And now, in this episode of Archie Miller and Matt Painter Fit Themselves For Straitjackets ...
This: Indiana 89, No. 21 Iowa 77.
The Hoosiers, last seen failing to hit water as they fell out of the boat, made 11-of-21 from their Kryptonite 3-point line, or a baffling 52.4 percent. Devonte Green, last seen shooting A) 2-for-11 or B) 10-for-15, led the way by hitting 7-of-11 from the behind arc and scoring 27 points to lead the Hoosiers, who had lost four straight coming in and looked like a team headed for five, six or seven straight.
They outrebounded Iowa 39-28. Harried the Hawkeyes into 4-of-14 shooting from three. Forced 18 turnovers. Looked like the 16-8 team they are now, instead of, I don't know, an 8-16 team.
So what's that tell you about the immediate future?
Thaaaat's right. If the harmonic convergence holds, it means Matt Painter's Purdue team will go to Columbus and take down Ohio State tomorrow, having just laid that enormous egg at home against Penn State. And Miller's Hoosiers?
Re-energized by their invigorating win, they'll go up to Ann Arbor and get run out of the joint by Michigan.
Because that's just how these Boilers and Hoosiers roll, apparently.
