Notre Dame v. Purdue Game Thread (Crossroads Classic 2016)

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Ok, here we go again, folks.....Boilers clash with the Fighting Irish in the 2016 version of the Crossroads Classic, and tip-off is coming up shortly on ESPN2.....Dave Flemming and Dick Vitale working the game.

Can Purdue finally break through in this annual "House of Horrors" contest in Indianapolis? Notre Dame comes in ranked #21 @ 9-1, with the one loss a well-contested defeat to defending champ, Villanova....who also knocked off the Boilers earlier this season.

Can the Boilers defend the perimeter well enough and limit the turnovers, which have dogged them all season? If so, I think Purdue will finally break through. Regardless, Boilers need to play a patient game while still capitalizing on opportunities.....can't afford to play tight or cautious.

YUGE game for confidence purposes going into conference season next month......time to get it done........end the Indy Curse!

Boiler up, my friends.

This might be too fast paced of a game for Haas and his size.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

weather the storm then make a run!

There you see a glimpse/flash what CE can bring. Boilers were slip/sliding away a little, and CE makes a couple of energetic plays.

[TopSecretBoiler]

[depthcharge623]

Terrible foul call against Swanigan. Refs are putting their touch on this game already...

 

[depthcharge623]

Flagrant foul! That was hard!

 

[PU pit bull]

are they going to review it?

guess not...........if it was flipped, it would have been reviewed LOL

 

[BoilerBulldog]

Haas with the bloody mouth and not reviewed? Haas get angry..."If he dies, he dies".

 

[ahhculdee]

It's going to be near impossible to win this game with these refs.

 

[BoilerFan#35]

Is Basil hurt? He needs to play

 

[depthcharge623]

Haas with the bloody mouth and not reviewed? Haas get angry..."If he dies, he dies".

Beautiful reference.

I was afraid it was going to be that type of game for us.
