Last week was a rough one for Purdue. The Boilers lost two games by a total of 8 points, and it led both games by muiple possessions at the final media stop.

I had a different, more bracketology related introduction written for this week’s article, but like Matt Painter’s defensive gameplan, Keaton Wagler made me throw it in the trash.

And …

When Virginia won the 2019 national championship, it did it with defense first and second and often third. If it had to win games in the 50s and 60s ― sometimes even in the 40s ― that’s what the machine under former head coach Tony Bennett did. Few did it …
