In the final 14 games last year, Loyer shot 32% from the field, 24.6% 3pt, and averaged 9pts. Purdue finished 9-5 over that stretch.

And right on cue, Hawkins looks to start a fight after the final horn sounds and was taken out of the handshake line.
At some point, it’s on the coach to correct the behavior, but given what we know Underwood is willing to do to win…it’s not surprising he lets the antics cont.
Not sure why Coleman Hawkins has gotten the star treatment from officials this year. Kid runs his mouth to the refs more than anyone I’ve seen since Grayson Allen. All it takes is a quick ‘T’ from a ref to shut him up.

I wonder if some of the people who are sports voices actually watch the games they are making comments on or just look at box scores…
Also worth noting: Zach Edey has yet to foul out of a game this season, and is averaging about 2.5 fouls per game in those four games.
If your argument is "he gets fouled on every play" id counter that he basically commits a foul every play too.
Yet the calls are one sided 🤔
