Never ready to play in big games. Can't inspire anyone. Same old story.

Against Michigan State last year at home? The only truly big game he won last year.
could not agree more, not prepared, no game plan, lets other teams dictate the style of play
You forgot to mention he never makes the right adjustments at half-time.
All the rest of the country can talk about is how great a job that Painter did coaching. Some of you must really feel stupid.
I think you meant "posterity"
As a military guy, you must have special appreciation for those who fly off the handle in a stressful situation. Such an admirable quality in any individual!
Ha true story!I think you meant "posterity"

Haha if they were realists they would come here and acknowledge how stupid they sounded. They aren't though. They are largely just miserable people who are only happy when they have something to be unhappy about.
Painter made adjustments better than I have ever seen. He sat Haas who was just getting outmatched and went with a smaller lineup. Dicky V even said the adjustment won the game. I am critical of Painter, but he did an incredible job. The guys came out at halftime and you could see the difference. They were playing defense better and they were more aggressive. This was a very good sign to give hope for a tournament run. They didn't collapse at the end.
That's why I quit posting until after the game.
Personally I think CMP has made some great strides this recent offseason. I don't know what he did, but he is a different coach and is making really good decisions with adjusting and seems more animated towards the officials. Keep it up CMP!
you have to play 40 minutes. we had iowa down 19 early in second half and lost. this game we hung in due to painters adjustments.
I think the problem is that Painter can make great halftime adjustments, but he doesn't seem to make good adjustments during games. That is how we get down my 20 points so many times the last few years, because he can't stop those runs until halftime. He often has good game plans going into games, then the opposing coach makes halftime adjustments when we are beating them badly at halftime, they come back, we can't counter without a halftime break, and we fold. Iowa, Cincinnati, Little Rock, etc. are all good examples. I have seen him come in with lots of good game plans and halftime adjustments over the years, but I don't think he does well at changing the course of a game in the heat of the moment.
Much better intensity and focus in the second half also.
IH had to sit, and CS did great avoiding that foul #4 early.
(Reminds me some of the Kramer/Hummel games when we flip a switch mentally at half, get yelled at, etc)
Critical win in the non conf for seeding later in the year!

Come on OP - and the three losers who "liked" the fire painter mantra...get back on here and admit you don't know jack.
Too the fellas making comments about the "negative nancys", the first half played out like every first half we've seen for a long time and we all expected it to continue in the second half, it was nice to finally see a good outcome...kudos to Painter for making adjustments and kudos to Vince Edwards for playing the way he is capable, a good W that we all knew they were capable of...it's a good feeling and we all hope confidence is building! BTFU!
I wouldn't say I expected to win the game after the first half, but I definitely thought it was possible. It turned out to be a great one!
Heard there was a run on diaper pins at halftime. Too bad the first posters on here couldn't leave their safe spaces to post retractions.
Agreed. At half time my 11 year old daughter turned to me on the couch and asked with a sad face if I just wanted to turnoff the TV. My response was "Why? Purdue is going to win!" I knew Purdue was a better team and just had a bad first half while nd played above average. Ironically during half time of the Iowa game i said the same thing when Purdue was up (but that Purdue was going to lose) because the boilers had a false hope of hitting an uncharacteristicly high rate of 3s in the first half.
Now I'm not claiming to be able to predict the future but most of us have seen enough basketball to have a reasonable expectation for Purdue to put themselves in a position to win this game.
All of the negative fools need to stop using this forum to incessantly complain so the rest of us can talk basketball. I know this won't happen because that's what they are...fools.
Well congrats , maybe u should get an infomercial and sell ur wisdom to the masses, because anybody who watched that first half could expect nothing than a solid effort that would fall short following a quick second half foul from Swaigan and a bunch of unforced turnovers, but conceed in the end, the four or five of u that bully the rest of the people on this website are all knowing.... I respect two of the all knowing groupo, Dakota Girl and Mathboy, the rest are just a bunch of "I told u so's, your opinions don't matter around here"....

What's respectable about people who can't even hold off until the end of a game to come on here and start complaining about things? Did I think Purdue was going to come back and win at halftime? No. Did I come on here and start trashing the program when things looked a little bleak? No. That's the difference between the two groups.
Thank you. Bully? I just stated that not all of us felt that way. Most of you nancy's really stepped in it today....not my fault. Don't worry, I'm sure PU will lose again..........and you and your cronies' over the top comments will again flood this forum.
There are so many DBs on here that probably have never picked up a basketball. They sit in their Mom's basement, yell at the TV, and have it all figured out. They bitch and moan about everything Painter does. They then disappear after a huge win. It would be nice if they would go away forever. They said Painter would never get Eastern. Painter did, then they shut up until we lost to Louisville. Here they come again. Painter won't beat a top twenty team on a neutral court. Painter did. You should wait until the game is over to hit send. You look like idiots.
I didn't post here during the game....I watched and hoped like many....my point remains thou
Thanks for proving my point TC, I didn't post during the game either, but just like YOU, I didn't expect them to win after that first half effort...glad they did, not anti Painter, just get tired of people attcking the pessimists given our recent track record, wouldn't be here if I didn't give a shit, just wish a few would stop disregarding everyone's opinion that doesn't fit their agenda!
