Lots of sour grapes....

[typeviic]

LOTS of sour grapes by Marquette fans on YT highlight vids. "If they didn't have Edey blah blah blah", "Edey was in the lane for 8 seconds (he wasn't) on Smith's miss tip-in blah blah", "Marquette is still better Purdue blah blah blah". Simply unreal.

 

[RossMackey]

Buckle up for the hate-fest, fellow Boilermakers… we will be hearing this all winter long.

 

[Gemini95]

"if team X didn't have player Y they wouldn't be as good" is the most R-word-ed argument ever and I can't believe people are making it after every game.

 

[pboiler18]

Marquette has fans? Weird.

 

[Dryfly88]

If every other fan base hates you, it means you're winning. I love it!

 

[Boiler Buck]

Marquette is a great team. Why can't people understand that doesn't preclude that Purdue is also great? Both can be true.

 

[ChoiceBeef]

I would say Marquette was the most tame of all the fanbases we played.

Speaking of hate for Purdue - enjoy the mental gymnastics. Apparently Purdue only wins because our opponents have off nights.

 

[RDUBoiler]

I'll take the hate of every college basketball fan base in the country and eat it for breakfast while I'm reading about the fact that we are the number one team in the country after beating three of the top eleven other teams.

Who cares! Not giving that discourse any energy.

Let's not act like this is anything new. Losing diehards can get big mad, just like we can.

I can't go to my 6th grade daughter's game without hearing the same crap from parents on both sides.

I watch Edeys feet on most offensive possessions and he takes deliberate care to keep one out after 3 from what I have watched

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

I eat loser tears for breakfast!

Have to have both feet out I believe. 3 second count continues if one foot still in. A move toward a scoring stops the 3 second count. The count continues if there is no shot.

1 foot in qualifies as being in the lane. You have to get them both out to reset the count. I think he gets away with it some.

I thought I read somewhere that he'll lift the inside foot causing a reset. Is that possible?

yes he does that

 

[Spinn]

The good thing is, I am not sure we are anywhere near our best yet. I think there are a couple of guys on the bench that will step up as the season goes on, and take us over the top.

100% correct. Good lord, have to spell everything out.

 

[Woodsa]

We are not humming on all cylinders yet but that is why I love this team. They play with heart and win. Hiede and Colvin continue to develop during non-conference so they can help us win in conference play providing depth in the tourney.

 

[Spinn]

Surprisingly we are currently ranked 19th in the nation for 3pt percentage.

Not sure who this guy is…but he bashes Purdue and then proceeds to put Purdue at #1 in his top 25.

Need to explain this to all fan bases who complains about edey camping out there and fouling “so much”.

Furst and Heide come to mind and we will need Colvins shooting in the tourney. I know Gillis had butterfingers in Hawaii but as long as he can continue to be solid in the minutes he gets, he will help out too!

 

[BoilerAndy]

When we win, it's a bit silly for other fanbases to point out that Purdue is so good because we have Edey. It's silly because it's so obvious. Most of us would agree with those fans.

But it's insanely sillier when a few vocal people in our own fanbase claim that we lose games because we have Edey.

Well if a=b then b=a. Basic logic but wouldn’t expect a person of your social status to understand these things. (TIC)

A great tournament our moment in the sun.
