@boilerhoop @jt_martin @ShamsCharania doesn't change facts bro! glad he left early.

@Drew_trainer77 @jt_martin @ShamsCharania Nobody asked you.

The Chicago Bulls are waiving guard Jaden Ivey after his recent anti-LGBTQ comments amid several rants on religion and other topics, sources tell ESPN.

@jt_martin @ShamsCharania I always thought he was kind of a detriment at Purdue too. Not really a team player. Thought it was the Jaden Ivey show. Immature and not well educated.

@ShamsCharania ivey getting waived by chicago after they just traded for him... went from detroit's lottery pick to unemployed in less than a season. the talent was there the self-awareness was not

WE ALMOST LOST BILL RAFTERY

@PurdueBballGuy 100 percent accurate

To win a national title you have to have pros on the team. Purdue has to either start recruiting pros, or just be content making second weekends most of the time.

@BoiledSports @Boiler_up89 Of course they were more talented. Nobody is questioning that. Doesn’t mean they weren’t beatable in that game. We had our chances. Too many mistakes fueled their runs. Remember we won one half of play.

@Boiler_up89 @Drew_trainer77 Played a much better, much more talented team. Zona was in the elite group all year for a reason; eyeball test told the tale and analytics agreed.

Need #PlayoffFletch

@Boiler_up89 @BoiledSports In case you forgot, we beat them in the first half. Painter himself pointed to turnovers as one of the main reasons it got away from them. Braden had at least two live ball turnovers that cost them points.

@Drew_trainer77 @BoiledSports Smith had 3 tos. Not why they lost tonight.

@brianneubert Untrue. Arizona could have been held off if we built a better cushion in the first. That cost us. CJ needed to be given more shots. Braden decision making hurt our momentum in 2nd. A victory was possible.

The first half was a mirage. It was never sustainable.

@SolvingBracket @gwizzy12 Lost his poise and centeredness. A hot mess when that’s the story. Not the first time.

@gwizzy12 this is men vs boys. plus TKR having the worst game of his career it feels like

You are watching a much different game than me if you’re seeing self-defeating Arizona is dominant and asserting their will. Purdue somehow outplayed them in the first 20 without TKR and yet, Best Team gonna Best Team

@gwizzy12 Then you should go back and watch again. Purdue had many missed golden opportunities in the first half especially when they didn’t capitalize. Dumb mistakes, turnovers, rushing. They could have been up 15 at halftime, easily. Dumb fouls, feet not set, miscommunications.

@gwizzy12 Too late. He’s been a mental, rushed mess this whole game. They let this team get them hurried. TKR off balanced once again. He’s good when his feet are solid.

Extremely well-timed TV timeout because Trey needs some deep breaking exercises pronto

@gwizzy12 Purdue makes a lot of self defeating mistakes

Arizona remembered they’re the best team in the country and it’s terrifying

@gwizzy12 He also can’t catch a ball and is weak AF

Objectively hilarious that DJ has 0 and 0 in 12 minutes today and the genuine *correct* consensus is that he’s had a great game and is impacting things way more than normal

@brianneubert You need less dumb mistakes. That’s what’s costing them.

If this ends up the way it's trending, these personnel complications for #Purdue were just too much. Also, Arizona is awesome, but to beat a team like this, you need your best lineups.

@kraigbowers34 They aren’t getting their feet set on shots. Everything rushed and off balance.

Arizona has dialed up the defensive pressure this half. Three's aren't falling for Purdue, but the looks aren't near as good either. They've also started attacking downhill more with their guards 1 on 1 and Purdue's not been able to stay in front. Peat also facing up and using his footwork and athleticism to get shots.

@C_K_3 Needs to keep his balance too. His mind is rushing his feet.

TKR gotta keep his composure!! You’re getting screwed but keep playing your game!

@C_K_3 Painter mistake bringing in Jacobsen there. He can’t catch. Too weak in a physical game. Huge mistake and killed momentum

Knew they were gonna make a run…now make one of our own!!

@BoilerBurner1 Cox needs more looks

Purdue can still shoot better. One more half.
