The Boilermakers trailed by eight points early but ran away from Gonzaga 84-66 in the semifinals of the Phil Knight Legacy in Portland
Mark Few saw what Purdue fans have already witnessed in the first five games of what should be the long and successful careers of Braden Smith and Fletcher Loyer.
Smith was on the attack in the second half, helping Purdue maintain its double-digit lead by getting in the lane and feeding Zach Edey and Caleb Furst for dunks and layups. “Early on, they went on a run and we were missing some easy shots but that’s fine. We’re going to take those and make those,” said Loyer, who had 14 points and five assists. “Just talking to our team and staying poised and there were a few guys a little bit flustered, but we were meeting at every free throw and talking to each other and talking during timeouts.”“Both of those guys are confident, and we have to stick with it,” Painter said.
“He just camps out down there,” Timme said. “He’s strong, he knows how to use his body. He knows how to get to his hook and you kind of have to put your hands up and hope he misses it. That’s a credit to the work that he’s put in.” Another strong floor game from Ethan Morton, who’s totaled 13 assists and no turnovers in the first two games. And another quiet but productive game from Gillis, who collected seven rebounds and nailed two 3-pointers.
