I understand that Tubby was frustrated after a devastating loss, but calling out his most potent offensive weapon (Hoffarber) for taking "bad" shots was not a good move in my opinion. Sure, Blake took some questionable 3s, but I'd rather have him taking those shots than anyone on the team. Smith needs to understand that Maverick isn't the answer at PG, not even in the short term. The kid looks seriously over-matched out there and I honestly believe he's a big reason why Minnesota can't get in any type of offensive flow.
Another reason for the offensive downturn is the template that Purdue created on how to guard Blake. Get in his face and it shuts not only him down, but the entire offense. Blake has resorted to pushing off with his forearm to create space. He's going to get called for that soon.
