Purdue’s @ethanmorton25 put on a defensive clinic against Texas. Elite length, screen navigation, and defensive awareness. Boilers aren’t in the Sweet 16 without 25!

- Set of the Game™️ from Purdue tonight. Weave that looks like Ricky for Loyer. Gillis ghosts the rescreen and sprints off an exit from Edey. Painter always seems to save his best stuff for Gillis!
00:00 - Final home game of Purdue’s season. Myles Colvin, Kanon Catchings, Jalen Haralson all in the house
- Kanon Catchings finally getting some love nationally. Up to five-star status per 247. @BoilerBall @BraggsInStands
- Big takeaway from watching Purdue scrimmage: buy stock in Braden Smith and Fletcher Loyer now.
- Nasty counter to the counter here from Painter. Weave into false Chicago action, into a false triple for Newman, turns into Chicago for Gillis who drains the three
00:00 - Matt Painter has talked about drawing up more stuff for @ebuckets2_. Purdue has been successful doing so by using high ball screens, DHOs on the right side, and the gravity of Stefanovic. EHJ’s emergence in 2022 has been impressive!
00:00 - 88 players "up transferred" last cycle, making the jump from low or mid-major to P6. Using @evanmiya's player ratings database and excellent Bayesian Performance Metric, I looked at which P6 teams got the most value out of the lower levels and which players improved most.
- Purdue and Gonzaga will feature two NPOY contenders according to KenPom
- Replying to @SportsCenter and @swishcultures_Would be crazy if these two were on the same team...
- Ethan Morton does so much for @BoilerBall. On this possession alone he Iverson cuts over the top, sets a cross screen, sprints to the top of the key and finds Loyer on the extra for three. Ridiculous 30:7 A:TO. One of the best connective pieces in the country. @ethanmorton25
00:00 - There's this idea going around that teams can beat Purdue by simply pressing them for 40 mins. Perhaps there are a few teams who are constructed to take advantage of them (see Rutgers), but the stats tell a different story
