Arizona should learn a lot from his loss. Final Four is in Phoenix, so things will be different if they meet again in the FF.

It's insufferable

There is always a bigger, tougher dude out there, and Purdue was that dude.

Pretty disappointed in Boswell being a complete non factor. Not sure what happened there but I hope he uses this as motivation. He is critical to our teams success.

No panic from me on this loss.
I hope tommey also learns from this loss, we knew  eday is good but why on earth did he not let ballo play guard him without  the drop coverage.

Our guards were late on rotations which they were hitting open 3s.

I would have let eday go for 40 points
 An tried to keep loyer,smith from going off, those 2 guys killed us the went for 53 points  an 9 3s between them.


Still it's 1 loss Purdue was better today


I think arizona  blew it in the 1st half, they were outworked on the glass Purdue with  all those offensive boards.

An some bad turnovers  that costly.

I hope we play them in NCAA tournament  again.

I would have liked us to stay home as well. Letting Loyer and Smith get confident with their shot lost us the game. Lloyd was probably just protecting Ballo. Edey was scoring over him with ease in 1 v 1 situations.
It would be interesting to see what Tenn, Marquette and NW'ern did to handicap the guards, because we were scrambling all game.

Boswell also had several open threes too. It's not like Purdue did anything crazy. They made their shots and we didn't.
