He’s an absolute Knight clone technically. Both understand and articulate the game as well as anyone I’ve seen when they are dead serious and not letting their egos invade.
I agree that Knight was great at articulating the game, but feel the same way about Painter. I’m always impressed by the thoughtful answers he gives any time he is interviewed.
Yes,I think Knight was a basketball wizard while beig a very unusual person.
Ya know, thinking about this, and it’s an “if” and kind of a big one at that. But *if* Edey or fouls…just the game in-general, are called they way they *should* be---just fair and consistent… ya know – no more, no less. Maybe akin to how the pre conference slate of the schedule seemed to be – then I actually like this particular Boiler team – to actually make the FF.
Congrats on your Super Bowl win…. Hopefully IU won’t face St Mary’s again in the tournament
Good for them, they beat the Boilers ass, also, Purdue shot about 25 more free throws, although I’m sure we’ll hear it, sure can’t blame the refs. Well, I guess the 5-26 from 3 and the missed Free Throws were the refs fault. I love Purdue with all my heart, however, with age I’ve realized when you get beat take it like a man, this was one of those night.
Galloway and Kopp hit their 3’s and we didn’t.
They (not me) rushed the floor because IU had just beaten the number one ranked team in the country. It did not matter that it was Purdue (but it was a nice added bonus).
Just imagine if he made thank dunk. They would have played it like the Octeus and Edwards dunks in Assembly.
That was a few that bitched every supposed missed call, let’s be honest, some want a foul called every time Purdue has the ball. Purdue got the call last night, still got drilled. I think Purdue is the better team, however, they have to hit open shots. Purdue had a ton of in and outs, it happens.
It's possible. But congrats on a regular season conference win.Ff?
I mean, yeah. You'll have to forgive us for being a little spoiled by owning IU for what feels like 3 decades in FB and BB. It seems like IU hasn't been good since they had to call timeouts, get a ladder and retrieve the ball from the peach basket. We'll be fine.
Careful...you're going to provoke a pre-WWII history lesson
You were writing off this game as loss for IU, said rest up your players, etc. Now you mouth?
This is a pretty funny troll magnet thread. Ironically, it was pretty quiet Saturday night and Sunday morning.
I'll take a little banter, but even my IU buddy said he would rather switch places with Purdue. So, at least there's some honesty.
I heard a lot of IU is back and a IU asst coach was chanting this is the new IU, well after last nite, we all know IU is back to normal.
Well I guess Iowa showed Purdue the key to beating Indiana... Actually hitting shots.
Seems like Dave Bliss was at SMU and they were pretty good for a couple of years. Mind going to 1-4 low for whatever reason and remembering 2 tall post players. Got Bob/Bill Feller ??? that left IU and went to Illinois to coach high school...maybe the other way around????
The Iowa game verified that Purdue was the Super Bowl game for IU. Not only the Super Bowl, but absolutely best game for the Super Bowl that IU played
