Bye Braden. Bye TKR. Bye Fletcher.

Az looks very good.

Purdue had a good first half today, but most of the Texas game and the last 15 minutes today, something was just...off...with them.

 

[Piotyr]

First final 4 for Arizona since officials gift wrapped one for them in 2001.

Kaufman Renn staring down that guy after hitting a big shot to cut it to 15 just sums up Purdue so well. So glad I never have to see him or Smith ever again.

Arizona goes to the FF for the first time since beating Illinois in 2001. Illinois goes to the FF for the first time since beating Arizona in 2005. Poetry

That Karchenkov kid looks like a more athletic version of Mirk. AZ doesn’t have any apparent weakness.

Bye Braden. Bye TKR. Bye Fletcher.

So glad I don’t have to see them anymore.

I'm surprised they got as far as they did. That region wasn't the strong and that certainly helped. They looked bad at the end of the reg. season and then regrouped in the BTT to win it. There was something off about them all year outside of the 2 week stretch from the BTT to the Elite Eight.

Order restored: we once again have double as many Final Fours as Purdue

They got to within 5-3 in 2024, now 6-3

That PU class was good. They didn’t look like they should have been good but when they played they were smart and tough. Glad there is still a graduation rule in college

Yeah I saw that too, he's such a goofball.

Bye Braden. Bye TKR. Bye Fletcher.

TKR was always the worst with how many moving screens, shoulder barrel charges, and hook+flops he's gotten away with

 

[Piotyr]

For the 16th consecutive season, the preseason #1 will not win the title (yes, Purdue was preseason #1 lest you forget).

 

[Oracle21]

Well if Duke and Michigan win tomorrow I’ll never doubt Kenpom again. It’ll be the top 4 in Kenpom also being the Final Four,

 

[OrangeBlue98]

Arizona is really good. They took Purdue’s best shot, and then kind of looked at them and smiled before smoking them in the 2nd half.

This!

Him picking up that cheap foul in the first minute of the second half was bonehead material too. That was his 3rd foul and he had to sit for a few minutes. Changed the game for Purdue after that.

AZ is a unit though. If we get there I’d rather have a revenge tour on the wolverines

 

[Altuve27]

Illinois is back to the #1 offense on Pomeroy following that Purdue second half.

 

[Piotyr]

WE ARE BACK BABY

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

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

Arizona does that to a lot of teams….

 

[EmeraldCityIllini]

That Arizona second half performance was... terrifying
