Needed: the perfect game

We have commented before that because of certain deficiencies this team has a relatively small margin for error, but that they have done a magnificent job of overcoming those deficiencies in order to win games. Perhaps more than ever before, we will have to play a near-perfect game in order to defeat Purdue. It can be done. We are not a 20-point underdog - more like 10 points. The experts are not predicting a blow-out.

Turnovers will have to be low. We will have to shoot a high percentage. We cannot let the rebounding margin be too large against us. We have to limit their shots and contest the ones they do take. Just fundamental Trojan basketball. But we cannot have an "off" night. Not this time around. No wiggle room here.
