I respect everyone’s opinions and takes but some are so emotional. Like you have never watched sports and expect your team to win by 30 every game. It’s so annoying.

IU at +145 seems like the perfect hedge. How much is a Purdue win in Bloomington worth to you? Bet it on the IU money line.

If you win, congrats! You bought a Purdue win.
If you lose, congrats! You have more money than you started with, and you can buy more alcohol and celebrate the string of success Purdue has had over the past half decade, and will continue to have after this blip in the road.

Seems like a no-brainer to me.

Anyone hedging?

So Monday we played against probably the strongest big man in the Big Ten Cockburn.Our centers especially Zach dominated him.Tonight we play against TJD who is more of a finesse player and our bigs are playing 15-20 feet from the basket.Anyone else notice that.Why would we do that?Is that something Painter wanted them doing? I mean if Zach could get position down low against Cockburn he sure the hell should have been able to post TJD up.SMFH

As several have said we played better earlier in the season against UNC and UV
The guys looked fatigued at times Williams play and Edey at the foul line then you throw in Hunter, Newman and Thompson. The B1G schedule is tough w two games per week and half on the road so Painter has to figure how to get these guys up for every game. Can’t play half ass like tonight and win. Our losses to opponents who have one player step up and play their ass off to beat us. We need our bench guys to step up and have some big games. But lastly keep making 70% off foul shots and we win . It sucks but go have a beer and relax. NW is waiting at Mackey for us. AtlantaJim

was he in post game interviews? Is he injured? He was limping around at end of game.

We started the year with our depth being an incredible strength, too many guys to play in the rotation so have to redshirt TKR. Hockey line changes. Our B team is just as good as our A. Look at it now. We are basically down to 5 guys who are likely to score more than 1 basket in a given game: Ivey, Edey, Tre, Sasha, and Gillis. IT can make the occasional open 3. That leaves Hunter, Furst, Newman, and Morton that are essentially zero threat to score a field goal playing in our rotation. It’s just incredible how far that’s fallen since early in the year.

The story of the game imhko. We really need to consider using Furst with Williams being the third option at center.

seems the more Williams try’s the worse he gets! He damn near cost us Illinois and I promise you he lost this one tonight.

That might have been one of the worst coached and played games I've ever seen...what is Purdue's infatuation with the quick three-pointers with nobody in position to get an offensive rebound...we are not a #4 team...****!!!

And they have become horrible team compared to the one that started the year. The players are to blame for their part in all this, obviously, but who would’ve guessed they would struggle as much as they have since losing to Rutgers?

no way should we be struggling this much.

what were we doing well early this season? What’s changed? And why?

I usually get all pissed off after a loss. Tonight not so much, Purdue played terrible and deserved to lose. That was the worst game in Williams career, he missed easy shots, fumbled rebounds etc. Also, Free Throw shooting was pathetic, Edey needs to get better, down the road it will be the teams downfall in the tournament. Did Purdue get any points out of Newman and Hunter? Both were close to being double digit scorers last year, this year they’ve both been for the lack of a better word bad, going forward those two need to step up or I don’t see much more than a sweet 16 run.

We might have talent but we don’t play with alot of heart.

Anyone think that double overtime game was an issue? I thought we were slow to the ball and fatigue usually shows up in free throw shooting. Didnt look nearly as crisp as we did at Illinois.

Edey only scored 3 pts second half and 2/7 foul shots but he played alot better than Williams 2 points if the stats are right. IU did a good job of defending our paint w our big guys. CMP better figure out what went wrong?

Always have been a painter guy and always will be, but Williams played way too many minutes at the end for no reason justifiable by his play on the court tonight. And the final final play call coming out of the timeout? Awful.

We may have been the 4th ranked team coming into tonight, but Painters end game decisions were not indicative of a 4th ranked coach.

Watching the Kentucky vs Texas Tech game and noticed Cal and Buzz and their staffs are wearing suits tonight. I can’t remember the last time I saw CMP coaching in a suit. I was wondering this the other day too if the Big Ten coaches all got together and agreed to just coach in quarter zips and sweatshirts this year? Does the conference set a dress code? Just curious. Random thoughts for a Wednesday night.

The game

Purdue continues to blow games they should win and fans wonder why we get an unfavorable draw in March and why we can’t make a Final Four. What a joke that was. Painter went brain dead not playing Edey at end.

Not surprised with the loss. The fact that I'm not surprised is surprising.

Indiana IS OUR State!

Best ever!

Boiler Up!

Why was Sasha guarding Rob instead of athletic Ivey??? Sasha should have been guarding Galloway inbounding.. I don't get it??? You know only way we lose is 3 pointer by a guy who was hit yet we have Sasha guarding him.. please explain?

Can't do anything about the audio in this room, sorry.
