The way Gillis, Cam Heidi, and Myles have been contributing off the bench, scoring big 3s when we need them, is not talked about enough!!! We have so much depth, basically have a starting 5 worth of bench guys, they need waaay more love for this run this year

We're definitely going to miss Anton Watson. 9 years in Spokane (if you count his Gonzaga Prep days) Good luck to Purdue the rest of the way. Hopefully they can close out the revenge tour like the 2019 Virginia team.

@@jimg6178 whoever thinks a big man needs to do that is dumb af. Not every big needs to be joker. Duncan would destroy this league and he never did that. Let’s not act the game changed much from 2014 till now and timmy was destroying cats in the playoffs at near 40. The league will go back to bigs because if you can shoot 60+% from the field, you wil destroy any team shooting 3’s, it won’t matter. Teams aren’t going to shoot 40% from 3 very often
Glad for Purdue. It was gonna feel sad if Purdue on such a high year as a 1 seed wouldn’t have beaten Gonzaga on a down year by a solid margin. Hope they make the finals.
I would like to take this last comment of the season to thank Anton Watson for his service of play. That young man could have played anywhere in the country. He played with dedication and integrity in this day that's hard to find. Thank you Mr. Watson now go play in the NBA.(Biggest fan East of the Mississippi River)
So much for megatall players like 7'4" 300 pound Zach Edey being a dying breed. Purdue could very well win it all if Edey continues to dominate in the paint.
Purdue fan here. That was anyone’s game most of the way. Even when Purdue got ahead Zags had a lot of open opportunities and second chances that just didn’t fall through. Very impressive performance on both ends of the court. The rest of the Purdue offense showed up in force when Edey drew the double team and that helped us pull away. Good game. We ain’t done yet
I like both teams and wish they hadn’t met this round of the tournament. Congratulations Purdue and Gonzaga will be fine under Coach Few. That Zach Edey man!! He would be my #1 overall pick. 7”4 300+lbs and he moves very well with that size, very strong, and has a soft touch. Look at his free throws- I grew up on 90s basketball and he has the most beautiful free throw for someone that size.
Braden syncs really well with Edey and is a great floor general. Gonzaga were putting up a decent fight until they started to panic early in the 2nd half and get into foul trouble.
Now are you all haters convinced?Purdue will win Sunday against who ever.They are the Hoosiers of Indiana right now 🏀 🏀 They will win Sunday against either Tennessee or Creighton.They will beat N.C. State too if they win.I think Connecticut is going to get beat or upsetted by an unsuspected team.So the championship game will be Purdue vs the team that beats Connecticut and Purdue is going to beat that unsuspecting team a win the national championship dont believe me just watch 😁 🏀 🔥 🔥
after watchig purdue for 10+ yrs(i went to purdue for college in late 2000's) i feel this year might be the year! we had good players but were missing the some kind of champ fighting heart before (if i was right, we lost to under dogs almost half the time in the past decade). this year i finally see my boys playing like a champ!
Edey had his way. Even the refs couldn't impede his progress. He's pure magic. 7'6", bangs underneath, averages a foul a game. Meanwhile, game-changing touch fouls pop up everywhere around him.
As much as I would love to see NC State in the Final Four, Duke is the only other team left that has the size to challenge Purdue and UConn. That said, I think Purdue/UConn would be a great title game. Both teams match up very well against each other.
Having a big man like Edey really makes the game fun again. I hope he gets drafted by the right team as we need to see less 3s and more post up in NBA...
someone said something funny earlier Purdue will win the next game and go to the final four, but they’ll lose to NC State by 1 point in the final seconds-extending their active streak against double digit seeds. if that happens then they might be just as cursed as Virginia. but Burns vs Edey would be a good matchup
And the Zags aren't? Few specifically. No other coach has been a 1 or 2 seed at one School that many times and never won a title. Few is the prototype for a program builder. He's also the best example of a choke artist.
@@thequixoticangler3364Gonzaga is a weird one but don’t deserve the hate they are the consistent-best mid major team in college basketball. they have to get a hard OOC schedule every year to make up for the WCC that only consists of Saint Mary’s and then LMU, Santa Clara, and San Francisco once every blue moon when they stack their seniors. it’s hard to win at the highest level and still recruit in the NIL era in WASHINGTON of all places for basketball.

A lot of baskets coming from Zach Edey backing into the center of the court and shooting a hook with his right hand. Teams should blitz double him when he gets the ball going to his right and make him go left.. It looks like he is uncomfortable or does not go left a lot of use his left alot either. I want to see Connecticut and Purdue play each other.

Purdue loses if they didn't shoot so well from 3 land. Edey is over hyped, guy is tallest player playing with smaller players, he struggled against Ike in this game. Zags stopped doubling, again - Purdue only won bc they shot so well from 3s
Correction: The ridiculous number of fouls committed against Zach are greater than those actually called. When will teams learn to play a clean game? You're welcome.
If I was mark few or a Gonzaga fan I’d be heated at this loss. The amount of baby fouls called in favor of Edey is ridiculous. Same with the utter absence of the blatant fouls he committed not being called. I mean there’s a reason people titled him “Foul Monger”. I’m just happy to know it won’t correlate to NBA success. In an era of guard domination I tried so hard to be an Edey fan put his play is a disgrace to basketball so I just can’t.
