Great Game. My two favorite moments.

1. Braden fakes a pass the corner where no one is standing and the USC guy guarding him bites on it.
2. Colvin is acting hurt, talking to and sort of motioning to Painter that he needs to come out. It gets him all alone down the court, where he takes a cherry pick pass from Braden for a reverse slam that didn't quite make it. Still, better acting than you'll see than at the Oscars.

The no look pass from Bradon to TKR was nice. The lob pass to Colvin fir the dunk was excellent.

Mine is a weird one....

There was a sequence where Colvin missed a wide open corner 3 in 1st half. USC got the rebound and someone deflected the ball as they started to dribble. Colvin hustled to loose ball and forced a tie up. Braden then gestures to the crowd to pump them up and cheer on the hustle play and says something to Colvin. He knows Miles is frustrated about not hitting shots, but also wants him to know the little things like that lead to winning. Pretty sure Purdue scored on the next possession.

That is leadership to a T. Braden gets a lot of praise for his play, but he is also one of the best leaders I've ever seen at Purdue.
