Purdue Iona Thoughts

[Kefalonitis]

Line is pretty much a PK and what I expected. Don't think anybody has a real good feeling. My concern is can Hummel play back to back coming back from ACL. He hasn't been practicing back to back days which makes me wonder. If I knew Hummel was healthy I'd probably back Purdue since he is the best player on the court - plus they shoot the 3 extremely well. Can Temple's defense stop that? Very well could.

Any thoughts?

May want to revise your thread title to Purdue Temple Thoughts

Temple's D is vastly superior to Iona's looking the game total line will tell you that.
Hummel yesterday looked rusty in the beginning than came on huge a little later as the game progressed.
I suspect the fatigue may be a slight factor with him but fact is in terms of college basketball he is a smart veteran player that seems to always rise to the occasion.
Think he may start out rusty again but will hit clutch shots once he gets into the flow of the game and have a good game.
Fatigue is overrated, playing a game 24 hours later should not have any affect on these guys.

I lean toward Temple in this game but that has nothing to do with Hummel.
