@PurdueFan23 @GameDayGabi Well said. We get great high school and college talent that usually get overlooked by other schools due to a lack of athletism. We need athletes with length.

@GameDayGabi I fear we will never win the NATY if we don't get more athletic guys

Where did Dusty May go to get this NBA all star team? Maybe Painter should go there and get a few of those for next season

@trytonotanger @CoachMcMillian1 Nudged. If he'd shoved him with 2 arms extended, that would've been a foul. That subtle difference makes it a legal play. There were many other worse missed calls than this...phantom shot clock violation and Matas' elbow. He should've been ejected.

@CoachMcMillian1 With the best, most experienced point guard in college basketball driving to the basket, which you forgot to include, and all of that decision-making you describe happening in a blink of an eye. I'm a Hoosier, want PU to win, but TKR plain old-fashioned shoved dude out of the way

At this very moment the Texas player with inside position had a choice to make. #1 Dig in and keep Purdue player outside of restricted circle. #2 get wedged under the rim. He chose #2…. No ref is calling a foul at this point in a physical game. We all have choices….

@RealTeaNuts @ZachSchumaker Let's be honest, they were both hooking and holding on and off all game long. You can't call them all and Purdue got just as many questionable calls. No ref is calling that foul to decide the game after the BS foul on Cluff that evened the game up.

Brutal missed call at the end of the Purdue-Texas game. There is a clear hook and hold, plus an over the back on Trey Kaufman-Renn’s game-winning tip-in. That basket should not have counted.

@JackDunkins01 Purdue has a history of losing games they should win and winning games they should lose. We thank you for the added motivation.

I’ve never felt more confident in my life in a Purdue loss Arizona has the better coach and better team and I expect them to win by 20+

@BigOnBasketball Aren't you the one yapping? Michigan fans thought the same thing in the B1G tourney too. Purdue could win by 30 or lose by 30, or win by 1 or lose by 1. Nothing would shock a Purdue fan tonight.

All you Purdue fans in my mentions know your team can just prove me wrong tonight right? No need to yap. Just show me.

You needed a broken foot, a sprained ankle, 3 refs and a push in the back to beat Texas. Ain’t no amount of prep gonna save you from the ass whooping you’re taking tonight

@MantisToboggan7 @Blutman27 Ask Michigan how that mentality worked out in the B1G championship game.

@Blutman27 Arizona gonna wipe the hook & hold / flop merchants.

Arizona/Purdue for a trip to the Final Four is nightmare fuel for college hoops fans

@theblockspot Saying that they didn't win the Natty is obvious...the rounds he listed are clearly the rounds they lost in. If not, he would've said National Champions. Also losing to FDU doesn't undermine all the deep runs. If you make that many runs, you're going to lose some tough ones.

Purdue Basketball: 2017… Sweet 16 2018… Sweet 16 2019… Elite 8 2022… Sweet 16 2024… National Championship 2025… Sweet 16 2026… Elite 8 I’m tired of the Matt Painter disrespect.

@JackDunkins01 Ask Michigan how that mentality worked in the B1G championship game. Purdue certainly needs to play better than they did last night to win but it's possible. Purdue was like 4/20 from 3, had foul trouble, and Cox on a bad leg and still won.

I’m actually happy Purdue won this game It allows them a chance to get absolutely blown out by Arizona and embarrassed on the biggest stage

@sadlonghornfan But do you like his push shot?

Trey Kaufman-Renn is the biggest foul grifting pussy I’ve ever had the displeasure of watching

@LandryLocker Funny you say elbow. Matas is the one using the elbows and he's lucky he didn't get a flagrant 2 for the windup. That could break someone's jaw.

No. 4 on Purdue has offensive foul immunity tonight. They’re just letting him use that off arm and elbow at will.

@secnumbersguy Wild take. How many B1G teams will end up in the Elite 8? 3 so far. I'll bet 4 of 8.

Texas finished 10th in the SEC this season. They just went TOE TO TOE with the preseason #1 and 2nd best team in the Big Ten. Another sign the SEC is BY FAR the best conference in college basketball.

@John1008039446 @secnumbersguy And Cox was injured.

@secnumbersguy As a Purdue fan, we are the 3rd best team in the big ten and shot 20% from 3 when you shot 45%. Still beat you.

@therandomsec Bro, CJ Cox was equally injured.

Make no mistake though, the Big ten's darling needed the refs, plus an injured tramon mark, an injured Mark Pope to beat the #10 team in the SEC 😂

@uncglazer What's doing Saturday?

I hope I never have to watch Trey Kaufman-Renn play basketball ever again

@ringblake11 @DarrellBird Did you ever watch Carson Edwards play.? Yes, natty was possible. Carson was taking Purdue to the final 4 with Matt Haarms before the Virginia debacle.

@vannatte2 @DarrellBird Natty 😂

Between the hooking and flopping I’m developing a healthy hate for Purdue.

@blueman67234998 Mara and Yaxel are the definition of fake tough guys. Mara was crying while hooking and holding last game. Belt to ass.

I’m praying Michigan advances far enough and gets a shot at Purdue in the final four. This Purdue team is such a farce. Fake tough guys all over the place.

@laurencowling Better question, why didn't he jump for the rebound. They might call it if he's in the air and gets a small nudge in the back but he isn't getting that call standing flat footed on the court.

One more thing… HOW THE HELL WAS THAT NOT OVER THE BACK

@ctreada Flopping? Texas' gameplan was to try and match Purdue's physicality and it didn't work out.

No dog in the hunt here, but flopping won Purdue this game.

@CoachSnark Matas could've easily released TKR's arm. Clearly a foul on Matas. You are non-serious.

That they watched this on replay and upheld a foul call on Matas was so so bad

@RomeovilleKid Should've stayed. He barely plays at Texas who was lucky to make it this far. He's the 6th man at Purdue if he stays.

Putting the camera on Cam Heide immediately after that loss is so petty. (And I’m here for it!)
