Loyer needs to hit the weight room big time. Credit to UConn’s perimeter defense they were unreal.Purdue's guards failed them big time.

Yup, but Painter leaving Loyer in so long over Heide was an awful coaching decisionPurdue's guards failed them big time.

True. They missed a lot of open shots also.Yup, but Painter leaving Loyer in so long over Heide was an awful coaching decision
Of course not. He’s a generational player. But we’ve got upgrades coming at other positions as well.Not like this----Not Edey like. The 7'2" kid is gonna be good....But not Edey good.
Suits me, less northern detritus here is better.It’s crazy how there are like zero UConn fans on this board lol
Meh. Nitpicking.Yup, but Painter leaving Loyer in so long over Heide was an awful coaching decision
They dominated because their defense is elite, think this UCONN team was ranked top 3 in overall kenpom the last decade or something like that
You guys avoided the UConn juggernaut hahaPurdue is now the only 1 seed to lose to a 16 and not win the national championship the following year
You guys avoided the UConn juggernaut haha
But your frontcourt wasn’t close to as good as ours.We’d put up a good fight. Our guards were much better than your guards
Ehh Guy isn't getting shots off those guys and Clark is too short against UCONN's guards. Plus who do you have on Clingan?We’d put up a good fight. Our guards were much better than your guards

This. Clark isn’t/wasn’t nearly as good as Smith. I think Guy would’ve struggled like Loyer tbh.Ehh Guy isn't getting shots off those guys and Clark is too short against UCONN's guards. Plus who do you have on Clingan?
You were a prayer away from losing to a much worse Purdue team, no way you'd beat this UCONN team. Regardless it's a moot point, but IMO nobody was beating this UCONN team this yearTy Jerome >>> Braden Smith
Kyle Guy >>>>>>>>>> Fletcher Loyer
Jack salt and jay huff could compete with Clingan. And DeAndre Hunter would own their other front court guys
I dunno----Guy was underrated athletically. This game was just to much for Loyer. To physical...to many athletes. I actually thought Braden was ok, tbh.This. Clark isn’t/wasn’t nearly as good as Smith. I think Guy would’ve struggled like Loyer tbh.
Dude that was sick.....I have never jumped up for a PU play, etc----that one I did. I was like, HOLY MOSES....
Has to...Its been ya'lls downfall---and its why I didn't think PU would win. UCONN's guards just waaaaay to much.True but the upgrades at other positions will help. Athleticism continues to increase with guys like Heide, Colvin, Catchings, Harris, etc… team will be much more athletic.
Chill bro, it's a message board for a reason lmaoPurdue fans arguing with a UVA fan about how their non-champion team compares to a champion team is pretty silly.
Champion > non-champion.
Congrats on a great season. Most of us were hoping you could pull it off.
I’m chill. I don’t have a dog in the fight. Just trying to keep you from taking more than one L tonight.Chill bro, it's a message board for a reason lmao
I mean we didn’t have Edey but we had Hunter and he’s a lottery pick. Congrats on a great season but man I’m so glad we didn’t lose in the title game
Yes! That dude ain’t going nowhere.Anyone else feel like Hurley was kind of planting a flag and kicking dirt on Calipari’s grave with that post-game interview?
You apparently dealt your soul under the condition that Virginia would never win another tourney game for the rest of time.
Your reading comprehension sucks. They are arguing whether Virginia would have success against UConn. That has nothing to do with Purdue.Purdue fans arguing with a UVA fan about how their non-champion team compares to a champion team is pretty silly.

No, I read it perfectly. It was veering towards Purdue v Virginia rosters.Your reading comprehension sucks. They are arguing whether Virginia would have success against UConn. That has nothing to do with Purdue.
Congrats @Deepelm. Your squad is too damn good. Spencer was the perfect portal pickup for you. I hated that punk at Rutgers too.
I tell ya, early on thst dude was a fukin beast....But UCONN adjusted. And I do think the pace of the game, and CLinigan's size, took its toll. Edey lloked gassed, and never seen him miss shots that short.Everyone but Edey just looked happy to be there.
HAted that dude....But TBH, HE played a HUGE role in this team winning another Natty. Perfect piece for Hurley.Congrats @Deepelm. Your squad is too damn good. Spencer was the perfect portal pickup for you. I hated that punk at Rutgers too.
