Purdue is Back and Better Than Ever

- Purdue basketball had one of the most shocking losses last year in the NCAA Tournament when they became just the second #1 seed to lose to a #16 seed in Fairleigh Dickinson. A lot was made over their style of play and the pitfalls that led to their early March demise, but that hasn't stopped them from being one of the best teams in the country in 2024. Behind likely repeat Wooden Award winner Zach Edey, and an improved backcourt group in guys like Braden Smith, Lance Jones, and Fletcher Loyer, Purdue looks just as good as last season, and dare I say, even better.

As a Purdue fan since birth I hope your right but also as a Purdue fan since birth I’ll believe it when I see it
Totally understandable hahaha
This. All of this.
Don't let people's BS talk get you down and especially don't buy in. Smith and Loyer were both freshman going into NCAA tournament as starters. They have the experience now and have proven themselves. They won't repeat the loss of last year. Go Boilers.
Braden Smith playing off two feet has been a huge key. Great piece of analysis and overall another great video.
Thanks man!
Good analysis. Smith has grown into a top level PG but Lance Jones is the X factor they lacked last year
Plus, 5th in the nation in 3s made (2024) is a little bit better than 270th (2023)
Yep Jones is the key I think.
I have been harboring the bad vibes of the 69 tournament. We've got the big guy this time. Lets do this thing.
Feels like now or never
Ready to see Braden Smith and Loyer go absolutely crazy in the tournament like Cline and Edwards did in 2019. Like 25+ point games from both,50% from 3 for both in multiple games. If they do that along with Edey scoring high + Lance Jones and Kaufman, they could win it all. Would make for such an entertaining tournament.
Great analysis, Braden Smith with a great season (4th in assists nationally). Good highlight selection as well, I remember seeing lance jones' handles in the backcourt live and new it was a highlight.
Thanks! And yeah that play was so cool hahaha
Great video! I have been following Purdue since 1981 and this is the best I have seen. I predict a slow start to the NCAA tournament but strong finish with double digit wins in the final four and championship game! BOILER UP!!
Thanks! And yeah I can see some jitters the first weekend but after that they should be fine.
I’ve been a Purdue fan since Painter took over as a 2005 alum. We’ve had some horrible luck but I like our chances this year because we actually have strong guard play this year. 🚂⬆️
Yep. Smith and Jones are so valuable. Plus they have guys who can punish teams for sending multiple defenders at Edey.
Lance Jones has made this team better, giving Purdue the athletic wing playmaker that they lacked last year. However, this team looks like a second weekend team at best this year. I still think they're susceptible to teams that can spread them out, athletic guards, and a different kind of whistle in tournament play than what they've seen in the B1G. Keep in mind, last year there were ZERO #1 thru #3 seeds in the final four, and this year has been even more chaotic. There are no great teams, but there's lots of good ones. I'd be surprised if there's more than one #1 seed in the final four this year. For the record, I dont expect UCONN, who IMHO has the highest ceiling of any team this year, to make the final four either because repeating is so difficult in this sport.
But, good luck. Purdue is good and they'll be a tough out.
Right now I'd have UConn winning it all. With the repeat thing, UConn is gonna be the first title team to improve their seed by 2+ lines since Florida. I kinda just think they might've gotten better (relative to the sport).
Another amazing video Bobby, keep it going. Looking more forward to the content as March approaches! Go blue devils
Thanks so much Gabriel!
Great video and analysis! Keep making videos like this 🔥🔥
Thanks so much!
As a lifetime Purdue fan, Lance Jones is already one of my all-time favorite Boilermakers. And he hasn’t even been here a year yet.
Good stuff. Hope this is our Cubs 2016
It's gotta happen at some point!
Nicely done
Thank you!
My age . I walked to class at Purdue behind Joe Barry Carroll who went to the final four my Freshman year. We've been stopped in the tournament when we're awesome by mostly injuries or all star future NBA players. Mitch Richmond killing us when we had Troy Lewis, Mitchell and Stephens, the year a pre-senile DickVitale pronounced us the best backcourt in the country. Grant Hill going off against Big Dog. There were others. Santa Clara raping and injuring Isaac Haas, instituting the hook and hold technical the next year. End of season baby Boilers we're playing as well as any team I've ever seen when Hummel went down, ending any realistic chance at a deep run. That's why Braden pogo stepping and collapsing brought this old man's heart right into his throat. Because I really, truly believe this Purdue team could beat ANY of those teams I mentioned. I don't think a future NBA star will be able to stop us. Only two things, in my mind, possibly can. Purdue getting in our own heads and forgetting we're top five national three point shooting team, or injury. If we remember we're good and play focused and loose, and aren't injured, I think this is my best chance since 1980 of seeing Purdue in the Final Four. That being said, I can barely sleep this week for fear of Grambling and some stupid ref fouling us all out calling fouls when their out of control guards go crashing wildly through the lane with no plan other than heave the ball in the air and snap head back and scream. Nightmares.
Nice video Bobby.
Appreciate it!
Ive been watching the Boilers since the 70s. This Team compares to the Big Dog days. When Purdue was ranked #1. Painter is a good coach. Go Boilers!
Yep. I wanna see him get his recognition.
Love the video man!! Boiler up
Appreciate it!
Great video, this 2024 Boilermaker team is the best team in the country.
The only thing that can stop them is the tournament refereeing. That is referees that allow Zach Edey to be fouled and restrict his movement as being unfamiliar with his size and agility. But that said, he has teammates that need to just score more to overcome poor officiating. Boiler up and Hammer down!
You articulated this perfectly.
Boiler Up!
I have watched 2 nd team extend lead almost every game this year with Zack on the bench. Purdue got dudes to do it.
Yeah it's funny I get both sides of the Purdue Edey refs complaint. I think it just comes down to the refs have never really seen a player like Edey so it's hard to officiate consistently.
Everything about this team makes me proud to be a Boilermaker. This is what a "team" looks like.
i think lance jones is the key from a natty and a round of 32 loss
Yep that’s the x-factor
Lance Jones is the difference maker that can take this team to the Final four
Totally agree
Really hope you’re right😭
Same Purdue deserves it hahaha
Purdue has had bad luck with its best team’s . Robinson’s pulled back muscle, both Hummel knee injuries, and the hook and hold that broke Haas’s elbow. Last years list was hard to stomach because they just fell apart. This team seems like they are hungry and they are more battle tested.
Boiler Up , Die hard Militant Boiler. Love this team , connected, Family to 1 another . Good luck against them. They playing with a chip on there shoulders.
Totally agree.
great take! BOILER UP!
Thanks!
This year they might make it to the sweet sixteen with the best player in the country, what an achievement
I think they're significantly better than that honestly.
@@BobbyDouglasBasketball Im sure you thought that same thing last year
@@jethrotroll5442 had em losing to Memphis in the round of 32 actually
I had them losing the first weekend too. Jones makes them better, but I still think they're vulnerable. I listed reasons why in another post in this thread.
Who is here after they beat Tennessee😂
Stranglehold on the big ten? lol their up one game
Lol maybe got a bit ahead of myself there
@@BobbyDouglasBasketball all good just messing around
well, if you look at the rest of the schedule you can see that it is possible for Purdue to win all the rest of the games.
vegas odds seem to agree. conf race is over
They're up 2 games and have the easiest schedule remaining. Wisconsin just dropped an awful one to Michigan and Illinois is playing @MSU next. Purdue's next real tough game is @Illinois in March.
Sorry but Purdue will lose as usual before the FINAL 4 in the NCAA tournament 😮
I wanna see their region but I think Purdue is up there with UConn in terms of title chances.
Here's a piece of interesting statistic: when Virginia lost as a 1 seed to UMBC, the next year they won the national championship also as a one seed, and Purdue seems to be fitting that stat perfectly, bottomline pick Purdue as your March Madness favorite to win it all
He literally says this in the video. Maybe watch it
You'll never get better value in bracket pools than picking the 1 seed that lost to a 16 seed the previous year to win it all.
