You do realize he still looks the same, right? The ethos of his story doesn't work right after Chuck Austen made his father the literal inspiration for the biblical devil. Mystique and Destiny being his parents is what Claremont wanted to do but couldn't in the 80s.

This is all I have to say after tonight:
Painter lost 3 seniors and a lottery pick.
Started two sub-100 freshmen all year.
Took the 436th ranked prospect and made him NPOTY. Won both Big Ten titles.
This group is a 10-seed under most coaches. Shit happens.
I’m sure there will be columns written about how Purdue choked and Matt Painter cannot win in March, but he’s a freak play away from a Final Four in 2019 and this team overachieved. He’s an excellent coach. Ignore those hot takes.

Look, whether this happens or not, the work Zach Edey has put in and the job Matt Painter and Brandon Brantley have done to take a guy rated as the 436th best player in his class and make him into a possible lottery pick is incredible.
Zach Edey is now a projected lottery pick after finding another gear with his conditioning, mobility and productivity. He has shown better versatility blocking shots and stepping outside the paint defensively, while dunking and drawing fouls in bunches.

I've heard this week that "Zach Edey has never played anyone like DJ Burns," unironically.

Purdue has the best record of any Power 5 team, while playing in the second-toughest conference. While starting two sub-100 freshmen.

As of right now, according to KenPom, 2019 Purdue actually had the hardest conference SOS of any Big Ten champs since the league expanded.
Purdue played road games at Maryland, Michigan, Michigan State, and Wisconsin. That’s literally every other team in the top 5 in the Big Ten. This wasn’t an easy schedule. Purdue just didn’t blow games like Michigan and MSU did.
