SHOCKER: Purdue Boilermakers STUNNED by UCLA Game Winner—Should FANS PANIC or Stay Calm?

Purdue Boilermakers stumble as UCLA grabs a last-second 69-67 victory in Los Angeles—should Boilermaker fans hit the panic button, or is this loss just a necessary wake-up call? Nick Arvin reviews Purdue’s first Big Ten defeat, spotlighting key moments like Tyler Bilodeau’s clutch three-pointer and CJ Cox’s near-miss at the buzzer. The analysis covers Braden Smith’s uncharacteristic struggles, Fletcher Loyer’s disappointing night, and why the Boilermakers’ inside game failed to make an impact when it mattered most.

Nick Arvin breaks down player grades, critiques coaching adjustments, and previews the crucial upcoming matchup against Illinois. With Purdue still in the Big Ten title hunt, hear how the team can regroup, why bench contributions are more important than ever, and what Joe Lunardi’s bracketology means for their tournament outlook. Will Matt Painter’s squad rise to the challenge—or lose ground with more marquee tests ahead?
