    I’m going to listen to this podcast as many times as Purdue set a Moving Screen ™ and it went uncalled

    You’ll finish right around the time that Michigan’s first round game tips off.

    They just have to play on both ends with intensity. They have to know they will get the opponent’s best shot keep the foot on the pedal. You know you are the hunted please play like it.

    I was reading through this and found some of this pretty interesting:

    While there were undoubtedly quite a few moving screens from Purdue – hip checks, chicken wings, leaning, etc. – I also found 35.6 interesting. That ended up being the way Yax and some others tried to fight through those screens, and none of that was called, either.

    Also, today I learned you can’t set two side-by-side screens parallel with a boundary line unless you’re more than 6 feet away. :man_shrugging:
