and mostly the draw we got this year, it was set up for us.
Saint Peter's v. Purdue Game Thread (NCAA Tournament - East Regional Semi-Final)
- Thread starter Purdue Grad in Texas
- Start date
This coaching job was absolutely mind boggling. From having IT in the game for extended minutes to not fouling. I just don't get it...
In November, Purdue wins this game by 20 +.
maybe the coach should defend his players instead of chewing his nails while the game pisses away.
Perhaps in the stubbornness HoF.
This is a gross overstatement made out of frustration. Purdue had a flaw - depth at point guard. Ivey is not a point guard. Hunter is OK but not a real PG. Good PGs do not turn the ball over. They make good entry passes to the post. I am not unconvinced that a Braden Smith is not a step up at PG next year. Loyer is in the 3 pt shooting contest. He is at least as good as Sasha. Edey is likely back as is Gillis and Furst. TKR is a newby but skilled. Purdue will be OK next year. WHo in the B1G will be expected to be better?
He only did that when his standby of staying extremely well hydrated was not having the desired motivational effect on his team.
Love Keady, but he never won anything. Let's be honest HOF is good, but championships are great. They're are both "good" coaches.
Seems your opinion humors several people
You pretty clearly didn't comprehend anything I wrote in my post. The post was about CMP's entire tenure at Purdue and how he has a pattern for these types of losses... Then you wanted to bring up Cal... What is the pattern with Cal? a first round exit to a 15 seed? You know as well as I that is not a Pattern for UK... But keep bringing up the 2 teams losses this year because that completely diminishes the point I made in the initial post...
No, we don't win a lot without Ivey. That's pretty obvious. Our other guards down the stretch have been bad, maybe with the exception of Hunter...
I won't be surprised if Edey enters the portal. He looked totally frustrated the last few games. And Smith will certainly get a lot of playing time early.
Maybe for the most wins without reaching the final four. Is there WAH, WAAAAAHHHH wing in the Hall of Fame?
And the purdue company line suckers didnt disappoint. All of the. Responded with their typical slurp sounding reaponses.
Slurp slurp slurp
Yall are PATHETIC. You WOULD defend this loss LMFAOOOOOOOOO

I comprehend fully. You're frustrated with the loss and you want to blame Painter. Simple.
Lol your reply had nothing to do with my post... You brought up Cal and UK... Clearly you didn't understand my post or he wouldn't have been used to defend CMP... If not IDK what to say... Because it didn't do a thing to disprove anything I wrote..
Maybe next year we should just pretend it is November in March. Seems like the trend today is to create your own reality anyway.March ain’t November
But thats kind of my point. If you think Smith is an upgrade, what does that say about this team with Ivey. Even with good forwards and the ability to play more small ball next year, our guard play is a HUGE concern. Loyer wont be able to guard anyone either so he will be a clone of SS. At least in year one. Obviously, I hope I'm wrong.
Wow, that is so weak. St. Pete’s had more guys in foul trouble all night. It made no difference in the game. The fact is Purdue looked completely unprepared and made way too many turnovers and let St. Pete’s stick around when they should have buried them.
The B1G regular season has always been our NCAA Tourney
Look at the B1G next year: Wisconsin loses a lot of talent but will still be good. Iowa loses a lot. Illinois loses a lot. Michigan is over-rated and loses some. OSU loses Liddel (most likely.) MSU has been disappointing. I see Purdue as no worse than 3rd in the B1G next year.
No Big Ten Championship, no Big Ten Tournament title, sweet 16 loss to an inferior team, split the season with our biggest rival, but we reached number 1, then failed to win a single game with that ranking. Average Purdue season. The only difference between this season and every other Purdue season is that this Purdue team gave us hope early on that our team might be better than it really is. That hope made this season more painful than normal Purdue seasons. Shame on us for raising our expectations. We should know better.
That's not my happy place. This loss seems to be swinging some of the Painter nut huggers to the other side.
We would never beat North Carolina if we had a rematch. Striking how different the directions the teams are trendingThis team just never was the same after December. It's a damned shame. You just can't ask for better breaks in the bracket than we got this year. Couldn't score against a 15 seed and couldn't stop turning the ball over like mad men. Short of a miracle, this is pretty damned disappointing, which is yet again, par for the course for Purdue in the tournament.
Every critique that he and Purdue gets after this is probably warranted. Except, Virginia (not including Texas Tech due to injury), we havent lost to a better team in a while. Always a small team with quick guards who cause havoc on our slow, spot up shooters.
It is almost like we are so predictable teams can game plan to take away what we want to do . . .
He used to. He used to be all over the refs. I have said it more than once this year that he has not had the fire this year. Not sure why.
Painter has recruited well the past few years. He has developed a culture. He represents Purdue extremely well. He does seem to be closed minded / stubborn / or just afraid to make changes. I am not sure which is appropriate. He seems at times tighten up under pressure situations. Painter needs to learn from his mistakes and continue moving forward.
