Texas takes down Gonzaga

We will destroy them. Our bigs will feast.

Easy pick. Gonzaga was wayyyyyy over seeded.

Their big is solid. Except at free throws. He was 4-13 while I was watching. Probably hits 8-10 versus Purdue. 🙄

I like Purdue's chances against Texas better than against Gonzaga. Purdue's front line is way better and the guards are better as well.

West Coast Conference: Rewarded with three teams. All eliminated already. Record 1-3 with the only win being the fraudulent Zags' narrow 9 point victory over "powerhouse" Kennesaw St. Maybe next year the committee will remember this fiasco and realize that building a glossy record in that conference means very little.

Great 8.

We have a tough Miami team to play.

Gonzaga were frauds. Ike would’ve had no chance against Purdues bigs.

We all clearly have a bunch of time on our hands, so we can spend some of that leisure time thinking about what lies ahead. I promise it won’t affect how the team performs.

Good for Cam Heide. Big shot to clinch the game. Now we need to beat Miami so we can whoop Texas and get to the Great 8.

Frankly I’m more scared about tomorrow than Texas

Exactly. I don’t get why anyone is thinking about next weekend. Win tomorrow.

Miami looked like booty cheeks

All true. Can’t look past the Canes. But….. Queens, Miami, Texas to get to elite 8…. we would have taken that a week ago. LFG!!

Agreed. It's a great draw until E8. We just need to focus on the game in front of us, and take care of business. Let's go Boilers!!!

Meh why do people act like how fans behave have a single thing to do with that actual game? Good god you aren’t important. Plan ahead as much as you want.

Beat Miami

Hey now, @westlala has helped build Purdue’s basketball culture. Don’t tell him the fans don’t impact this stuff.

They have been focused since the BIG tournament. They are a tough out when focused. Win and advance. We can talk Texas AFTER beating Miami.

His point is that we as fans can talk about Texas right now and it will not affect what happens in the game vs Miami.

Gonzaga had some dudes. Ike would have been a handful

Gonzaga is soft. They lost by 40 to Michigan, played a pathetic WCC schedule, and Ike is the same guy we dominated in 2024.
