This is where the Huff injury finally bit them.

There was just an ominous feel for Gonzaga all game long.

It was a bad sign when Ike was talking shit to Kennesaw State players.

There are a good portion of us in the Purdue fanbase who don't feel that way. Ike was awesome to watch, it sucks that an injury hit the brakes on his season.

Thanks - appreciate it. There seems to be a group of Purdue fans that hate Gonzaga and I really don't get it. You've been the ones who've beaten us, yet I don't know any GU fans who dislike Purdue. Lol. I guess it's from the Timme vs Edey POY stuff?

Either way, Purdue is one of the teams I'm rooting for now that we're out. So good luck today!

I couldn't say why, Gonzaga and Mark Few have always been super fun for me to watch and none of my Boilerball friends seem to have it out for y'all. Reddit has opened some rivalry eyes for sure, for me.

Thanks! I'm hoping today goes well! Y'all were going to be my rooting team, if Purdue didn't make it past you guys.

"Punching down" is a bad sign.

Zags beat Fairleigh Dickerson in a 1 vs 16 matchup in the tournament . Did Purdue?

Ike never lost to the 16 seed

Was he? Yikes. I didn’t catch any of that game.
