A good buddy of mine back East is a big Purdue fan and played under Painter at Southern Illinois and a current friend of mine here in Memphis played at Purdue. Here are some of their combined takes:
-Neither was even mad. We just outplayed/hustled them.
-Outside of Edey they have no other big men. It’s Edey and a bunch of guards.
-Too many turnovers by Purdue. At one point late in the second half the turnover margin for Purdue was +6.
-Hot shooting + hostile home crowd = win every time
