The call on Newman for a charge instead of a blocking foul was killer. Then a tacky frustration foul on the other end because of it.
Purdue v. Miami (ACC/Big Ten Challenge) Game Thread
- Thread starter Purdue Grad in Texas
- Start date
Both under CMP..we will let it go because he's done a decent job recruiting.
Internet tough guy. You need to slow....down...with the name calling. You are the guy that acts tough on a board, but hides behind a computer screen. Slow down, chump!

Dude! I sooo hope you're right. But, right now I'm seeing last year all over again. Williams is not making improvements that I had hoped for.
This guy seems pleasant... maybe take a breather. We are all Boilers here.
Tonight's game sucked. True. But this is just the beginning of a great team being put together. I will be watching Saturday against ISU and will be looking for positives. I can't wait for this team to get healthy and watch these young guys develope and show our juniors that they better improve or lose minutes during this season. Btfu.
The knee jerk reactions on here are hilarious. Calling for Painters head immediately lol. Cmon people. Chill tf out.
Had to use one of my phone calls...Steve Wilmer is the guyDJ Carstensen is a 6' 8" Big Ten official.
Bahahahaha here comes pom pom puffer!!! You hear that guys??? Us fans are the problem!!! How DARE us expect us to win games that we are up 20 in vs a bad team missing 3 players!!!
How DARE you get upset!! Rather, we should all be holding hands passing out kisses and slipping eachother notes of encouragement
Just have to play the hot hand right now.....some nights it might be Eric Hunter, others Sasha Stefanovic (though likely just in Mackey) or Trevion Williams......or Branden Newman, Jaden Ivey, or Zach Edey.....everyone else plays off whoever that is. I do think Jaden Ivey has the potential to be close to what Carsen Edwards did but in a different way and maybe not to the degree of dropping 35-40.....yet. Have to avoid foul trouble too....that's the one thing taking Branden Newman out of the rotation a couple of times. Tough loss tonight with the way they collapsed.....on to Indiana State and the Buckeyes next week,
I don't believe anyone said to fire CMP, but there is no denying it has happened to many times. It has and it's a fact. I like him but it does seem to happen to often.
Well, this threat of some groundbreaking program win in future has been used and yet to come to fruition in any type of fashion. Its a cudgel. Some day hasn't, but will happen. 16 years. That dog won't hunt. A hollow threat now.
Are they on the Brohm plan where they will "win big" in like 5 years, because this team looks remarkably like last year's team, and, that did not end well...and I don't see this ending well again in light of what I just witnessed unfortunately. Not like I want that...not like I am happy about it...not like I am in any way reveling in it...but, what just happened...simply can't happen...that was as bad a loss as I can think of, compounded by it being to a bad team.
The same lack of leadership from a year ago was on display...consistently...the same lack of a go-to guy...the same lack of no answer at either end of the floor during a collapse...those are things that should not remain after last year and having happened to the extent that they have in the past...the fact that they do is concerning...troubling frankly from the standpoint of not being able to do anything at all to keep from losing a game that was nearly impossible to lose...again, to a bad team without its best player(s).
It is a young team. We knew things like this could happen. Hoped it wouldn't happen, but it did.
Time to regroup and get ready for the next game. Boiler Up!

This loss and clemson loss cements us as missing the tourney this year. Not enough non conf games this year to make it up and the big ten is going to be brutal.
Should be back in the tourney next year but... building around 7 footers in todays basketball landscape is a resounding failing strategy. You win with guards. Referees simply do not allow 7 footers to dominate in the paint today, and we yet again saw that today

Could be.
that begs a few questions...
Who has labeled him elite? How many elite coaches are there? And, what does it take to be considered "elite"?
In all honesty, hard to gage this team with Ivey out as he has the potential (or perhaps already is) to be our best overall offensive player.
No coach is perfect, but this isn't all on him.... not even remotely. Painter has shown he can make deep runs, recruit and so on and this may be a "thing" he has to learn to improve upon.
However it's easy for us to sit in judgement from the internet without being on the side of the court, in practice nor in the huddles. So really none of us can say for sure he doesn't because let's face it, if ANY of us knew half of what we think we know about coaching a power five team, we sure wouldn't be talking basketball on here
I think Shrews knows this and has become a huge piece for recruiting. We have targeted that player for the 21' and 22' class.
Dude.
The internet is great, and all, but it just affords too many opportunities for people to knee-jerk.
Yes, the B1G will be brutal. I highlighted that in a post a week ago, or so.
Still, I'm having difficulty drawing conclusions on a season that just started....
So......you have it all figured out? Why hasn't Painter? Not being a smartass, but if you think it's that close, why wouldn't you think Painter should fix it? Look, he's not the guy.
If it means paying your players to win, then Izzo, Calipari and Coach K are elite.
I understand your perspective....it's frustrating to watch at times. Maybe CMP's thinking for the long haul that these guys need to figure some things out themselves and play through adversity...I don't know.....would be interesting to hear his post-game comments on that. When they got it back to 15 up after Miami's initial burst in the second half, I thought they had weathered it. Wrong.
No answers, eh.
I guessed as much, as I asked/typed the questions. Especially in the shadow of a disappointing loss...
You ask dumbass questions, of course if I'm not going to answer to someone like you.
That little ...elevates my blood pressure just seeing himNot Paul Szelc???
😁
don't be so hateful.
I asked legit questions.
If you're a serious person, have a serious conversation.
You're a rah rah cheerleader looking to start arguments, not interested in a conversation with you.
Did we really only get 4 points out of a combined 77 minutes between IT, SS and Wheeler. Man, ivey along with the 21' can't get here fast enough.
Oh hell no do I have anything figured out, Deuce....just my opinion.....and it's not easy to execute. I've expected this year was going to be a roller coaster, and I think so far it's been one. It was working in the first half....now the defensive effort was better too.
I could live to be 100+, and I won't know anything close to what CMP knows about the game and coaching it. I can respect your opinion and others who don't think CMP is the right guy for Purdue.....maybe I'm too much of an optimist, perhaps. I also know it's very difficult in this day and age and technology to not take a very micro-focused approach.....and CMP is getting paid very handsomely for what he does. Absent some scandal/major violations, he's the coach for Purdue as long as he wants it, IMO based somewhat on knowing from others the reputation and inner workings of the administration and Board of Trustees.
I think he has things in the right direction, including with the recruiting.....but it's a step-building process.....tough to be patient and watch results like tonight. Most of us are Purdue alums and ardent followers - but we can also agree to disagree at times - we agree that we'd like to see Purdue win.....and I'd like to see a good group of young men get an opportunity and succeed in achieving their goals and having a lifelong friendship and a great mentor. Way too early right now for this season, but it was a disappointing evening after a promising start.
Sorry folks, for the lengthy reply.
I hesitated to "jab" you with that, but I knew you could handle it my friend. I'm a trouble-maker at times.
No problem at all. Weathered many years with many larger issuesI hesitated to "jab" you with that, but I knew you could handle it my friend. I'm a trouble-maker at times.
First off, you'll never bother me with lengthy replies. I'm not here to argue, but to say what I see. I am an alum/fan so I want success. I'm also an unapologetic realist. I call it like I see it. We're 16 years into this "step building process", Painter is who we think he is. Not great, but "safe". No trouble, no scandal......just vanilla. We're afraid of the green door. Worried the next guy "might be worse" which is an indictment on our ability to find next level talent. We need to settle for the best we think we can get or deserve. Not swing for the fence. I'd really like to believe that some day I could see something special. But, you have to actually want it. Not, just hope the stars align and it falls in your lap.
Man, I hope you're wrong. I feel the same but want so much more. I just want to believe we can consistently be a MSU type of winning program. I don't want to be a dirty program but to win and have teams fear us.
