Purdue (4) v. Kansas (1) Game Thread (NCAA Midwest Regional Semi-Final)

[rsquare]

Is there a mercy rule?

 

[Casey and his Brother]

I know Swanigan has to leave after this season, but I don't see who he can actually guard in the NBA.

 

[BoilerBulldog]

I will be shocked if anyone beats KU at this point. We've played everyone strong this year. And this team just destroyed us.

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

thats not a foul.

 

[PU pit bull]

refs are still calling this shit.............come on game has been decided already

 

[Boilermaker]

We all knew it would take a great game by Purdue and a meh game from Kansas. No one, I repeat no one will beat KU when they bring it. The best PU can play can't beat them when they are on. The meh PU team we have been seeing has no chance.

 

[New Pal Boiler]

We proved we belonged by getting here.

We proved we belong against the Iowa State's of the world.

 

[BoilerFan#35]

EXTEND PAINTER!!!! HAD THE TEAM PREPARED TONIGHT

 

[IndySouthsider]

That was stupid Did Caleb even touch him? There you go ball don't lie.

no...the championship game is not in kc.

 

[FirstDownB]

The point differential is going to be more than the rest of the sweet sixteen games combined.

 

[BoilerBulldog]

We proved we belong against the Iowa State's of the world.

We proved we are a top 16 team. Where did you pick us at preseason? I can go look..,,

 

[PU pit bull]

going to be a learning experience for CE...........

 

[Boilermaker]

Oregon is gonna get shit stomped

 

[Lionheart1]

Kansas recruiting classes average what top 5, certainly top 10. When was last time Purdue had a top 10 class?

Never?

Vince looks like one of the guys that comes in at the end of games...He doesn't seem to know what is going on.

 

[70boiler]

Damn, stop bitching about calls. Boilers are being schooled and seem indifferent.

 

[PU pit bull]

1st blow out of the year..........at the worst time of course

 

[Casey and his Brother]

I haven't seen a team dribble out the clock with 6+ minutes in a game since the advent of the shot clock. Ugh.

 

[New Pal Boiler]

We proved we are a top 16 team. Where did you pick us at preseason? I can go look..,,

That's my point.

 

[FirstDownB]

Damn GBI! Why were you so optimistic!!!

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

2007

 

[IDontWannaLargeFarva]

You guys are hanging in there. It's cute, but it's just gonna make there heartbreak all that much worse.

For posterity.

 

[New Pal Boiler]

No Purdue coach is out recruiting Kansas. Mason was barely top 100.

I knew this team wasn't going to the final four. I don't think Painter will ever get there. I just didn't realized how outclassed we are athletically.

 

[PU pit bull]

Damn, stop bitching about calls. Boilers are being schooled and seem indifferent.

only 9 FTs for PU

 

[BoilerBulldog]

That's my point.

Um. OK? Yea. We played to our weight this year. I'm satisfied.

 

[CRBoiler]

Once KU got around a 10 pt lead they just became fearless and turned into a buzz saw- hats off

 

[BoilerBulldog]

1st blow out of the year..........at the worst time of course

Best team we've played all year. No coincidence.

 

[New Pal Boiler]

Um. OK? Yea. We played to our weight this year. I'm satisfied.

And we don't belong playing teams like Kansas. That was my point.

 

[FirstDownB]

Got to hand it to Kansas. They are just kicking our doors in..

 

[Boilermaker]

I knew this team wasn't going to the final four. I don't think Painter will ever get there. I just didn't realized how outclassed we are athletically.

Didn't we all know this prior to the game? Pretty much common knowledge we were out athleted at all positions. One could argue PU was the least athletic in the field of 64, though still very skilled, well coached (and coachable), and a great team. Athletic they have not been.

 

[PU pit bull]

PU could've played better no doubt..........but I think PU ran into an awesome KU team tonight

No shame in this season......proud of these guys

 

[asby]

Well there is always football season!

 

[RDUBoiler]

Never?

Their 2010 class was apparently ranked #9 in the country:

Hale, Carroll, Anthony Johnson, Terone Johnson. Turned out to be an awful class.

 

[BoilerBulldog]

And we don't belong playing teams like Kansas. That was my point.

For the record, the team we just beat had beat KU two weeks ago.

But my bracket had us losing tonight.

 

[Casey and his Brother]

I don't know if we really were a top 16 team, but we're better than UC Davis.

Goes to show how bad recruiting rankings are.

Name a team who's lost already that was better than us? I might give you Villanova.
