I will never forget Smith, Loyer, and TKR and will never take what they did for granted. This team is missing dawgs that want it.

Lost the game but honestly, I am so impressed with this team.
I don’t think there’s a superstar on this team.
But this team is going to play team basketball and compete night in night out

Zach Edey out-hustles Draymond Green two times in the final 2 minutes, directly resulting in 4 points for the Memphis Grizzlies:
1) beats everyone down the floor for a loose ball and finds Cam Boozer, who hits 2 free throws.
2) pushes Green around like a ragdoll down low for a huge offensive rebound, leading to two free throws for Jaylen Wells.
Need to add that Zach Edey was absolutely awesome down the stretch -- contested several shots in multiple spots on the floor (at the rim on drives, and coming up to the level to contest Curry's 3s). Tracked down and won every loose ball. Massive on the boards.
I understand the minutes restrictions with his injury, because they need to do everything in their power to ensure he's healthy. His impact is transformative

Purdue’s backcourt has multiple X-factors who will take a leap this season, and Gicarri Harris is one of them.
He brings defensive discipline, a strong base, and the ability to stay in front without biting on fakes. Shot 35.5% from deep and has the burst to get downhill.
The next step is expanding offensive production. With a bigger role, Harris will need to create advantages off the dribble, put pressure on the rim, and become a more dependable playmaker.

The thing that pisses me off about the media voters who can’t make a layup is that they play both sides.
For example, when Matt Painter takes an unranked team (nerds’ opinions) to a top-4 seed by March (which he will) we’ll hear “oh Purdue should’ve been this good, of course Painter has them playing well”. There will be no admission of error as media nerds can never be wrong.
Matt Painter is going to take a team that is unranked in their polls to at least a top-4 seed in the NCAAT and they’ll turn around and give their Coach-of-the-Year vote to a HC that took a top-5-team-all-year to the number-1 overall seed. Just watch.

Four years ago yesterday... Still think about Biggie quite often.
I will always remember him as a gentle person that just wanted to make a lot of people proud of him.

A team unlike any other.
Thank you to @BoilerBall for all your hard work and dedication and to the fans who never stopped showing up, cheering on and hammering down. 💛🖤

The top part features a basketball player wearing a "Purdue" jersey interacting with a fan wearing a "Champions" shirt in a locker room, with other players visible in the background. The bottom part depicts fans in a crowd holding signs displaying the numbers "1,077." The fans wear glasses with "Purdue" branding.

Purdue has multiple road wins against Top-10 opponents for the second time in the AP Poll era (since 1948-49)!

Gonzaga has 0 wins over anyone currently in the Top 25 and lost by 40 to their only current Top 25 opponent while playing in the WCC. In what world does that equal AP #6?
