There are several reasons why Purdue is struggling this season...and IMO, very few if none have to do with coaching.

1. We put a lot on Rob Hummel this season. He simply isn't close to the same player. It sucks, but its also fact.

2. Lewis Jackson is THE senior leader on this team and injuries have just completely killed him this season. I'm

putting more on the fact that he doesn't practice than how he does in games. If your point guard doesn't practice, it's tough to build chemistry.

3. Lack of a post presence. Carroll and Marcius simply aren't gonna do it with guarding an incredible elite talent like Cody Zeller. I'm counting down the days until AJ Hammons.

Also, a side-note: Anthony Johnson, quit wearing a shooting sleeve. Guys who airball shots in big games aren't good enough to wear them. Just my opinion.
