And the lovely behind the back pass to Matt Painter!
If he made that pass and the dude hits the wide open three that place would have went crazy and I think it would knocked the lead down to 12? maybe.? Anyways I don't fault him for going for the style points.

And some posters wanted Momcilovic gone

He’s starting to reach his potential that was evident so early and we’re so lucky we kept him. Legit 3 point shooters with that release point are not common outside of NBA basketball.
 
SIAP but I feel like this was a statement “yeah, we’re worth it.”
 
Braden Smith was decent, but he tried to be flashy and Tamin outplayed him. Also, Purdue whined a lot!

He’s a good college player but no exaggerating that we’ve had MANY recent point guards with significantly more upside/NBA potential. Kane, Monte, Toure, Lipsey and obviously Halliburton all have the pure point guard goods more than that kid CBS was trying to sell us as “the best ever”.

I don't think trying to be flashy was his problem. He was too whiny to the refs and lost his composure.
 
This offense is light years ahead of the team that lost to Pittsburgh in the NCAA tournament.

Like not even close.

Hell, even so much better than March.

So insanely efficient.

TJ has built a lethal machine.
To be fair they only scored 5 more points in the second half during a true road game against the #1 team in the country than they did in that first round game against 11-seed Pitt.
