2024 NCAA Tournament Gonzaga vs. Purdue MASTER DISCUSSION THREAD

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Mr. Heide - BOOM Baby! DON'T LET UP, BOILERS!

67-53, Purdue - under 9 minutes.

 

[Boilermaker427]

Thanks Heide! I think first bench points outside of our 6th man of the year

 

[Schnelk]

Heide from three! Wow!!!

 

[krazychicagod]

Gonzaga playing so big means very little to no ball pressure on our guards. They have no athletes. All we had to do was slow down that high ball screen shit and they got nothing just as I was saying.

They cant hang if we stop gifting them

 

[RDUBoiler]

Feel like like we have had just a little from everyone of the starting line up tonight

Zach with a steady if unspectacular Edey game

Smith hooping

Loyer big shots

6-0 TKR run

First half threes for Lance

Balanced scoring, and they're finally getting rebounds. It's fun to watch.

 

[Boilermaker427]

Ugh great defense for Zach, offensive rebound and weak foul

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Ohhhh.....Fletch had the good look......darn it.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Travel???

 

[Boilermaker427]

Don’t let up!!!!

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Zach Edey - sweet little hook shot!

 

[Boilermaker427]

3 on Ike all over the jersey

 

[krazychicagod]

Gonzaga has gotten away with about 5 or 6 clear travels tonight

 

[Boilermaker427]

Gonzaga has missed a lot of easier shots they made harder versions of in half 1. Hopefully water found it’s level a bit

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

12/8/15 for Smitty......keep it going to finish this game with a burst.

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

Cmon Boilers do work on D

 

[Boilermaker427]

12/15/8 for Smitty......keep it going to finish this game with a burst.

One of the best rebounding short guys I’ve ever seen

 

[Ashaath2016]

Great time for smith to get his triple double

 

[RDUBoiler]

12/8/15 for Smitty......keep it going to finish this game with a burst.

Triple-double watch.

Yes - and the anticipation is a natural gift.

 

[Erock_94]

Rollem

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Mr. Heide! To the rack for two!

 

[Schnelk]

Heide with the bucket! Yeah baby!

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Dr. Jones with a burst of energy!

 

[Schnelk]

Jones such a factor!

 

[RDUBoiler]

Ike out.

 

[Boilermaker427]

Would have been huge jones. Just missed but nice anticipation.

IKE out right after I was scoffing at his 2nd foul. Guess he showed how fast it can happen

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Ike gone.....oh my.

 

[Abugabby]

Left, right, left, right!

 

[Boilermaker427]

gave them 3 chances and 0-3

They look exhausted

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Goodness - three looks.....heavens to Betsy!

 

[krazychicagod]

Braden smith looks 100% again. He is driving to basket and finishing again. Thank god

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

DO NOT LET UP, BOILERS!

Finish it!

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

4 minutes to go. Finish it!

 

[Boilermaker427]

DO NOT LET UP, BOILERS!

Finish it!

Yeah don’t let them make it interesting

Although they’d have to hit several 3 to do so

I want to give painter credit offensively. He deserves all sorts of blame for this defensive scheme, but he has us playing back how we were early in the year pushing the pace playing more loose and free this entire tournament.

He finally saw us defaulting back into how we played in years past in march lately and seems to have gotten us to speed it up more.

Great to see, but my god he has to change the defense, if we play a team with elite guards it will get way worse than what gonzaga did in 1st half

12/8/15 for Smitty......keep it going to finish this game with a burst.

Triple double I hope

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

4 minutes to go. Finish it!

Great minds, Kentucky! Haha.

You don't think the B1G coaches had anything in their game plan to slow Purdue down?

 

[tjreese]

Ike gone.....oh my.

When their bigs started getting their fourth Zach started dominating

 

[Abugabby]

We are so frigging good...best team I've seen in my Purdue fan lifetime.
