The broadcasters and postgame commentators cited the Cats’ 17-3 advantage in turnovers to explain how the Cats won the game against Purdue. As amazing as it was to only have 3 turnovers (with Buie handling the ball flawlessly), if I read the play by play correctly, of the 3 turnovers they committed, two were offensive fouls, one on Barnhizer and one on Berry, and the only loss of the ball on the floor was a pass that Berry made that the Boilers jumped the passing lane with 12:17 to go in the first half. This team truly seems to be the good hands people!
I would add as a Cats’ fan that I thought both offensive foul calls were a little questionable, though consistent with how the officials called the game.
 
The charge on Barnhizer was a terribad call. On the replay, you could clearly see that B planted his foot, and as he spun the purdue kid (who'd been flopping all game), literally hurled himself away from B with the kind of momentum you see from a bad action flick.
