But it's still streaky. Texas is not a great free throw shooting team. Because of its defense and Mihm's ability to dominate on both ends of the court, Texas is a dark horse to make a region final. F Brian Cardinal is one of the league's best all-around players. The emergence of F Mike Robinson as a consistent player has solidified the Boilermakers as a tournament team.
Defense is solid, as usual.
Lack of a flamboyant scorer who can create his own shots in clutch situations. Giving up second shots. Purdue could make the Sweet 16 once again. There must be a formula here. Nothing fancy with the Boilermakers.
