Saint Peter's v. Purdue Game Thread (NCAA Tournament - East Regional Semi-Final)
- Thread starter Purdue Grad in Texas
- Start date
Painter got out coached and we see this often. Great season coach and horrible tournament coach. Can't move that needle. He never lands a good PG and we turn the ball over. Typical Painter
I'm with you. I honestly don't know who we should get to take us farther. It's obvious that our current coach isn't going to be the one.
December national championship banner will be hung next season.
Credit Saint Peters - they hung tough and deserved to win, but I also have to say - they didn't play THAT well. Incredibly poor game from a poise standpoint.....and some really poor possessions with the lead that ultimately cost the Boilers.
Matt Painter does have to fix a few things - more help on the way - this is hopefully a stepping stone. That's through Black and Old Gold glasses, admittedly.
Hate for Jaden Ivey to go out that way. He'll probably be the first to admit it - wasn't his best tonight, unfortunately.
Oh well - on to next year.

Ivey did not play well . . . true, but we have to get athletic guards who can play defense and drive the ball. We need more than one guard that can score.
Glad I didn’t renew my GBI subscription last year. Cost avoidance. Bet there’s a big meltdown
enough w/ the refs , they were certainly not the problem tonight.
Unless said player's doing anything good. THEN it's Painter who did it.
We're the Cubs of the Big Ten. It's just ridiculous to lose this game with everything falling the way it did in the tournament.
This team was incredible and incredibly frustrating all at the same time. I'll miss Williams - he really played well throughout the tournament.
We will be forever the first team to allow a 15 seed into the elite 8. Two legit NBA players and we can’t get past a 15 seed. PATHETIC! And I’m not putting this on the players. This is classic Painter just letting the game get away from him as a spectator. He’s strategically insulated himself with 2 coordinators so don’t expect the heart break to end anytime soon.
This was all on Painter. If Ivey plays like dog shit, you pull him from the game.
He has a week to prepare for this, and this is the horseshit that we do??
Some can't seem to see he coaches the team. You have always been in apologist for him. He's the CEO and we keep losing in the tournament to lesser teams. True correct??
Have you seen the guard lineup for next year? Not sure he’s fully realized this yet.
Painter about to start flirting with San Francisco to get an extension
Bingo. Plus Edwards had to have record setting numbers to get us there.
How about you leave and enjoy our Sweet 16. Since you seem to be perfectly fine with them.
When the assumed top players of Ivey and Edey combine for 6 and 5 turnovers things are likely to be ugly. And adding Ivey at 4/12 from the field with 1/6 from the arc is a pretty clear recipe for a season ender.
Not much discussion required, imho.

OK, I agree, although he was in for a bit near the end. But I still agree... for whom?
Or wait once every 10 years instead of 42 years and counting
Well, our PG's haven't been great. Does he realize why we struggle and can't guard teams that are guard oriented? It's because you need good, tough guards. We don't have tough nosed guards. Even our NBA prospect is soft.
But let me see, Purdue teams under Painter have consistently down this …. What’s the common denominator? He let this game get away in the first 5 min of the second half which a good coach never would allow to happen. THIS WILL BE OUR CEILING!!!
Sorry. But this is off the charts bad for Painter. He had a week to prepare for this and he got completely outcoached. And I mean completely...
Because he starts guys that have not played well in a month. He lost this game!
Could be worse. At least we’re not Virginia (first 16 to get beat by a 1). And Virginia did win the tourney the following year…
Why does painter never make any adjustments? Press, zone, something? He never freaking adjusts!
Charles Barkley said it . Purdue had the worst game plan he has ever seen
Where ya'll Ivey fan bois at now?!!?!?
I hope he never plays another minute of basketball in a Purdue jersey. Only thing he got from his mom was the ND arrogance.

Even Barkley said this was the worst game plan he could imagine...
It's ****ing embarrassing...

Barkley “Purdue had the worst game plan I’ve ever seen”. A truer statement Chuck has never made.
He never presses. They pressed the whole half and it messed us up.
Coach K went to a seldom used zone in 2nd half and won. Great coaches make great adjustments
Under CMP Purdue has had too many games to count now where they looked exactly like tonight. Deer in headlights. This is nothing new and also why quite a few in here knew from about 5 minutes left in the first half they were going to lose... It's a pattern and it doesn't matter who is playing. A pattern developed over 17 years means its not the players but the coach... If people can't understand that then fine. Be happy with sweet 16 ceilings and maybe 1 or 2 more B1G championships in the next 20 years... If that's your happy place more power to you, but I believe the rich history of Purdue basketball can accomplish and deserves more...
