Kansas 98, Purdue 66

... 16 should be the goal because anything can happen afterwards. If you get enough chances eventually you break through. Jay Wright didn’t make an Elite 8 until year 12 or a Final Four until year 15 of his career. He was a perennial underachiever until a year ago and now he is considered an Elite coach. he has only been past the second round with Villanova 4 times in 16 years. This proves the Tournament is a massive crapshoot. Let’s look at all three of Painter’s Sweet 16 attempts so far. 2009: A 5 seed and very young Purdue team loses to 1 seed Connecticut 72-60 in a game that was semi-close throughout, but UConn held a scrappy Purdue team at bay. 2010: A 4 seed Purdue that had lost Robbie Hummel less than a month before (costing it a 1 seed) gives eventual National Champ Duke a game before bowing ...

... (25-7). The game is slated for a 7:27 p.m. tip on Tru TV. “This would be the first game too that we’ll play without a lot of pressure on us,” UVM coach John Becker said. “That should be a nice relief for our guys, just kind of cut it loose and I think it will give us a chance to play a really good game.”. Buffalo was the closest possible destination for Vermont, but the team’s name was called before the site appeared in the CBS broadcast. “I think a lot of people wanted to go to Orlando because of weather purposes, wanted to wear some shorts, but it’s kind of, you know, anxious, to see when your name is going to be called,” UVM senior guard Dre Wills said. “It’s a real fun time.”.

Purdue Basketball Is Clutch

... seconds left. The ball goes out of bounds, last touched by Swanigan on review. 0:24: Down three, Iowa State takes its time with very little of it left.

Swanigan rebounds because that is what Swanigan does. Purdue 78, Iowa State 76. 0:16: A bizarre situation happens as Purdue breaks the press and Iowa State chooses not to foul immediately even though the shot clock is off and they lack the ball.

Iowa State fouls him with 11 seconds left, but he misses the front-end of a one-and-one situation. Let’s face it, I ...

... hit 35.2 percent of their 3-pointers entering the game, managed to make just 10 on a whopping 36 tries (27.8 percent) on Friday. With Purdue freshman forward Ae’Rianna Harris patrolling the lane, Green Bay’s guards repeatedly settled for contested jumpers. “She’s a shot blocker, and Green Bay knew that. So going in, they were afraid of her,” Purdue junior guard Andreona Keys said of Harris. “We don’t see these good, good, good, strong, tall athletes often,” Green Bay forward Mehryn Kraker added. “Credit to her. She did her job tonight.”. Despite her inexperience, Harris showed little fear on Friday, piling up 12 points (6-6 FG), seven rebounds and three blocks in 30 minutes.

Butler, Purdue Tough Enough

... lead and reached their first Sweet 16 in seven years, Painter wasn't surprised. He simply knew the Boilermakers, finally, were tough enough. "No question, having that grit back after not having it for a couple of years helps," Painter said. "We put a lot of skill on the court, but we also have guys who are competitive.". Painter, after all, grew up a fan of former Hoosiers coach Bob Knight, went on to play for Gene Keady and then served on Keady's staff briefly before succeeding his former coach. Experience has taught Painter just how delicate it can be to find the proper balance. After finishing last in the Big Ten in 2013-14 with guys who were content to rely more on their athleticism than mental toughness, Painter changed course. He brought in gritty overachievers who embraced old-school principles built on effort and led Purdue to its first outright conference title since 1996. Nothing reinforced those beliefs more than last weekend's comeback against Iowa State. "Leads are blown throughout March Madness, which is all about close games. I always tell the guys, 'If it's not a blowout, then it is a close game,'" junior forward Vince Edwards said ...

Now comes a new challenge — provide a bridge to the abundance of young talent coming into the program while likely losing a generational player in the process. The Boilermakers had to become a different team in some respects this season, and Swanigan's improvement meant that transition could coincide with the program's most successful run in several years. Purdue will have a new identity again this fall without him (again, a strong assumption). The returning captains will be critical to that new vision. Which assumes that both Edwards and Haas will return. Both are expected to pursue the NBA draft evaluation process — Edwards based on previous precedent and Haas based on his statements Thursday. Both have nothing to lose and much to gain from the experience. Purdue will finally have ...
