Purdue suffered an ugly 102-58 loss to No. 6 Notre Dame on Sunday night. It's a tough pill to swallow, but Katie Gearlds still has a lot of confidence in her team.
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Walk into the postgame press conference, listen to coach Katie Gearlds talk and you might momentarily think Purdue was on the winning side of a 102-58 final score. Despite the lopsided result against No. 6 Notre Dame at Mackey Arena on Sunday night, the Boilermakers' leader spoke confidently about the direction the team is heading.
It can be hard to look at the stat sheet and believe there were any positives to come out of Monday's performance. Purdue shot just 33.8% from the floor, made only three-of-16 shots from 3-point range, had 22 turnovers and was outrebounded 53-28 by Notre Dame. It's important to remember how young and new the Boilermakers are this season. This is a squad comprised of seven underclassmen and four transfers. Purdue is still learning on the fly.
