Refs weren't great but we played almost no defense in the entire first half, this loss is on the team.

We were doing well in that 2-3 zone and then we went back to man? Not sure why.

We’ve seen them once.

We catch them on a neutral game with neutral whistle. They gone.

Wish we would have kept the 2-3 zone - we had multiple chances to get it to a 1 possession game in that stretch just had some bad offensive sets and shots

Our unusual defense.......camp out the center out in the paint, was a poor matchup for this team.

A more conventional defense, with the center (Ballo) playing on the screener and then hedging hard, would (IMO) given us a better chance to win.

There were a couple of times late that we just couldn't put it in to close it to 2. Caleb played great today. A couple of guys did not have the game we needed to come out with a win. They also shot very well. There is no stopping Edny when he is within 10 ft.

Get ready for the next two. Like playing great teams.

Our defense can’t tell which Caucasian fellow they are guarding?

Believe me, I want Arizona to win all games, and get pissed when they lose. We didn’t get our ass kicked on a non neutral site. Long way to go till March. I wouldn’t trade our team/coaches for any one else, long time to go

Just have to tip your hat to Purdue today. They v are a great team that played at the top of their game today. Shot nearly 54% against us and win the rebounding battle. They deserved to win.

If we do meet then again, it's likely in the Final Four, in our backyard this year. Would be an epic rematch.

Can you name a team that would have beaten Purdue this afternoon in Indy?

If Purdue's guards shoot like they did in the first half and the last couple of minutes, I am not sure anyone can beat them.

We chose to limit Edey and did. We had multiple possessions where we just needed to make the big shot to get over the hump. We made enough shots to stay in it but not to win.

I thought it was a really good game.

The Cats played pretty well, Purdue just played better.

But Robbie Hummel can lick my taint.

Purdue pretty much controlled the game throughout. Clearly the better team won. I had said our schedule up to this point wasn't as hard as people thought and I was proven right today. Two more good opponents before conference play begins. Hopefully Arizona gets challenged more than expected by Pac 12 teams. Otherwise I see another early flameout in the NCAA tournament. Heading to a better conference is exactly what Arizona needs. Anyway, congrats to the Boilermakers on a job well done. For the second time Purdue has defeated a #1 ranked Arizona team. That's annoying.

went to the game today

Fun atmosphere
Decent UofA turnout

We didn’t adjust to that high screen to free up the 3 point shooter in the first half

I think we should have attacked Edey in the first half to try to get him in foul trouble

The 3 turnovers in a row in the first half really changed the momentum in the first half in. Purdue’s favor

Too many pocket pass attempts to our bigs. Ballo had not developed the hands

Too many turnovers in general, especially in the first half

Love and Johnson played inspired ball today

Ballo is really going to need a move that gets him an easy bucket our two, come March

In fairness to Oumar and his hands, throwing bounce passes at his shoes when his back is turned is not the best way to feed the big guy! Ballo did just fine when the ball was put somewhere between him and the rack!
