Is there any chance he…and I’m worried to say it out loud…comes back to try to win it all next year?!?

Really don’t want to watch him again. 

Not unless he does a 180 -- I believe it was over a month ago that Painter said he would not be coming back.  And since he's played himself into being a first round pick, he would be nuts not to.  There exists potential for his stock going down next year and not much to gain.  At this point he is what he is.

I would worry about him in the reverse.  He'll get some points at the next level, but U Conn really showed how even guards can beat him.

Oh i worry about him in all aspects and don’t think he has any business being drafted.

I think that was rude of Hurley not to say something nice about Purdue even though they sucked

How about -

“I knew they sucked as a team and we’d win by double digits, but they didn’t suck quite as bad as I thought they would, I’ll give them that.”

Yeah after they smacked us around a second time this year he said something to the effect of it being the last time for him and the seniors vs IU

Purdue guards going to have a big regression next year when they aren’t left open due to double/triple teams on Edey and have a lob outlet.

This upcoming draft is consider pretty weak as well which will help him. So Edey don’t come back no matter what bags of cash Painter throws at you.

Castle, Diarra, and Newton had Purdue's guards in hell all night. 

Tennessee should have beaten them if it was called at all fairly. Never should have gotten this far with that roster.

There are matchups that are going to be very favorable to him.  I don't expect him to be a star at the next level but he's going to be servicable.

Wait until they play IU.  :)

Or if they weren't coached by Rick Barnes

I am bias but I think Dan Hurley has a strong case for best CBB coach right now. Curious what they will be like next year, I assume what they are losing this year will be much tougher to replace than last year... but who knows

Things we'll never see after tonight:

Zach Edey

Braden Smith flexing

A player getting away with a fore arm shove to the chest 6/8 times a game.

Now I lay me down to sleep as all the PU fans cry and weep

It’s considered the worst draft in over a decade.

Indiana- 5 national championships 

Uconn- 6 national championships

All in the last 25 years, which is crazy. They are the best program of this era.

SIAP, but Edey is actually gone right? I know he has said it, but doesn’t he technically have a year left?

He’s gone. Can’t get American NIL and they already retired his jersey for a reason.

Is it typical to retire the jersey of someone who never actually won anything?
