Butler v. Purdue Game Thread (Crossroads Classic 2021)

[Boileratthebeach]

Anyone else’s fees continue to freeze? I’m on cable and it’s been getting stuck the entire game…

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Zachen - with two defenders draped all over him - no problemo!

58-28, Purdue - bury the Crossroads Curse in fine fashion!

 

[Tommaker]

There's getting beat, and there's getting beat with a Super Max chrome plated 240 volt fully charged double ugly stick.

This is the latter.

 

[purduepat1969]

I don't care whether Butler's guards aren't as athletic. To hold them to 28 points at this point in the game is showing me Purdue's playing much improved D...

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

It stings! Pass to Gillis.

 

[TX4GB]

Unless Matt no longer sees Newman in his plans, he better give his some minutes with this lead.

Think he will be in at the 10:00 minute mark.

 

[Schnelk]

I like all this spice rather than any of that old sauce!

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

I like all this spice rather than any of that old sauce!

Yes - the only sauce today is Bo's weak stuff.

 

[tjreese]

That was sweet! Furst to Ivey back to Furst.....bucket!

It looked like Jaden committed before Caleb broke free. Thought he was going to Zach until it found Caleb. Other than handling the ball, Jaden is playing well

 

[purduepat1969]

This game is ova. Snooze fest now.

It'd be over sooner if Painter wasn't a mediocre coach...🤣

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Newman back in - hope the team can get him going.

 

[jgranate]

Can't believe that's Butler's first foul.

 

[purduepat1969]

No foul on Edey???

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Wow.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Masonator is rock solid from the line.

 

[boiler-deuce]

It'd be over sooner if Painter wasn't a mediocre coach...🤣

So, you can be funny? There's hope for you yet.

 

[Schnelk]

Nice play. Edey passing like Tre.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Bo swallows his whistle there - color me shocked, not.

 

[BoilerGal74]

Painter just put Treyin….with 4🙈

Good practice I guess….

Like tre coming back in. Let's see how he does with 4 fouls

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

What a feed from Big Cat to Mason Gillis for two FT's.

 

[purduepat1969]

Tre dropping dimes...

 

[TX4GB]

Gillis automatic FTs

 

[Zaphod_B]

Can't believe that's Butler's first foul.

It wasn't.. Just the first called. I

 

[Schnelk]

Tre is just a fantastic passer!

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Tre dropping dimes...

And keeping change for fries later.

 

[wallyboiler79]

Masonator is rock solid from the line.

Yes. Love watching Gillis shoot free throws.

 

[Schnelk]

Furst cleans it up!

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Nice fake from Brandon Newman - just not falling right now. Great probe from Tre to make the defender come toward him.

Jaden Ivey - wow.....another as he is in the unmentionable word - ZONE today!

 

[NashvilleBoiler]

If ya don’t know…now ya know.

 

[Schnelk]

Ivey drills another! 5 for 5!

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Jaden Ivey! Wow!

He got somethin today.....

 

[purduepat1969]

Inefficient chucker...if only we'd have Lander instead...

 

[Schnelk]

Make that 6 for 6!

 

[SIBoiler2]

Unless they get a lot better before the season is over I don't see Butler as a "good" win this season.

 

[boiler-deuce]

@Purdue Grad in Texas, are you going to start a IU vs Notre Dame game thread for SAG.🤣

 

[TX4GB]

He likes playing in this gym. Nudge nudge.. Pacers GM.

 

[OhioBoiler51]

Unless they get a lot better before the season is over I don't see Butler as a "good" win this season.

Neutral court will help. They get healthy and they’ll be lower middle of the Big East with Wheelers St Johns squad

 

[boilercss]

Poor Newman...just can't get a shot to fall

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Butler is shorthanded, but they couldn't get out of the way and off the tracks today.
