I am rooting for Purdue but honestly kinda want Arizona to win so they take out Michigan and we beat them in the finals

 

[BBlock24]

TKR is out of control lmao

 

[Piotyr]

AZ starting to figure out Jacobsen, so TKR back in, with the Boilers needing to contribute.

 

[Illinicpa14]

It’s impossible to root for PU with TKR. The rest of their team have no issues rooting for

 

[Battle89]

Does Braden Smith have an overly dramatic ankle injury every game?

We call it the “Smith Death Spiral” in this house

 

[One Man Fast Break]

Arizona completely destroying Purdue in the second half. They look like a machine.

 

[March2TheArch]

Michigan and Arizona will be equal.

 

[SuperMetroid]

Purdumb right now

 

[Piotyr]

For a team with 3 big bodies in TKR, Jacobsen and Cluff, their rim protection and rebounding are terrible.

I can’t believe Arizona has a longer FF drought than us. Looks like a 21 and 25 year streak are ending tonight

Yeah, that is really shocking.

 

[Mobi]

If Purdue couldn't handle Arizona, I want to see a 3 OT between Arizona and Mich before we play the winner. LoL!

It's because we beat them in OT last time we met.

It is kind of amazing because they've had a lot of really good teams since then. They've won 30 games 5 times since 2001.

 

[Oracle21]

Arizona is reminding me of UConn when they blew out everyone in the tourney. It’s gonna take a huge effort to beat them

Arizona not making a Final 4 for 25 years is the most underdiscussed stat in college basketball.

 

[OskieWowWow]

Purdue bigs getting a reckoning in the second half, especially TKR. You love to see them get steamrolled by a superior team

if you’re old enough to remember the game that sent them there 25 years ago, the drought should’ve been longer

 

[madillini4]

Smell ya later, boilermakers

 

[Piotyr]

Well, the most efficient offense in NCAA history title is back on the table for the Illini.

Think UConn was better but not by much. I do think Michigan would have a chance for sure.

 

[Champaign88]

Arizona’s PF is a problem. So is Krivas. Their guards are also solid. Crash the glass, athletic, play solid D. It’ll take anyone’s best game.

 

[NarrowJ]

Braden Smith had a great career but I’ve enjoyed about all I can handle lol be glad to get him and hopefully Fears out the conference next year

 

[Chad Fleck]

Arizona looks unstoppable.

AZ is big and athletic, balanced in off and def. But they have not run into any balanced team yet. I expect Mich to give them fit. I am happy we are on the other side of the bracket.
