I've been as critical of Tomi as anyone about his struggles on the boards, but he sure is bringing it today. Love the toughness and leadership from him.

That was a really stupid foul by Benter.
Purdue missed a jumper! It's go time!
Purdue (hopefully) coming back down to earth a bit
I love the tallest zone defense in history.
Without kylan we still have a good team if they would just play. You have to learn to play like the 05 team and be able to anticipate everybody's position.. I don't really know if there will ever be a team as cohesive as 05.. but we really still have a very very good team and I don't know where the disconnect is..
Purdue not committing many fouls like us....they don't have to guard anyone but KW.

Tomi finally got aggressive on a defensive rebound
How the hell did no one recruit Wagler?
This game is a microcosm of the season. Thank God for Wagler or we’d be getting blown out today and would’ve lost a few other games. Grateful for this young man.
Nice push off by Smith on that fadeaway. His whole forearm was extended.

Boohoo, refs aren't letting Purdue get away with flops
Good no-call on the flop...surprised they didn't call it against Andrej.
Why go back to man. Just stupid.
Loyer spent about a half hour in the lane there.
The only shot Purdue can't make tonight is wide open corner threes
