Well, it was a roller coaster ride of a basketball season. It turned out better than last year but not what we were all hoping for. Still, all and all, I think Purdue was well represented on the basketball court. Just as a way of wrapping up the season, I've selected the best of the best quotes from opponent's message boards for your enjoyment. If you like them, I'll try to do the same for the football message boards from last season. Go Boilers!!
NORTH CAROLINA
Here is the downside of the coaches dressing ‘down’: Matt Painter looks like he should be sitting on the couch, watching NASCAR with a bowl of cheetos on his lap.
Refs are calling breathing fouls.
Russian dude is killing us!
Their hot shooter has a hair line like I do.....but I'm over 60.
Styles is athletic let him guard the Sfepnuidjehdj guy!
How long does the giant get to stand in the lane?
We have no one like Ivey. He’s too dang good.
Painter > HD
How do you guard those giants without fouling?
Apparently we ran out of tranquilizer darts too soon.
VILLANOVA
Not a basketball genius or anything but I think CMP wants them to move.
Purdue flashbacks? I don't have any recollection of ever playing Purdue... And neither do you...neither do you...neither do you...
Too easy for Edey. Sick of hearing his name.
I'm laughing because some people still can't figure out that you have almost no chance to beat teams like UCLA & Purdue this early in the season playing green freshmen. Put one in the game and the opposition instantly targets that player. I file this under the category of: Duh. Wake up!
Fast forward to the NCAA tournament with all the non-CG/JS/CD/JM players substantially improving from where they are now. Re-match with Purdue ... and Purdue also won't be able to count on Nova missing 87 free throws in two minutes. Game, set, and match ... imho.
I feel for the players. They played hard and had the game. Purdue had 10 guys play and nobody played more than 33 minutes. Moore, Samuels and CG went 38-40. Purdue had 69 bench minutes we had 25.
Villa-no-bench?
FLORIDA STATE
In danger of getting blown out - 27-14 boilermakers, they are 5-10 from deep.
I mean if they aren't gonna miss 3’s or get called for fouls, just end the game now.
Purdue gotta be shooting like 65%. They don’t f*cking miss!
9:20 left, Purdue in the Bonus. 7 FSU fouls to 1 this half.
I know it's not the reason we're gonna lose, but 2 fouls in 15 min is just stupid when you have a huge guy shoving everybody.
Purdue put up 93 points and I don’t think we played bad defense. That is the best team in the country.
Purdue just murdered us on national television in front of god and the whole Nation.
IOWA (HOME)
Look at these Purdoofuses!
All the engineers in the building and they can’t get a working horn!
Smash that MF to the floor Ogy! Since they are calling touch fouls, splatter the punks to the floor.
Good. Take his head off with a real foul and send a message. If we are going to get called anyway, we need to make it hurt.
Mackey is ALWAYS a "house of whores" - the refs suck hard there.
Edey, Lurch looking MF!
Is Rick Mount scheduled to speak at halftime? If so, we’ve got a shot…
Poison Ivy - Irritating little bastard!
Wait a F*cking minute! Is that Bo Borosky on the floor? That bastard hates the Fran and the Hawks. He has royally f*cked us for years! That Snake!
WTF!!?? Did they just say 7'4??!! I mean, c'mon!! What is this place? Some f-ing pre-flood haven for the Nephilim??
Eat Shit, Bardo! Gonna really put these bastards on the floor. We never were going to win this game. Might as well starts slamming them!
I HATE Purdue. I mean - u can't even find that trailer park on the map. Even with all the freakishly large people who run around there.
Doesn’t Williams have a Burger King to rob?
We need to turn into Bill Lambier and hurt some of them if the refs are going to do this shit!
Connor wants to test that big Goon. Ulis and Perkins will put quite a few punks on the floor writhing in pain in their Hawkeye careers.
Whenever people think about dishonest officiating, think tonight. Purdue is mugging on defense, like they've been doing for since Gene Keady arrived. There have been multiple obvious fouls not called. On the other hand Iowa is called for touch fouls.
Oh please Flopavic, get your b***h ass off the floor!
I don’t understand Pat and Conners form when they have two coaches for parents. It’s like their mom taught them a set shot.
Connor couldn't hit a barn if it collapsed on him....
Foul for being in the general vicinity of a rebounding Boilerquaker!
That’s the way it always goes at Macky. Those bastards always spank us!
NORTH CAROLINA STATE
So Purdue lost to Rutgers who is 5-4......guess they take that out on us? Or maybe we can pull another upset of the "Number 1" team.
So that's why Rutgers beat them; Purdue was obviously looking ahead to this game!
Barclay’s Center! They might rename that place the Bricklays Center by the time we are done with it.
Better play out of our minds to keep it close, maybe coach will see their big guys and get a big guy stiffy and go get us some big guys so we can develop a winning formula for NCAA tourney and ACC success.
Is Edey 8 feet tall? When I saw him in the huddle I wondered when I missed the return of the Nephilim.. Ebe looks like a child next to him.
Is this Purdue or Indiana-Purdue?
Purdue looks like we do when we’ve phoned it in over the years.
#50 (Stefanovic) has 3 kids and is on his 2nd mortgage.
He's been there since the Berlin wall went down.
I just drove through northern Indiana listening to this on the radio. And I wanted to report that Indiana still ****ing sucks. It’s like the most depressing place in the country. I hope we win and make it worse.
Purdue’s behemoth had his foot literally on the out of bounds line. Not allowed, Hayes has to have space.
That boy looks like he's been drinking Mongolian horse milk.
That was the most awkward 2.1 seconds in the history of basketball.
With those last 5 seconds there, the Basketball Hall of Fame has to be proud to have their logo on the court for that fine display of Basketball IQ and execution!
Ugh... I'm concerned. Purdue's coach may eventually wake up and tell them to give the ball to Williams every time down the court.
They suck us in to rip out our heart!
I think the announcer just ejaculated!
22 point collapse. We are NC State.
BUTLER
This team is the Murphy’s Law of college basketball.
Butler is increasing Ivey’s draft stock at the moment.
It’s embarrassing that we look like we are the little sibling just trying hang out with our older siblings. We are back to Butler basketball days where we just trying to be respectable against Power 5 schools.
Did Jim Jackson just say that Oscar Robertson went to high school just down the street at “Corpus Christy”?? Or did I hear that wrong?
One game closer to hiring a new coach?
PENN STATE (AWAY)
Purdue is not playing their best ball right now. Hopefully they will take one more game off before they wake up and play to their ability. If they continue their weak play and PSU plays to top of their ability, than PSU will pull an upset.
Our transfer guys are better than theirs.
There it goes! Edey with 3 fouls before the half. Williams has 2 at the moment as well, so Purdue may be giving us some more room to operate if we can press them inside.
Very winnable…you can see the energy in the team.
A box and 1 defense! Throwing it all at them.
Gotta love Harrar. Now Edey has four fouls and Williams three.
At this point I don't care if we win or lose but I love Shrews and this team!!! I don't know how many noticed, but Shrews called a timeout, I believe when we got down by 12, since then we made our comeback. This is a real coach, folks!! Team is playing hard. Let's go!!!!
That Purdue team is loaded. And relentless on D. PSU gave it a helluva go.
We had a shot but the refs and number 50 too much to overcome. Our cheerleaders were awful at half, too.
NEBRASKA (HOME)
Mackey is LOUD. What an atmosphere!
Just imagine how loud it gets when they're not playing the worst team in the conference.
Boilers will be in the bonus before the National Anthem is done. Walker already with 2 fouls.
6 fouls in 3 minutes and 4 turnovers.
Matt Painter could suit up for us, and we’d instantly be a better rebounding team.
Zach Edey being able to run a sub-six minute mile at 7-4, 300 pounds is the most impressive athletic feat I have ever heard.
Good news: Purdue's defense seems optional at times. Bad news: Purdue is awesome offensively.
That’s it…. I’m walking on. Who’s coming with me?
For how poorly this game started, Nebraska has made some plays. They’re no longer completely overwhelmed, they’re just whelmed.
Really struggling to find positives. I guess we've settled down, and I don't think we will lose by more than 35 now.
Wow. Purdue may just want to run a black/gold scrimmage in the 2nd half to get more of a workout. We are utterly helpless.
Painter complaining about calls when his team was in the bonus 3 minutes into each half. Read the room guy.
Finally getting to the point in the game where it starts to look like a half-assed scrimmage. Judging from results, I assume this is normally how we practice, so we should excel the rest of the way.
I didn't buy enough NyQuil to get through this season.
Could have sworn in that last miked up moment, Painter said," Let's Go Brandon."
ILLINOIS (AWAY)
I'm betting we see a little Curbelo sprinkled in throughout the game as a change of pace.
We need Curbelo back not only for his value as an excellent basketball player, but also for his swagger and overall theatrical value for the benefit of national audiences.
Because the short walk to the Hall across St. Mary's Road from the I Hotel involves negotiating just about as much traffic as Boroski can handle without completely depleting his cognitive faculties for the week.
What is best in life? TO CRUSH YOU ENEMIES, SEE THEM DRIVEN BEFORE YOU, AND TO HEAR THE LAMENTATION OF THEIR WOMEN. Okay. Let's do that to Purdon't.
Purdue playing physical. Literally punching us in the mouth. Ok, it was an elbow from Edey, but still. Gotta be tough mentally and physically.
How does PU have 0 fouls more than 10 minutes into this game?
11 straight for Purdue! Edey is unstoppable.
I could be unstoppable if I never got called for a foul.
Who put the lid on our basket?
There’s cold and then there’s dry ice!
I did underestimate Edey significantly. He's the best player on the floor and it's not close. This difference between when he's in the game vs out of the game is startling.
Dumb play by Kofi, to be honest. When you have 3 this early, you can't be that aggressive.
Well, he probably thought he only had three seeing as he was called for a ridiculous third foul.
The refs put sand in the Vaseline as they’re putting it to us like I’ve never seen. We have 11 PF to their 6, and a couple have been beyond atrocious.
When did Bardo become a Purdue shilll????
Sasha and his newborn hair drive me nuts!
Stefanodic has moved up to #2 most punchable face in the B1G, behind only Mulcahey!
Purdue is a good team and made some clutch shots. That Stefanovic was irritatingly terrific.
That was an incredible showing. I've said enough about the officiating in my text messages today, so I'll spare you all, but we're the best team in the league and proved it today.
NORTHWESTERN (HOME)
No Ivey today.
IU beat the sh#* out of him. And pretty much every other Purdue player.
Still a very tall task, but Ivey being out gives a chance. How does Purdue always have a ten-foot-tall center on the roster?
Stefanovic is a punk. I don't know in what world that's not an offensive foul on him. To call that on Berry as he was flung to the ground is inexcusable.
NU actually shot pretty well for once, but Purdue shot even better. And they dominated the boards.
IOWA (AWAY)
Williams has 2 buckets and 2 pushoffs.
Why is Conner allowed to shoot? Oh yeah, daddy!
What does Patrick Mac shoot from 3?
Bricks!
Whoever keeps leaving Sasha, DON’T!!!
Is Rebbeka hurt . . . or just owned by Purdue’s front line?
I cant believe Purdue keeps making these wide open 3's.
It's a mystery!
Edey made some great space with the elbow to the head.
Iowa’s best chance to win is for Fran to get ejected.
Honestly, all we need to do is have Fran tell an assistant to grab a random fan from the stands and have him run out and throw a spinning elbow strike to Ivey right in the f***ing face and take him out for the rest of the game, and we should totally come back and win!
We got it close when Purdue got bored. They re-focused.
Crazy stat of the night is that Purdue is shooting 59% from three and 44% from the foul line.
Just when you thought you couldn't hate Covid any MORE.... Remember it brought us our Super Seniors!
Warm up the tractors and hit the exits hawkeye fans. This one’s over.
Is there a coach portal? Asking for a Fran.
I want Purdue's coach instead of Squinty.
Pass me the rustiest bread knife you have so I can stab both my eyes out! I need a shot!!
OHIO STATE (HOME)
Nice to see a arena that doesn’t sound like a funeral home lobby.
Not a ton of options in West Lafayette on a cold Sunday.
I'm sick of Purdue always having guys that are 8 feet tall!
Edey dunking is like the Abominable Snow Monster putting a star atop the Xmas tree.
Edey is Frankenstein and just stumbles into bail out calls.
I looked away. Must've been Edey loosing his dribble and an official immediately calling a foul just in case there was contact.
The most punchable face in college basketball. Stefanovich!
Davison says "hello" from Wisconsin.
9 fouls to 3. A tale as old as time.
Someone tweet @kyleyoung to stop shooting 3's!
Done. He said shut the hell up.
Sweep his ****ing leg! Sh*t, do something with that Yao Ming f*cker!
We have no answer for Lurch inside.
Zed has 3 fouls, Purdue has three fouls. I turned the game on and the officials called a foul on me for looking at Edey.
Someone needs to just knee Edey in the nuts.
Win or lose that's an incredible comeback. Holy shit! We might actually pull this off...
Boom! Jaden Ivey is a stud!
I am still sitting here stunned this game isn't going to OT. That is exactly what you wanted them to shoot a long contested 3 and it goes swiss - really stunning!
Ouch. I’ll be so happy when Ivey moves on!
2 GD years in a row!!
There’s no goddamn way West Lafayette is built upon anything other than a mass Indian burial ground…..
MINNESOTA (AWAY)
"Edey is the latest in a long line of 7-footer success stories under Purdue coach Matt Painter. But the first but team to offer a scholarship, when Edey was all raw talent in Toronto, was the Gophers."
I can only imagine the raucous applause for Pitino’s recruiting if he’d secured a commitment from a big man ranked in the 400’s from out of state with scant few other offers while Garcia, Dainja, Carlson, and Crowl went elsewhere.
Really can't see any way the guys from West Lafayette have any chance in this one… this is gonna be a easy W for the U!
Let's make Camden Heide flip his college choice tonight.
Was that the most overt travel of all time by Ivey or am I missing something?
No wonder they have the most efficient offense. Dribbling is optional.
Painter whining for every call -taller version of Izzo.
Frakking Ivey!!
I will need to spend the half freebasing.
Can't guard their bigs without a whistle being blown. This is a garbage product. They can throw elbows and lean on us but we can't touch!
Williams might be a psycho but man can he pass!
Too bad they let Hunter in the Barn. A difference maker tonite and the game of his career.
Maybe Painter can loan us Williams until the BIG tourney?
MICHIGAN (HOME)
They’re not going to call Edey simply pushing?
I predict Michigan won’t win if it doesn’t hit any baskets.
2 air balls. Yikes!!
Purdue has 6 guys who can hit 3s. Michigan has no guys who can even hit the rim from 3.
You know it’s bad when Purdue Pete is hitting up the griddy on the baseline during timeouts…smh!
Nearly 16 minutes gone and not a single foul on Purdue yet? What's that foul smell?
Pretty grating when Edey is an absolute goon who gets away with the exact kind of fouls that Dickinson consistently gets called for.
College basketball is so much more fun when your team is knocking down threes!
I guess when your opponent is a literal Ent, anyone can become a stretch five.
I don’t think I have ever seen a college basketball game with no fouls on one team for an entire half. F*** these refs.
If you watched Hunter, he has (smartly) totally backed off of D once the ball is being run at the basket in the paint and that Ent they have playing for Purdue should've been called for a couple of brutal charges and back-downs on Hunter.
Refs swallowed their whistles. Does Mackey Arena have a radiologist on duty to perform x-rays?
We've seen nearly 24 minutes of basketball, and Purdue has yet to be called for a foul. BS!
Then they call a ticky tack foul on Purdue 30 feet from the basket.
My guess is the official was next to the announcers when they clarified that Purdue has committed ZERO fouls!
One damn foul on Purdue in 28+ minutes of this game.
Do the Boilermakers players bring their Moms to Mackey arena? I sure do smell some major home cookin' today!
We go from no fouls called to fouls on 4 straight possessions.
Well, they ain't calling them on Purdue, they gotta call 'em on some team!
Cry me a river, Purdue fans, that was a clear charge!
Hey, Purdue, payback is a bitch.
Michigan and the refs did a good job of beating Michigan today.
Purdue's got a lot of weapons, size, shooting and athleticism. Tough team. Imagine if Painter could recruit...
Let’s face, we are a mediocre team this year. Let’s of shiny parts that don’t function well together.
ILLINOIS (HOME)
Let's go! Let's control our destiny!
We will withstand the slings and arrows of inept refing and an elbow swinging bigfoot creature to go 11-2 in the B1G and climb up the brackets ladder.....
The crowd is up for us. They know we bring DOOOOOOOM!!
Orange Crush wearing "Pur-Dump" shirts!
WTF is an Ethan Morton?
Purdue always has some annoying white player on their team that has such a punchable face. This years Purdue team like 5 of them.
Raise your hand if you’ve heard of Ethan Morton. Smh!
Changed his name from Hart.
WTF is a Hart Morton?
Harkens back to a Purdue nobody that scored 25 on us when his name wasn't even in the score book.
14-0 run for the Boilers. Ay carumba!
I really liked this game a lot better when we were ahead and not turning it over constantly. Lets get back to that pretty please!
Watching Curbelo is like viewing a recursive sin-and-redemption show.
Punchable face annoying white guy Stavanovic or however you spell his stupid name is in the game. We must be on him like flies on poop!
How old is Stefanobi$%h? He drawing Social Security yet?
What a dumb clock. Come on engineer school, add a decimal point.
It takes 3 Purdue engineers to change a scoreboard light bulb. One to hold the bulb, and two to turn the ladder.
Curbelo 94 feet in 4 seconds!
We're leading! Wow!
First half summary: 5 min. of all Illini before they left the floor for a 10 min. break to let PU have layup practice and then came back out to make Plummer an All-American.
THIS TEAM IS NOT FAZED BY THIS CROWD. BOILERS GONNA RUN OUT OF STEAM. WE ARE CLEARLY THE BETTER TEAM!
Here we go again...down 6.
No worries. Purdue gives away leads like it does degrees.
We’re getting our butts kicked in the second half.
Looks like I picked a bad night to stop drinking a fifth of Jack with Prozac shooters.
Kofi is just a shell of himself against Purdue this year.
Ivey is a punk. I look forward to him failing in the league.
This is like the car accident that you put up sheets so you can't see the casualties.
Kofi played well. Edey is a giant, lumbering, trash talking, unathletic slab of human flesh.
That sucked. I find Purdue to be just as dislikable as Indiana and Iowa.
From 15 minutes left on, I had a whole new appreciation for what it was like to have another team's star take over. I didn't care for it
Humble pie. We are good. We just saw what elite looks like.
Purdue will lose at Michigan on Thursday. Just wait. They still have by far the most talent in the conference.
Ivey Ayo'd us. It was fun to watch him play; I just wish it hadn't been against us.
They spent all their money for shot clocks on a device that shimmies the rim through a remote control when we shoot.
MARYLAND (HOME)
Terps starting hot. Is that allowed!?!
Best 12 minutes I’ve seen Fatts play all year.
Pretty sure that if Edey took off his jersey, we’d discover that he’s actually one guy sitting on another guy’s shoulders.
The B1G employs the worst refs in CBB — it’s a liability that actually impacts how they do in the NCAAT because they have to adjust their play to it.
Another scoring drought to end the first half, but we’re still in the game. (I would love to know what Fatts said to draw that technical foul).
He yelled at Martinez to "Pass the 'Effing Ball!" and it hurt the refs feelings…
These Refs are in Painter's pocket....
12-0 run! Terps opening a can of whoop ass to start the second half. LOL
The Broiler crowd is stunned.
Nine of Purdue’s points are NBA range threes from that 40 year old dude.
I pity the team who will draft Ivey. This dude is a trash can like everyone who has ever come from Purdue.
If someone would have told me that the Terps would be down by one with 3 minutes left in this game, I would have asked them to take a breathalyzer test…
And I would have failed!
Painter wants a do-over because his guys are stupid!
This is an example of why you don't foul up 3.
BLEW IT!!!!
Terrible Play. Danny Manning is awful! Give the ball to Fatts with the game on the line! Manning sucks!
Choking dogs! No such thing as a moral victory. Manning is incompetent.
NORTHWESTERN (AWAY)
23 days in a row without a day off! Hello, NCAA, I believe we have infractions on Purdue. I think this means Northwestern wins 100-0.
God, I love the human cold bucket of water that is Ryan Young in the post. It’s ugly, it shouldn’t belong, you don’t enjoy it, and later on it’ll bite us in the ass, but in the meantime it works. God bless him.
Dear God, Edey brought rain with that free throw!
HEY LOOK GOOD BALL MOVEMENT ends in a Beran three! Greer at the point! Who is to say why these things happen!
I love our bench, TBH. Play hard, show flashes and generally don’t do the same dumb sh*t we see from several of our starters on offense.
A guy just proposed on the video screen. She said yes!
Surprised Chase didn’t foul him before he got the question off.
Can she shoot the three?
A student just made a half court shot at halftime!
What’s his +/-?
Put him in the game!
Ry just overcooks the finish. Then Purdue has some random sh*theel hit a three. Because why f*cking wouldn’t they?
Maybe a little overstated but who’s returning more players next year? When I look at the rest of the conference, I don’t see a lot of teams bringing back their best players.
Iowa will finally say goodbye to the Skinny White Metronome of Open Shot Death, Jordan Bohannon, but they will return most of the players from a team that is starting to play some good basketball.
But keep in mind Collins can always figure out a way to minimize whatever talent he does have.
RUTGERS (HOME)
But we always seem to play Purdue well, and Purdue has played a lot of games lately and have not looked all that great.
Stefanovic drains a 3 from the illegal Edey screen.
I have a love/hate relationship with Cliff. Love the thunderous dunks (especially posterizing that big Purdue oaf) but some of the things that he does are truly head-scratching. Putting your fingers in another man’s face is just dumb.
I’m starting to really dislike Purdue!
What a bull shit call AGAIN! The refs are in Matt Painter’s pants trying to keep him happy.
Gillis walks and no call! Eff big ten and ACC refs.
Rutgers called for 16 fouls, Purdue 9.
Purdue commits an average of 15 turnovers last 3 games. Only 5 tonight. Lol
Has Stefanovic been at Purdue for 6 yrs?
Stefanovic about 44 yrs old.
I guess we deserved that. Four game win streak against Purdue, half court buzzer beater that took away their first ever #1 ranking. Purdue got their revenge. They wanted it and they got it.
INDIANA (HOME)
Sweeping them this year would be hilarious: Painter should resign on the spot if that happens. Ivey should have at least one foot out the door, and the Basketball Gods' March curse on the PUkes can only help IU.
Anyone else think Edey looks like Purdue Pete?
No, Purdue Pete looks much handsomer and smarter.
We haven't made the tournament in 5 long seasons. The sixth season is sitting on the brink, one game left before postseason play. We have a chance to play our way back into the NCAA Tournament! We have a chance to beat Purdue! We have a chance to watch Porky the Pig over on Purdue's sidelines look hapless as we beat him on his floor! We have a chance to shut up that stupid, worthless chant from their dumb students who couldn't get into IU! We have a chance to FOREVER put a big fat stain on what is one of the best seasons in their sad programs pathetic history! We have a chance to tell @Stlboiler23 for the next ~330 days that we swept their sorry team from that smelly cow town! PISS ON THE BOILERS! BEAT THE DAMN TOILETMAKERS!!!!
I’m very comfortable with Ethan Morton shooting as much as he wants. He’d fit in with our roster.
I take it back, announcers are so far up Purdue’s ass they can’t smell West Lafayette.
Fife and that clown coach going at it on the bench. Why? Because he’s a clown.
I hope TJD goes to the restroom and finds his manhood for the 2nd half. He looked scared to death and lost.
Hopefully the Xanax wears off at half for Trayce. Dude has brought almost nothing.
For your information, I need Xanax.
This gets uglier than the fatties in the Painter crew.
Think I’ve officially seen the dumbest play in IU history by Race Thompson. Then Geronimo omg!!
This is their trick. They will call a flurry against IU. Then when the game is out of reach they call some against Purdue so the overall balance looks reasonable in the end. Book it.
DUI Man hacked X on that layup attempt: it's Mackey.
Now, we know he was wrongly accused. Just like French Fry Guy!
Channeling his inner Yogi, XJ is.
And there it is. Settling for quick shots that become bricks lead to quick and easy points for PU. It’s shit the bed time for IU. It’s as predictable as the sun rising.
2 fouls on PU in second half, lol.
Mackey is the place where shitty Big 10 reffing was born.
Purdue is soft. They've only committed 5 fouls in the game.
Dumb as a Bag of Mud Covered Bricks. End of game execution has been horrible all year.
I believe Mud Covered Bricks were what everybody but Kopp was putting up from 3 point range today.
Everybody knows Lander is better than Ivey. If only Lander could have played, we’d have won. Book it!
PENN STATE (BTT)
Purdue was not ready for the triangle and 2.
No matter what... exciting to see some good coaching... some passion... and some FIGHT from this program. I truly feel a "climb" actually happening now.
I'm so happy. But as a 30+ year fan, I'm also scared to be happy. Lol
That is a questionable moustache on Morton.
Torrid start, uncharacteristic for us. Love it. Williams is such a tough guard but if we play even with him in, I like us playing even with the big ogre.
There is nothing more cringe worthy than a Midwestern engineer with noodle arms doing the double arm pose.
Is there a reason this tourney is in Indy every year so Purdue and Indiana get home games?
Newman kid for Purdue can’t miss!
BTW, anyone else ready to punch Robbie Hummel in the face?
Didn't realize he was still playing.
Edey is so punchable, if I had a step ladder.
I've been trying to think of the word that describes Purdue. Smug. These MFers are smug. Please beat them.
5 to 0 in fouls and Ivey whining about a foul after he rode Sessoms like a donkey!
It’s 10:42 pm and BIG refs still suck!
Anyone else annoyed they keep showing the same old fat Purdue fans? At least show the cheerleaders or something.
Not as bad as IU fans.
Love the meaningless fouls on Purdue to make it look like an evenly called game.
Surprised they didn’t whistle us for Williams running into Ivey there.
F*** Purdue and their phucking phans!
Proud of this team. I don’t know how they can walk with that set of balls!
MICHIGAN STATE (BTT)
Seriously? Two sprains in 20 seconds!
Can we just forfeit so we can avoid any more injuries?
I'm hope the trainers brought spare ankles with them.
Edey is infallible. Never fouls, never gets called for 3 seconds.
Painter is one ugly MF!
Marble is a folding chair on D!
Ivey travels like a Mfer every ****ing time he has the ball - like Luka Garza levels of traveling. He dribbles 2 times for every 6 steps.
I just went and trimmed my nose hairs. I wanted to do something that I enjoy more than watching Purdue throw the ball into the post.
MSU has the worst big man recruiting and coaching in the conference and it’s obvious.
Just a huge talent difference. It's fun to make fun of Painter but he recruits.
Sucks because Purdue guys seem like a-holes.
Big ten didn’t want two low seeds in title game. Another predetermined thing. lol Doesn’t excuse the play but Jesus, these refs are making it so obvious.
Hope we have enough left in the tank for one more push.
They got Purdue in the bonus just in case.
There's always hope with Painter coaching.
Jaden Ivey definitely has the NBA thing down. Flop around and act hurt and like a tough guy hero after every play. Check.
Which one of the announcers is gonna deepthroat Ivey postgame?
Williams would literally be a perfect MSU player. Cannot believe Izzo let him slip away to ******** Purdue.
At least we know Purdue won’t make it out of next weekend so we don’t need to face their Monsanto GMO mutant squad again!
I want to crush PU so bad next year. I hate them so much, like almost as much as Michigan. I hope Franimal runs them out of the gym like they did to Northwestern.
YALE (NCAA TOURNAMENT)
We're dancing....it's House Money!
About what I expected. Would’ve thought we’d shoot better but there was 0 separation in 2md half and we couldn’t throw it in ocean after cutting to 9. Then they took foot off gas, and we looked gassed. Decent defense though as expected
Gabiddon summed it up. he had a tough one. Air mailed some 3s and had to guard a lightning quick guy who was hitting early from 30.
You might say, Ivey destroyed the Ivy League.
TEXAS (NCAA TOURNAMENT)
Well, Purdue’s coach is way overpaid, and he doesn’t hold a candle to the legendary Gene Keady. I’d say we have the coaching advantage.
Legendary piece of s**t! Legendary a**h***! Legendary slimeball! He is such a sorry excuse for a human being that I'd be ashamed to introduce him to your dog as a representative of the species. I would rather have had dinner with Howard Schnellenberger than be in the same room with Keady or his roommate.
Edey looks like the hybrid clone of Goliath and Andre the Giant!
This team needs to apply for their brick layer union cards.
With the exception of three point shooting, midrange shooting, and finishing at the rim, the offense is pretty solid.
Absolutely embarrassing that we are playing one of the worst defensive teams in the country and making them look like the best defensive team in the country. Quit shooting the stupid shots and drive to the basket.
I wonder when Beard is going to listen to the announcers and play from the inside out ? Let Bishop iso their big, if their bigs don’t get gassed.
I don’t think he’s listening to the broadcast.
Edey looks like he's shooting free throws with a ping-pong ball.
I’m not sure what’s more offensive to me. The lady swimmer from Penn or this 8’ foot center.
Ramey's low back got Williams right in the pills. Happened right in front of me. I winced!
That will take your legs out for a while.
It’s okay. Hopefully they swell and he’s out for the rest of the game.
Refs suck! They have a f**king agenda against Texas!
This is why Purdue is a tough out. Very few if any teams can match their bulk and skill down low, especially Williams. Very impressed with him.
The lady commentating wants to have his babies.
Get this game over with so they can stop showing Ivey’s mom.
Interesting whistle calling the foul on Bishop’s face for attacking the Boilermaker’s poor fragile elbow.
I'm sorry, but when one team has 42 free throw attempts and the other has just 12, I'm thinking something is off.
Hard to also win when there’s a +36 FT differential in favor of Purdue. Must be nice to get your balls licked by the refs.
Can’t do much when royal Ivey’s son goes god mode.
NORTH CAROLINA
Here is the downside of the coaches dressing ‘down’: Matt Painter looks like he should be sitting on the couch, watching NASCAR with a bowl of cheetos on his lap.
Refs are calling breathing fouls.
Russian dude is killing us!
Their hot shooter has a hair line like I do.....but I'm over 60.
Styles is athletic let him guard the Sfepnuidjehdj guy!
How long does the giant get to stand in the lane?
We have no one like Ivey. He’s too dang good.
Painter > HD
How do you guard those giants without fouling?
Apparently we ran out of tranquilizer darts too soon.
VILLANOVA
Not a basketball genius or anything but I think CMP wants them to move.
Purdue flashbacks? I don't have any recollection of ever playing Purdue... And neither do you...neither do you...neither do you...
Too easy for Edey. Sick of hearing his name.
I'm laughing because some people still can't figure out that you have almost no chance to beat teams like UCLA & Purdue this early in the season playing green freshmen. Put one in the game and the opposition instantly targets that player. I file this under the category of: Duh. Wake up!
Fast forward to the NCAA tournament with all the non-CG/JS/CD/JM players substantially improving from where they are now. Re-match with Purdue ... and Purdue also won't be able to count on Nova missing 87 free throws in two minutes. Game, set, and match ... imho.
I feel for the players. They played hard and had the game. Purdue had 10 guys play and nobody played more than 33 minutes. Moore, Samuels and CG went 38-40. Purdue had 69 bench minutes we had 25.
Villa-no-bench?
FLORIDA STATE
In danger of getting blown out - 27-14 boilermakers, they are 5-10 from deep.
I mean if they aren't gonna miss 3’s or get called for fouls, just end the game now.
Purdue gotta be shooting like 65%. They don’t f*cking miss!
9:20 left, Purdue in the Bonus. 7 FSU fouls to 1 this half.
I know it's not the reason we're gonna lose, but 2 fouls in 15 min is just stupid when you have a huge guy shoving everybody.
Purdue put up 93 points and I don’t think we played bad defense. That is the best team in the country.
Purdue just murdered us on national television in front of god and the whole Nation.
IOWA (HOME)
Look at these Purdoofuses!
All the engineers in the building and they can’t get a working horn!
Smash that MF to the floor Ogy! Since they are calling touch fouls, splatter the punks to the floor.
Good. Take his head off with a real foul and send a message. If we are going to get called anyway, we need to make it hurt.
Mackey is ALWAYS a "house of whores" - the refs suck hard there.
Edey, Lurch looking MF!
Is Rick Mount scheduled to speak at halftime? If so, we’ve got a shot…
Poison Ivy - Irritating little bastard!
Wait a F*cking minute! Is that Bo Borosky on the floor? That bastard hates the Fran and the Hawks. He has royally f*cked us for years! That Snake!
WTF!!?? Did they just say 7'4??!! I mean, c'mon!! What is this place? Some f-ing pre-flood haven for the Nephilim??
Eat Shit, Bardo! Gonna really put these bastards on the floor. We never were going to win this game. Might as well starts slamming them!
I HATE Purdue. I mean - u can't even find that trailer park on the map. Even with all the freakishly large people who run around there.
Doesn’t Williams have a Burger King to rob?
We need to turn into Bill Lambier and hurt some of them if the refs are going to do this shit!
Connor wants to test that big Goon. Ulis and Perkins will put quite a few punks on the floor writhing in pain in their Hawkeye careers.
Whenever people think about dishonest officiating, think tonight. Purdue is mugging on defense, like they've been doing for since Gene Keady arrived. There have been multiple obvious fouls not called. On the other hand Iowa is called for touch fouls.
Oh please Flopavic, get your b***h ass off the floor!
I don’t understand Pat and Conners form when they have two coaches for parents. It’s like their mom taught them a set shot.
Connor couldn't hit a barn if it collapsed on him....
Foul for being in the general vicinity of a rebounding Boilerquaker!
That’s the way it always goes at Macky. Those bastards always spank us!
NORTH CAROLINA STATE
So Purdue lost to Rutgers who is 5-4......guess they take that out on us? Or maybe we can pull another upset of the "Number 1" team.
So that's why Rutgers beat them; Purdue was obviously looking ahead to this game!
Barclay’s Center! They might rename that place the Bricklays Center by the time we are done with it.
Better play out of our minds to keep it close, maybe coach will see their big guys and get a big guy stiffy and go get us some big guys so we can develop a winning formula for NCAA tourney and ACC success.
Is Edey 8 feet tall? When I saw him in the huddle I wondered when I missed the return of the Nephilim.. Ebe looks like a child next to him.
Is this Purdue or Indiana-Purdue?
Purdue looks like we do when we’ve phoned it in over the years.
#50 (Stefanovic) has 3 kids and is on his 2nd mortgage.
He's been there since the Berlin wall went down.
I just drove through northern Indiana listening to this on the radio. And I wanted to report that Indiana still ****ing sucks. It’s like the most depressing place in the country. I hope we win and make it worse.
Purdue’s behemoth had his foot literally on the out of bounds line. Not allowed, Hayes has to have space.
That boy looks like he's been drinking Mongolian horse milk.
That was the most awkward 2.1 seconds in the history of basketball.
With those last 5 seconds there, the Basketball Hall of Fame has to be proud to have their logo on the court for that fine display of Basketball IQ and execution!
Ugh... I'm concerned. Purdue's coach may eventually wake up and tell them to give the ball to Williams every time down the court.
They suck us in to rip out our heart!
I think the announcer just ejaculated!
22 point collapse. We are NC State.
BUTLER
This team is the Murphy’s Law of college basketball.
Butler is increasing Ivey’s draft stock at the moment.
It’s embarrassing that we look like we are the little sibling just trying hang out with our older siblings. We are back to Butler basketball days where we just trying to be respectable against Power 5 schools.
Did Jim Jackson just say that Oscar Robertson went to high school just down the street at “Corpus Christy”?? Or did I hear that wrong?
One game closer to hiring a new coach?
PENN STATE (AWAY)
Purdue is not playing their best ball right now. Hopefully they will take one more game off before they wake up and play to their ability. If they continue their weak play and PSU plays to top of their ability, than PSU will pull an upset.
Our transfer guys are better than theirs.
There it goes! Edey with 3 fouls before the half. Williams has 2 at the moment as well, so Purdue may be giving us some more room to operate if we can press them inside.
Very winnable…you can see the energy in the team.
A box and 1 defense! Throwing it all at them.
Gotta love Harrar. Now Edey has four fouls and Williams three.
At this point I don't care if we win or lose but I love Shrews and this team!!! I don't know how many noticed, but Shrews called a timeout, I believe when we got down by 12, since then we made our comeback. This is a real coach, folks!! Team is playing hard. Let's go!!!!
That Purdue team is loaded. And relentless on D. PSU gave it a helluva go.
We had a shot but the refs and number 50 too much to overcome. Our cheerleaders were awful at half, too.
NEBRASKA (HOME)
Mackey is LOUD. What an atmosphere!
Just imagine how loud it gets when they're not playing the worst team in the conference.
Boilers will be in the bonus before the National Anthem is done. Walker already with 2 fouls.
6 fouls in 3 minutes and 4 turnovers.
Matt Painter could suit up for us, and we’d instantly be a better rebounding team.
Zach Edey being able to run a sub-six minute mile at 7-4, 300 pounds is the most impressive athletic feat I have ever heard.
Good news: Purdue's defense seems optional at times. Bad news: Purdue is awesome offensively.
That’s it…. I’m walking on. Who’s coming with me?
For how poorly this game started, Nebraska has made some plays. They’re no longer completely overwhelmed, they’re just whelmed.
Really struggling to find positives. I guess we've settled down, and I don't think we will lose by more than 35 now.
Wow. Purdue may just want to run a black/gold scrimmage in the 2nd half to get more of a workout. We are utterly helpless.
Painter complaining about calls when his team was in the bonus 3 minutes into each half. Read the room guy.
Finally getting to the point in the game where it starts to look like a half-assed scrimmage. Judging from results, I assume this is normally how we practice, so we should excel the rest of the way.
I didn't buy enough NyQuil to get through this season.
Could have sworn in that last miked up moment, Painter said," Let's Go Brandon."
ILLINOIS (AWAY)
I'm betting we see a little Curbelo sprinkled in throughout the game as a change of pace.
We need Curbelo back not only for his value as an excellent basketball player, but also for his swagger and overall theatrical value for the benefit of national audiences.
Because the short walk to the Hall across St. Mary's Road from the I Hotel involves negotiating just about as much traffic as Boroski can handle without completely depleting his cognitive faculties for the week.
What is best in life? TO CRUSH YOU ENEMIES, SEE THEM DRIVEN BEFORE YOU, AND TO HEAR THE LAMENTATION OF THEIR WOMEN. Okay. Let's do that to Purdon't.
Purdue playing physical. Literally punching us in the mouth. Ok, it was an elbow from Edey, but still. Gotta be tough mentally and physically.
How does PU have 0 fouls more than 10 minutes into this game?
11 straight for Purdue! Edey is unstoppable.
I could be unstoppable if I never got called for a foul.
Who put the lid on our basket?
There’s cold and then there’s dry ice!
I did underestimate Edey significantly. He's the best player on the floor and it's not close. This difference between when he's in the game vs out of the game is startling.
Dumb play by Kofi, to be honest. When you have 3 this early, you can't be that aggressive.
Well, he probably thought he only had three seeing as he was called for a ridiculous third foul.
The refs put sand in the Vaseline as they’re putting it to us like I’ve never seen. We have 11 PF to their 6, and a couple have been beyond atrocious.
When did Bardo become a Purdue shilll????
Sasha and his newborn hair drive me nuts!
Stefanodic has moved up to #2 most punchable face in the B1G, behind only Mulcahey!
Purdue is a good team and made some clutch shots. That Stefanovic was irritatingly terrific.
That was an incredible showing. I've said enough about the officiating in my text messages today, so I'll spare you all, but we're the best team in the league and proved it today.
NORTHWESTERN (HOME)
No Ivey today.
IU beat the sh#* out of him. And pretty much every other Purdue player.
Still a very tall task, but Ivey being out gives a chance. How does Purdue always have a ten-foot-tall center on the roster?
Stefanovic is a punk. I don't know in what world that's not an offensive foul on him. To call that on Berry as he was flung to the ground is inexcusable.
NU actually shot pretty well for once, but Purdue shot even better. And they dominated the boards.
IOWA (AWAY)
Williams has 2 buckets and 2 pushoffs.
Why is Conner allowed to shoot? Oh yeah, daddy!
What does Patrick Mac shoot from 3?
Bricks!
Whoever keeps leaving Sasha, DON’T!!!
Is Rebbeka hurt . . . or just owned by Purdue’s front line?
I cant believe Purdue keeps making these wide open 3's.
It's a mystery!
Edey made some great space with the elbow to the head.
Iowa’s best chance to win is for Fran to get ejected.
Honestly, all we need to do is have Fran tell an assistant to grab a random fan from the stands and have him run out and throw a spinning elbow strike to Ivey right in the f***ing face and take him out for the rest of the game, and we should totally come back and win!
We got it close when Purdue got bored. They re-focused.
Crazy stat of the night is that Purdue is shooting 59% from three and 44% from the foul line.
Just when you thought you couldn't hate Covid any MORE.... Remember it brought us our Super Seniors!
Warm up the tractors and hit the exits hawkeye fans. This one’s over.
Is there a coach portal? Asking for a Fran.
I want Purdue's coach instead of Squinty.
Pass me the rustiest bread knife you have so I can stab both my eyes out! I need a shot!!
OHIO STATE (HOME)
Nice to see a arena that doesn’t sound like a funeral home lobby.
Not a ton of options in West Lafayette on a cold Sunday.
I'm sick of Purdue always having guys that are 8 feet tall!
Edey dunking is like the Abominable Snow Monster putting a star atop the Xmas tree.
Edey is Frankenstein and just stumbles into bail out calls.
I looked away. Must've been Edey loosing his dribble and an official immediately calling a foul just in case there was contact.
The most punchable face in college basketball. Stefanovich!
Davison says "hello" from Wisconsin.
9 fouls to 3. A tale as old as time.
Someone tweet @kyleyoung to stop shooting 3's!
Done. He said shut the hell up.
Sweep his ****ing leg! Sh*t, do something with that Yao Ming f*cker!
We have no answer for Lurch inside.
Zed has 3 fouls, Purdue has three fouls. I turned the game on and the officials called a foul on me for looking at Edey.
Someone needs to just knee Edey in the nuts.
Win or lose that's an incredible comeback. Holy shit! We might actually pull this off...
Boom! Jaden Ivey is a stud!
I am still sitting here stunned this game isn't going to OT. That is exactly what you wanted them to shoot a long contested 3 and it goes swiss - really stunning!
Ouch. I’ll be so happy when Ivey moves on!
2 GD years in a row!!
There’s no goddamn way West Lafayette is built upon anything other than a mass Indian burial ground…..
MINNESOTA (AWAY)
"Edey is the latest in a long line of 7-footer success stories under Purdue coach Matt Painter. But the first but team to offer a scholarship, when Edey was all raw talent in Toronto, was the Gophers."
I can only imagine the raucous applause for Pitino’s recruiting if he’d secured a commitment from a big man ranked in the 400’s from out of state with scant few other offers while Garcia, Dainja, Carlson, and Crowl went elsewhere.
Really can't see any way the guys from West Lafayette have any chance in this one… this is gonna be a easy W for the U!
Let's make Camden Heide flip his college choice tonight.
Was that the most overt travel of all time by Ivey or am I missing something?
No wonder they have the most efficient offense. Dribbling is optional.
Painter whining for every call -taller version of Izzo.
Frakking Ivey!!
I will need to spend the half freebasing.
Can't guard their bigs without a whistle being blown. This is a garbage product. They can throw elbows and lean on us but we can't touch!
Williams might be a psycho but man can he pass!
Too bad they let Hunter in the Barn. A difference maker tonite and the game of his career.
Maybe Painter can loan us Williams until the BIG tourney?
MICHIGAN (HOME)
They’re not going to call Edey simply pushing?
I predict Michigan won’t win if it doesn’t hit any baskets.
2 air balls. Yikes!!
Purdue has 6 guys who can hit 3s. Michigan has no guys who can even hit the rim from 3.
You know it’s bad when Purdue Pete is hitting up the griddy on the baseline during timeouts…smh!
Nearly 16 minutes gone and not a single foul on Purdue yet? What's that foul smell?
Pretty grating when Edey is an absolute goon who gets away with the exact kind of fouls that Dickinson consistently gets called for.
College basketball is so much more fun when your team is knocking down threes!
I guess when your opponent is a literal Ent, anyone can become a stretch five.
I don’t think I have ever seen a college basketball game with no fouls on one team for an entire half. F*** these refs.
If you watched Hunter, he has (smartly) totally backed off of D once the ball is being run at the basket in the paint and that Ent they have playing for Purdue should've been called for a couple of brutal charges and back-downs on Hunter.
Refs swallowed their whistles. Does Mackey Arena have a radiologist on duty to perform x-rays?
We've seen nearly 24 minutes of basketball, and Purdue has yet to be called for a foul. BS!
Then they call a ticky tack foul on Purdue 30 feet from the basket.
My guess is the official was next to the announcers when they clarified that Purdue has committed ZERO fouls!
One damn foul on Purdue in 28+ minutes of this game.
Do the Boilermakers players bring their Moms to Mackey arena? I sure do smell some major home cookin' today!
We go from no fouls called to fouls on 4 straight possessions.
Well, they ain't calling them on Purdue, they gotta call 'em on some team!
Cry me a river, Purdue fans, that was a clear charge!
Hey, Purdue, payback is a bitch.
Michigan and the refs did a good job of beating Michigan today.
Purdue's got a lot of weapons, size, shooting and athleticism. Tough team. Imagine if Painter could recruit...
Let’s face, we are a mediocre team this year. Let’s of shiny parts that don’t function well together.
ILLINOIS (HOME)
Let's go! Let's control our destiny!
We will withstand the slings and arrows of inept refing and an elbow swinging bigfoot creature to go 11-2 in the B1G and climb up the brackets ladder.....
The crowd is up for us. They know we bring DOOOOOOOM!!
Orange Crush wearing "Pur-Dump" shirts!
WTF is an Ethan Morton?
Purdue always has some annoying white player on their team that has such a punchable face. This years Purdue team like 5 of them.
Raise your hand if you’ve heard of Ethan Morton. Smh!
Changed his name from Hart.
WTF is a Hart Morton?
Harkens back to a Purdue nobody that scored 25 on us when his name wasn't even in the score book.
14-0 run for the Boilers. Ay carumba!
I really liked this game a lot better when we were ahead and not turning it over constantly. Lets get back to that pretty please!
Watching Curbelo is like viewing a recursive sin-and-redemption show.
Punchable face annoying white guy Stavanovic or however you spell his stupid name is in the game. We must be on him like flies on poop!
How old is Stefanobi$%h? He drawing Social Security yet?
What a dumb clock. Come on engineer school, add a decimal point.
It takes 3 Purdue engineers to change a scoreboard light bulb. One to hold the bulb, and two to turn the ladder.
Curbelo 94 feet in 4 seconds!
We're leading! Wow!
First half summary: 5 min. of all Illini before they left the floor for a 10 min. break to let PU have layup practice and then came back out to make Plummer an All-American.
THIS TEAM IS NOT FAZED BY THIS CROWD. BOILERS GONNA RUN OUT OF STEAM. WE ARE CLEARLY THE BETTER TEAM!
Here we go again...down 6.
No worries. Purdue gives away leads like it does degrees.
We’re getting our butts kicked in the second half.
Looks like I picked a bad night to stop drinking a fifth of Jack with Prozac shooters.
Kofi is just a shell of himself against Purdue this year.
Ivey is a punk. I look forward to him failing in the league.
This is like the car accident that you put up sheets so you can't see the casualties.
Kofi played well. Edey is a giant, lumbering, trash talking, unathletic slab of human flesh.
That sucked. I find Purdue to be just as dislikable as Indiana and Iowa.
From 15 minutes left on, I had a whole new appreciation for what it was like to have another team's star take over. I didn't care for it
Humble pie. We are good. We just saw what elite looks like.
Purdue will lose at Michigan on Thursday. Just wait. They still have by far the most talent in the conference.
Ivey Ayo'd us. It was fun to watch him play; I just wish it hadn't been against us.
They spent all their money for shot clocks on a device that shimmies the rim through a remote control when we shoot.
MARYLAND (HOME)
Terps starting hot. Is that allowed!?!
Best 12 minutes I’ve seen Fatts play all year.
Pretty sure that if Edey took off his jersey, we’d discover that he’s actually one guy sitting on another guy’s shoulders.
The B1G employs the worst refs in CBB — it’s a liability that actually impacts how they do in the NCAAT because they have to adjust their play to it.
Another scoring drought to end the first half, but we’re still in the game. (I would love to know what Fatts said to draw that technical foul).
He yelled at Martinez to "Pass the 'Effing Ball!" and it hurt the refs feelings…
These Refs are in Painter's pocket....
12-0 run! Terps opening a can of whoop ass to start the second half. LOL
The Broiler crowd is stunned.
Nine of Purdue’s points are NBA range threes from that 40 year old dude.
I pity the team who will draft Ivey. This dude is a trash can like everyone who has ever come from Purdue.
If someone would have told me that the Terps would be down by one with 3 minutes left in this game, I would have asked them to take a breathalyzer test…
And I would have failed!
Painter wants a do-over because his guys are stupid!
This is an example of why you don't foul up 3.
BLEW IT!!!!
Terrible Play. Danny Manning is awful! Give the ball to Fatts with the game on the line! Manning sucks!
Choking dogs! No such thing as a moral victory. Manning is incompetent.
NORTHWESTERN (AWAY)
23 days in a row without a day off! Hello, NCAA, I believe we have infractions on Purdue. I think this means Northwestern wins 100-0.
God, I love the human cold bucket of water that is Ryan Young in the post. It’s ugly, it shouldn’t belong, you don’t enjoy it, and later on it’ll bite us in the ass, but in the meantime it works. God bless him.
Dear God, Edey brought rain with that free throw!
HEY LOOK GOOD BALL MOVEMENT ends in a Beran three! Greer at the point! Who is to say why these things happen!
I love our bench, TBH. Play hard, show flashes and generally don’t do the same dumb sh*t we see from several of our starters on offense.
A guy just proposed on the video screen. She said yes!
Surprised Chase didn’t foul him before he got the question off.
Can she shoot the three?
A student just made a half court shot at halftime!
What’s his +/-?
Put him in the game!
Ry just overcooks the finish. Then Purdue has some random sh*theel hit a three. Because why f*cking wouldn’t they?
Maybe a little overstated but who’s returning more players next year? When I look at the rest of the conference, I don’t see a lot of teams bringing back their best players.
Iowa will finally say goodbye to the Skinny White Metronome of Open Shot Death, Jordan Bohannon, but they will return most of the players from a team that is starting to play some good basketball.
But keep in mind Collins can always figure out a way to minimize whatever talent he does have.
RUTGERS (HOME)
But we always seem to play Purdue well, and Purdue has played a lot of games lately and have not looked all that great.
Stefanovic drains a 3 from the illegal Edey screen.
I have a love/hate relationship with Cliff. Love the thunderous dunks (especially posterizing that big Purdue oaf) but some of the things that he does are truly head-scratching. Putting your fingers in another man’s face is just dumb.
I’m starting to really dislike Purdue!
What a bull shit call AGAIN! The refs are in Matt Painter’s pants trying to keep him happy.
Gillis walks and no call! Eff big ten and ACC refs.
Rutgers called for 16 fouls, Purdue 9.
Purdue commits an average of 15 turnovers last 3 games. Only 5 tonight. Lol
Has Stefanovic been at Purdue for 6 yrs?
Stefanovic about 44 yrs old.
I guess we deserved that. Four game win streak against Purdue, half court buzzer beater that took away their first ever #1 ranking. Purdue got their revenge. They wanted it and they got it.
INDIANA (HOME)
Sweeping them this year would be hilarious: Painter should resign on the spot if that happens. Ivey should have at least one foot out the door, and the Basketball Gods' March curse on the PUkes can only help IU.
Anyone else think Edey looks like Purdue Pete?
No, Purdue Pete looks much handsomer and smarter.
We haven't made the tournament in 5 long seasons. The sixth season is sitting on the brink, one game left before postseason play. We have a chance to play our way back into the NCAA Tournament! We have a chance to beat Purdue! We have a chance to watch Porky the Pig over on Purdue's sidelines look hapless as we beat him on his floor! We have a chance to shut up that stupid, worthless chant from their dumb students who couldn't get into IU! We have a chance to FOREVER put a big fat stain on what is one of the best seasons in their sad programs pathetic history! We have a chance to tell @Stlboiler23 for the next ~330 days that we swept their sorry team from that smelly cow town! PISS ON THE BOILERS! BEAT THE DAMN TOILETMAKERS!!!!
I’m very comfortable with Ethan Morton shooting as much as he wants. He’d fit in with our roster.
I take it back, announcers are so far up Purdue’s ass they can’t smell West Lafayette.
Fife and that clown coach going at it on the bench. Why? Because he’s a clown.
I hope TJD goes to the restroom and finds his manhood for the 2nd half. He looked scared to death and lost.
Hopefully the Xanax wears off at half for Trayce. Dude has brought almost nothing.
For your information, I need Xanax.
This gets uglier than the fatties in the Painter crew.
Think I’ve officially seen the dumbest play in IU history by Race Thompson. Then Geronimo omg!!
This is their trick. They will call a flurry against IU. Then when the game is out of reach they call some against Purdue so the overall balance looks reasonable in the end. Book it.
DUI Man hacked X on that layup attempt: it's Mackey.
Now, we know he was wrongly accused. Just like French Fry Guy!
Channeling his inner Yogi, XJ is.
And there it is. Settling for quick shots that become bricks lead to quick and easy points for PU. It’s shit the bed time for IU. It’s as predictable as the sun rising.
2 fouls on PU in second half, lol.
Mackey is the place where shitty Big 10 reffing was born.
Purdue is soft. They've only committed 5 fouls in the game.
Dumb as a Bag of Mud Covered Bricks. End of game execution has been horrible all year.
I believe Mud Covered Bricks were what everybody but Kopp was putting up from 3 point range today.
Everybody knows Lander is better than Ivey. If only Lander could have played, we’d have won. Book it!
PENN STATE (BTT)
Purdue was not ready for the triangle and 2.
No matter what... exciting to see some good coaching... some passion... and some FIGHT from this program. I truly feel a "climb" actually happening now.
I'm so happy. But as a 30+ year fan, I'm also scared to be happy. Lol
That is a questionable moustache on Morton.
Torrid start, uncharacteristic for us. Love it. Williams is such a tough guard but if we play even with him in, I like us playing even with the big ogre.
There is nothing more cringe worthy than a Midwestern engineer with noodle arms doing the double arm pose.
Is there a reason this tourney is in Indy every year so Purdue and Indiana get home games?
Newman kid for Purdue can’t miss!
BTW, anyone else ready to punch Robbie Hummel in the face?
Didn't realize he was still playing.
Edey is so punchable, if I had a step ladder.
I've been trying to think of the word that describes Purdue. Smug. These MFers are smug. Please beat them.
5 to 0 in fouls and Ivey whining about a foul after he rode Sessoms like a donkey!
It’s 10:42 pm and BIG refs still suck!
Anyone else annoyed they keep showing the same old fat Purdue fans? At least show the cheerleaders or something.
Not as bad as IU fans.
Love the meaningless fouls on Purdue to make it look like an evenly called game.
Surprised they didn’t whistle us for Williams running into Ivey there.
F*** Purdue and their phucking phans!
Proud of this team. I don’t know how they can walk with that set of balls!
MICHIGAN STATE (BTT)
Seriously? Two sprains in 20 seconds!
Can we just forfeit so we can avoid any more injuries?
I'm hope the trainers brought spare ankles with them.
Edey is infallible. Never fouls, never gets called for 3 seconds.
Painter is one ugly MF!
Marble is a folding chair on D!
Ivey travels like a Mfer every ****ing time he has the ball - like Luka Garza levels of traveling. He dribbles 2 times for every 6 steps.
I just went and trimmed my nose hairs. I wanted to do something that I enjoy more than watching Purdue throw the ball into the post.
MSU has the worst big man recruiting and coaching in the conference and it’s obvious.
Just a huge talent difference. It's fun to make fun of Painter but he recruits.
Sucks because Purdue guys seem like a-holes.
Big ten didn’t want two low seeds in title game. Another predetermined thing. lol Doesn’t excuse the play but Jesus, these refs are making it so obvious.
Hope we have enough left in the tank for one more push.
They got Purdue in the bonus just in case.
There's always hope with Painter coaching.
Jaden Ivey definitely has the NBA thing down. Flop around and act hurt and like a tough guy hero after every play. Check.
Which one of the announcers is gonna deepthroat Ivey postgame?
Williams would literally be a perfect MSU player. Cannot believe Izzo let him slip away to ******** Purdue.
At least we know Purdue won’t make it out of next weekend so we don’t need to face their Monsanto GMO mutant squad again!
I want to crush PU so bad next year. I hate them so much, like almost as much as Michigan. I hope Franimal runs them out of the gym like they did to Northwestern.
YALE (NCAA TOURNAMENT)
We're dancing....it's House Money!
About what I expected. Would’ve thought we’d shoot better but there was 0 separation in 2md half and we couldn’t throw it in ocean after cutting to 9. Then they took foot off gas, and we looked gassed. Decent defense though as expected
Gabiddon summed it up. he had a tough one. Air mailed some 3s and had to guard a lightning quick guy who was hitting early from 30.
You might say, Ivey destroyed the Ivy League.
TEXAS (NCAA TOURNAMENT)
Well, Purdue’s coach is way overpaid, and he doesn’t hold a candle to the legendary Gene Keady. I’d say we have the coaching advantage.
Legendary piece of s**t! Legendary a**h***! Legendary slimeball! He is such a sorry excuse for a human being that I'd be ashamed to introduce him to your dog as a representative of the species. I would rather have had dinner with Howard Schnellenberger than be in the same room with Keady or his roommate.
Edey looks like the hybrid clone of Goliath and Andre the Giant!
This team needs to apply for their brick layer union cards.
With the exception of three point shooting, midrange shooting, and finishing at the rim, the offense is pretty solid.
Absolutely embarrassing that we are playing one of the worst defensive teams in the country and making them look like the best defensive team in the country. Quit shooting the stupid shots and drive to the basket.
I wonder when Beard is going to listen to the announcers and play from the inside out ? Let Bishop iso their big, if their bigs don’t get gassed.
I don’t think he’s listening to the broadcast.
Edey looks like he's shooting free throws with a ping-pong ball.
I’m not sure what’s more offensive to me. The lady swimmer from Penn or this 8’ foot center.
Ramey's low back got Williams right in the pills. Happened right in front of me. I winced!
That will take your legs out for a while.
It’s okay. Hopefully they swell and he’s out for the rest of the game.
Refs suck! They have a f**king agenda against Texas!
This is why Purdue is a tough out. Very few if any teams can match their bulk and skill down low, especially Williams. Very impressed with him.
The lady commentating wants to have his babies.
Get this game over with so they can stop showing Ivey’s mom.
Interesting whistle calling the foul on Bishop’s face for attacking the Boilermaker’s poor fragile elbow.
I'm sorry, but when one team has 42 free throw attempts and the other has just 12, I'm thinking something is off.
Hard to also win when there’s a +36 FT differential in favor of Purdue. Must be nice to get your balls licked by the refs.
Can’t do much when royal Ivey’s son goes god mode.
