28 December 1992 -- El Paso Texas

FINAL SCORE : PURDUE - 67  FLORIDA - 63

In a game that was every bit as close as the score indicates, the Boilers
extracted a small bit of revenge over Lon Kruger and the Florida Gators for
last years loss in the NIT.  The game did not end until after 1:00 am EST so I
won't be able to get the box score, but I will do my best.

For the second game in a row, the Boilers came out cold on offense, but played
tough D to remain in the game.  Florida using hacking and whacking defense
trade marked of Lon Kruger coached teams, gave Purdue fits for the entire game.Purdue fell behind the Gators by a score of 34-20 with a little under four
minutes to go in the half and seemed to be reeling for the KO, but Porter
Roberts stepped up and keyed a 15-0 run for the Boilers with 3 treys to give
the Boilers the lead at 35-34 with about 24 seconds to go in the half.
Florida was able to regain the lead at half by hitting the last shot for a
36-35 lead at the break.  Purdue continued hot in the second half by opening upa 50-42 lead to outscore Florida 30-8 during the run.  The lead eventually
went up to 10 (I think) before Florida made its last run.  They closed the gap
to 2 at 65-63 with about 25 seconds to go due mainly to Purdue's inability to
hit their free throws down the stretch.  At one point Robinson was only 2-8.
Stacey Poole then missed two shots that would have tied the game and Robinson
got the rebound and converted both free throws for the final margin of victory.
It was good a game for the Boilers to up their record to 7-0 for their best
start since 1986-87.  The 30-8 run was the best Purdue has looked this season,
as almost all the points came on transition baskets off of great defense.
Robinson seemed to get back on track with 18 points and 13 boards.  Roberts
continues to improve and impress.  'Zo came back down to earth with 4 turnoversbut still held Poole to only 4 points (although he was just getting over the
flu).

Stats from memory ( so bear with me ) :
Robinson 18 points  13 boards
Martin   11 points  4 assists
Painter   9 points
Roberts   9 points
Stanback  9 points
Waddell   6 points

Thats as close as its going to get.

Purdue plays UTEP tonight at 11:00 pm EST in the Championship game followed by
Butler on Saturday before the Big Ten starts on the 7th against Michigan.

I am going to be out until the 4th so I will have updates for the next two
games, but probably not the box scores.

later,

{ Well, Eric, it appears that BYU will get the opportunity to learn these
{ skills at the hand of Duke.  Meanwhile, U of U got their opportunity last
{ night at the hands of Utah State.  Seems like the Utes have a little ways
{ to go before they can be expected to match BYU's level of play, doesn't it.

I NEVER said that Utah was a good team this year.  Ask Curtis, I don't even
vote for them in the poll.  BYU is THE team this year in the WAC and I have
said so repeatedly.  Utah will stuggle this year against teams that they 
should have a good shot beating.  I'm damn glad we don't play Weber ST. this
year, I know they  would kick our butts like last year.

The Utes have a double personality.  They either play well (i.e. the 1st 1/2
of the AZ game and the Texas game ) or they play like crap - Utah State, etc.
Josh Grant is a good player, but not a great player.  If he wakes up out of
his coma he can dominate a game, but now he appears to be asleep.  We need to 
get his wife to kick his ass.  Rumor has it that prior to the 1st Utah-Utah ST
game this year, she told him that he needed to be more aggressive and take the 
ball to the hoop.  Maybe she can be an assistant for the Maji?

Louisville lost its second straight game to the ACC, and is putting up 
un-impressive numbers against the best conferences (0-2 vs SEC, 0-2 vs ACC).

It was basically a brick-laying affair in the backcourt; James Brewer and
Keith LeGree hit a combined 0-12 from the field.  The only bright spot was
the excellent play of Greg Minor in the first half, who scored 17pts.  UofL
went 4-16 from 3-pt range, and were down by as much as 14 in the second half.

Louisville is now an abysmal 2-4 to start the season, reminding me of the
year-before-last when the Cardinals failed to have a winning season for the
first time since WWII.  Obviously, the two close losses against Vandy and
Georgia Tech have taken a toll on the team's confidence; it was obvious that
once they were down by 10, it was over.

Looking ahead: Most optimistic fans will say "Crum's getting them ready for
the post-season," but all Denver fans know Seattle put them out of the
playoffs, not the Chiefs.  One would expect a strong Louisville team to romp
through this weak Metro Conference, but it looks like it's going to be much
more challenging for this team.

A frustrated fan,
Mike

Say, isn't BYU the same team that lost to Duke in the Maui Tournament

tournaments in less than one week.

Just to be sure, when was the Far West Tournament held?

	I'm not sure that this hasn't been changed in the recent "reforms" but
a very few years ago all games outside the contiguous 48 states (i.e. in Alaska,
Hawaii and Puerto Rico) were not counted toward the limit of regular season
games played.  However, I believe recently that teams were restricted to one
such trip every four years (I suppose teams in the same conference as, for in-
stance, Hawaii, are excluded; or perhaps only one such trip where the games do
not count against the limit is allowed.  That is, if you took a second trip to
Hawaii in four years those games *would* count toward the limit of regular
season games).

I don't mind a little hometown tunnel-vision now and then.  Everyone's 
guilty of it.  But let me set the record straight.  UW-Platteville did not 
go undefeated last year.  They lost in the national semifinal to Rochester 
University, which then lost in the championship game to my employer:  Calvin 
College.  Platteville, which has a very fine hoops program indeed, finished 
the year at 27-4 (or 28-4), an outstanding record, but well behind Calvin's 
season-ending 31-1 mark, which, BTW, is the second-best in the history of 
NCAA III hoops.  Another note:  Calvin is 92-9 since the arrival of senior 
player of the year candidate Steve Honderd on campus--the best record of any 
NCAA III school over that time.  Calvin is 8-1 this year with its lone loss 
being a 107-103 setback to NAIA power Oklahoma City, which feature two NCAA 
I transfers in the starting five.

As far as the NCAA III vs NCAA I comaparsion, I doubt it.  A couple of years 
ago, Calvin had a pretty good team and lost to an average Western Michigan 
team by about 20.  In the 70s Calvin used to compete with good success 
against Central Michigan, but those days are long gone.  Calvin is in the 
Bahamas right now for the Sunshine Shootout and may play Alaska-Anchorage, 
an NCAA II school which beat NCAA I Dayton by 14 earlier in the year.  That 
should be a good gauge of where this year's team fits in the equation.  BTW, 
Calvin is 5-0 this year vs NCAA II foes.

Well, the list of ACC triple-doubles I posted along with this fragment
seems to indicate that the practice started in or before 1976.  As I
understand it, there are 5 categories which are scored to the good and
a few more to the bad (e.g., turnovers, fouls).  Those five are: points,
rebounds (often listing offensive and defensive in the total), steals,
assists, and blocked shots.  

I guess blocked shots don't count for much at Kentucky...

this season (6 games each).  Additionally, Oral Roberts seems to be playing
a full Div I schedule.  Brooklyn is definitely gone.  The only other

they're Div I this season (2 games), but I haven't heard a definitive

Actually, it was Syracuse, not Marquette.

Louisville missed beating UCLA in the semi when Terry Howard made his

in UK's defense, they were the ones that knocked undefeated powerhouse
IU out of the tournament.
