Lindsay Wisdom-Hylton, what is right with this team right now. Erin Lawless and Aya Traore have been invisible. Natasha Bogdanova is a lead killer. There is no senior leadership whatsoever...... And we have absolutely no depth. Jodi Howell needs to get healthy quickly.
2. Weakest position? Point Guard, Power Forward, and the bench.
3. Yes, help is on the way. Amber Harris, Dee Dee Jernigan, and Fahkara Malone are as good a recruiting class as Purdue's ever had.

My blathering thoughts:
1. Energy and offensive movement. This team just is lethargic at times and seem to play down to the 'lesser' opponents. Then they stand around on offense, which leads me to #2.
2. Point guard, by far. Webb has come a long way, but she just is not good about pushing the ball up the floor and setting the team up.
3. We'll see. FahKara Malone should help, but Dee Dee Jernigan may be a key cog next year. We have two AA's coming in next year, and they will be counted on to produce right away. Also, hopefully Cherelle George really kicks it up next year.
PS. boilerjay is absolutely correct with his #2. Our bench has been nothing short of atrocious lately.

| Fahkara Malone may not be as highly regarded as the other two, but I'm probably more excited about her than I am the other two. Not that I'm not excited about the other two, but.... Purdue fans...if you get the chance...check her out in the state finals this weekend. She is electric!

Thanks for the answers everyone.
I'm sorry that your team has had a rough season.
I think all of you have a great future ahead, especially with the recruiting class next year. Is UConn playing Purdue next year? If so, that should be a great game. I look forward to this series.

I wouldn't say we've had a rough season....they are 22-5, but the loss at home against IU really seemed to suck the wind out of their sails, and really pissed the Purdue faithful off.
I'm looking forward to the recruiting class next season, but I sure wish this team would kick it back up a few notches for the rest of this season.

| Rough as in puzzling losses. Not rough, as in they lost 12 games.

1. They are having major confidence issues. Most teams find a stretch where they hit a wall. We are in the midst of a bit one now.
2. Point guard and center. LW-H is playing well at the #5, but we do not have a true catch and shoot post player stepping up right now. The closest thing we have is a talented freshman (Campbell), and she need maturity and strength. We have talent and depth at the #2, 3, and 4.
3. Purdue has not had a center to be really excited about since 2001. We have come in second and third for a number of centers and currently struggle to get post points. We have had good to serviceable point guards in the past, but I worry about our depth and hope they are planning on offering to another in the following class. Malone might be the next great player, but anything from foul trouble to the unmentionable turns good teams to moderate in a hurry.

| Well, Wisconsin has obviously improved some since the beginning of the season as well.
