#2 Purdue vs. #4 Marquette - Maui Invitational Finals - Open Thread

To quote the great Kevin McCallister, “this is it, don’t get scared now.” Purdue took care of business in their first two games thanks in large part to their pair of dynamic sophomores. Braden Smith carried the team on his back in the second half against Gonzaga and Fletcher Loyer helped quiet his critics in a rough and tumble game against Tennessee. Zach Edey of course played his usual large role. Now comes the championship game. Late last night after many of you went to bed here in Hawaii the Kansas Jayhawks got thoroughly dismantled by the Golden Eagles of Marquette.
