My big complaint

[Schmedly_Whiplash]

Last seconds, up 2 points, and we have Zach on the inbounds pass...........
I get that his length makes it difficult but when he's not in the paint, it's layup drill for opposing teams. Our guards are just awful at keeping guys from driving.
I assume that's partly by design, overplaying and funneling shooters to your 7'4" shot blocker, so when the other team only need 2 pts to force OT - KEEP ZACH IN THE PAINT!!

Zach got a hand on the inbounds pass which helped the play break down.

And the clock operator missed it.

But that doesn't mean it's not a questionable choice. JMO

That's exactly what it means.....it worked. Unreal what people will complain about.

He made the inbounds pass very difficult. And, as mentioned, he got his hand on the ball, too. I'd rather the in-bounder have to throw over or around the Big Maple. Purdue could have lived with giving up a two--they could still win it in OT--but a three there would have been devastating. Hate to think what that would have done to their confidence going into the NCAA Tourney.
