Well this is it. The last time I'll don the captain's hat for the Paint Crew. Thank you for the memories, the family and the slight hearing damage. Come make Mackey the best venue in college basketball one last time with me #BoilerUp

One of the biggest pandemics in this great sport is the belief that foul counts MUST be equal (or close to it)

Some teams foul more, some players draw more fouls

[Dan Orlovsky @danorlovsky7]

The fouls are like 15-5 right now.

It’s impossible to be this 1-sided call wise.

The officiating is very poor.

[Captain Boiler @CaptainBoiler]

Dammit man. These dudes played their hearts out. Just struggled to score in the 2nd half.

[Captain Boiler @CaptainBoiler]

@dathrees89148 Ok, Mike 👍

[Captain Boiler @CaptainBoiler]

Nothing scarier than a team with nothing to lose. No matter the outcome, I'm proud of the grit this team has shown in the last couple weeks. Leave it all out there! #BTFU

[Purdue Men's Basketball @BoilerBall]

The Purdue Five.

[Captain Boiler @CaptainBoiler]

Zona is an amazing team and the better team but come on. Purdue has the better offense, better PG, and yea I'll say it, better coach.

“I looked everywhere, I can’t find any component of the game where Purdue is better than Arizona in this matchup.”

@itsbjtaylor says Purdue has NO advantage over Arizona 😳

We're all Fletcher.

Braden. Freaking. Smith.

[Captain Boiler @CaptainBoiler]

This game has had zero momentum for either team because of how poorly its been managed by the officials

[Captain Boiler @CaptainBoiler]

How is this the officiating crew in the Sweet 16? They've been consistently awful

Frankly this team is playing pretty good defense. Texas just cant miss..

[Captain Boiler @CaptainBoiler]

That was about as far from a basketball play as you can get by Vokietaitis. What the hell even was that??

[Captain Boiler @CaptainBoiler]

Someone get Braden in the #41 jersey again

[Captain Boiler @CaptainBoiler]

Cam Heide is built for March!

[Captain Boiler @CaptainBoiler]

Making sure this gets said - DJ has played some very good minutes. Honestly feel like he could have been fed a lot more in the post.

Career assists in college:

Braden Smith: 1077
LeBron James: 0

Makes you think

🚨🚨BRADEN SMITH IS THE NEW NCAA ALL-TIME ASSIST LEADER🚨🚨

[SportsCenter @SportsCenter]

Purdue’s Braden Smith is now the NCAA’s all-time assist leader‼️

He passes Duke legend Bobby Hurley with assist No. 1,077 👏

[FOX College Hoops @CBBonFOX]

HISTORY MADE 👑

@BoilerBall's BRADEN SMITH IS THE NCAA MEN’S ALL-TIME ASSISTS LEADER.

[Captain Boiler @CaptainBoiler]

Just a weird game so far. Players running into their teammates, dribbling off of each others foot, knocking each other down on defense. Not the same focus level we saw last week.
