Correct me if I'm wrong but since Painter has been at Purdue....

haven't we played road games at Valpo, Ball State, Indiana State and Evansville. Not sure why people are acting like it is such a big deal for Crean to go play a game at IPFW where he knows the crowd will be 2/3 or more cheering for him.

what was funny last night, was a lot of the time that Blackmon shot the ball and either got rejected or lost it, he would look at the ref assuming the ref would save his butt with a foul call. I guess they blame that on being in a hostile area, but never saw the phantom fouls he was wanting called

I really wish the Boilers would come play IPFW. After last night that probably isn't likely!!

The Butler game was at Bankers Life.

That makes me remember how Damon Bailey would always drive to the hoop ,try to hit one over a bigger guy,then look at the ref ,while waiting for him to blow the whistle.,

In 2001 my cousin who was raised a rabid Loosier came to my house with his son to hunt with me. Happened that IU was playing SIU in Carbondale that weekend so I got us tickets. He was sure mighty IU would easily whip the lowly Salukis. Not so fast my friends!!! SIU won by 12. Made my day.

FW's coach made a big deal of it so they will come back again soon. The Hoosier faithful have latched onto that as a way save face and to pump up the tan one. Reasonable guy needed new material for his spank bank.

I loved the one late under the basket when he was cleanly blocked about three different defenders and just stood there in bewilderment staring at the ref. Just couldn't grasp what was happening to them.

...and the ref would do it. It was like an employee kissing the ass of the bosses son just to stay in good graces.

Not likely they ever do it again with this news:

In Blackmons defense with the current way that referees are officiating I rarely know when there will be a call and what it will be. You look dumb if you expect to get a call but I have been disappointed by early officiating and their consistency.

True. The solution is to not stand around with your arms up and an indignant look on your face like an NFL wide receiver. I don't like when our guys beg for calls either. Just play ball.
