This is just a fabulous report Matt. You've anticipated and answered all of my questions, which is certainly not easy at this stage of the season.

Great recap Matt. Especially helpful given limited TV coverage.
 
Good stuff as always Matt.

I've noticed a trend lately (perhaps it's mostly my imagination, though not last night) where Berry takes a lot of shots early in the game and then disappears as a shot-taker. He got an and-one with 5:12 to go in the first half yesterday and then only took one more shot the rest of the way. I'm sure it'll be a standard "we take what the defense gives us" answer, but it may be worth asking Collins about it if the trend continues.
 
Not to take anything away from Mart, dude is freaking amazing and a delight to watch, but, just like with OSU, did MN even have a plan for him?

We had Mart/Barn/Leach available and Purdue had a very clear plan for two of them. I'm not sure I saw any adjustments from OSU or MN. Terrible coaching IMO.
