For the first time since 2001, the Arizona Wildcats are headed back to the final four.

The top seeded Wildcats punched their ticket with a 79-64 win over the number two Purdue Boilermakers,

setting a school record for wins in a season.

36 in the process, the Wildcats would take their 13-game winning street to Indianapolis,

where they'll play the winner Sunday's game, Michigan and Tennessee.

Against the veteran Purdue team, Arizona was led by its talented freshman.

Braden Burry's 14.

I can't even say his last name.

Karthinoakov, 18, and Coah Pete had 20 combined for 52 to up phase,

up phase on the biggest stage in their young careers.

I was a little worried in the first half, though, Joe.

But boy, these jokes came out in the second half.

I don't know.

What kind of adjustments they made at halftime, Uncle Joe?

Nah.

They, hey, they coach told them, look, y'all going to mess around, and we're going to be looking back on this game, talking about, man, we should be still playing. That's what he told him. Y'all need to come out with a little sense of urgency in this second half because in that second half, Uncle Ocho, the two freshmen, matter of fact, the three freshmen, the guy number eight, I can't

tell his name neither. But Cole P and Burris, they turned it up in the second half. I thought

Cole P really got into his, he got into a rhythm. The big boy, he got into a rhythm and he was going

at them big that Purdue got. That's why Purdue was able to hang into the game. And that's why

when you see Arizona

play against Arkansas, we kind of thin and frilled down now. We got guys who can play on the

perimeter, but we ain't really got enough girth to deal with them big guys. Purdue had that.
