Still supporting CMP

I think that's a Colvin, but we need multiple Colvin's. It takes a team effort and we had to many scared guards/players out there tonight.
You’re clueless. He’s lost to a 13, 15 and 16 the last 3 years. He’s a complete choker and terrible tourney coach. The numbers don’t lie.
No one cares anymore. We’re a national embarrassment as of tonight.
You keep calling me an IU troll when I have been saying since the summer time:
1) we need better guards
2) CMP lost me with the loss to Little Rock and confirmed it with the N. Texas loss
3) our freshmen will not cut it
If you consider anyone who makes legitimate points - that literally bore out in every way tonight - an IU troll, I can't save you.

Disagree. He might be the worse tourney coach in history.
And I am a CMP supporter who thinks he is a flat out great regular season coach.
You’re a loser if you still support Painter. Painter don’t let the door hit you in your sorry effing ass on the way out of town. Athletic department fire him pronto. Lack of in-game adjustments signals a very low basketball IQ!
Everyone who criticized him was shouted down, but tonight was the proof. No one in their right mind can defend him now.
Yeah he did. As a guy who watched every IU game when Knight was there, I know. Didn't play it often, but he did play it on occasion when the change was needed.
They don’t fit the system. Dribble. Look inside. Stand in corner. Our offense is terrible.
and tonight we made more history.
This is an excellent post. I couldn't agree more with everything you said.
Some on here were so "proud" of CMP when he gave a smart ass answer to a reporter this year who asked him about never playing zone. I was not impressed and said so here. I thought it showed an immature attitude and suggested he knew everything. I'm hopeful we will see a more contrite CMP after this. Unfortunately, when you have no pressure on your job, that isn't as likely to happen.
I disagree with much of what you say, but you are spot on here. It taught me a lot and I honestly thought I had him figured out.
I truly have no Idea how anyone can stand by CMP at this point... This was always going to happen under CMP. Always... I hope Purdue is never a 1 seed again as long as he is coaching. The elite 8 run is the exception to the rule. Similar to Crean and what he did with Wade at Marquette... His celing is sweet 16... The losses his team have had in the tourney over the years are completely unacceptable and 100% on him.
Sort of ageee, however, guys had wide open shots because of the low post, get guys to make them.
They tighten up because they are not athletic and everything speeds up in the tourney. Not being able to break a press mid-season showed there's a serious lack of athleticism from our guards, which we sort of knew heading into the season. Someone tweeted days ago how 1/2 seeds that are unranked prior to the season rarely go far in the tourney. That's because those teams lack the athletic talent and guards that will ultimately improve throughout the year and turn it on come tourney time. Painter's reliance on interior play vs exterior hides this throughout the regular season. This pattern won't change.
Totally agree. The only way you can support CMP is if you accept regular season relevance and have zero expectations for tourney time.
I think it's clear now that we can get through the overrated Big Ten conference, every year, hiding the fact that the guard play in nearly the entire conference is subpar.
We need more explosive players at the 1-4.
Imagine making this post after the last 3 years.
You know what that makes people like OP? A cult follower. Out of their mind certifiably crazy like any cultist.
So happy you are proud of it too

Show me the posts. In every context I was pointing out we cannot throw stones given the details about Mason's DUI. We need to focus on keeping our house clean and it starts at the TOP.
LMFAO. He lost to double digit seeds 3 years in a row. I don't know how anyone can defend his tourney record with a straight face...
They can, they just choked. Again.
Instead of going into NCAA games with the killer instinct, our guys seem afraid to lose.
Double-digit seed losses by Purdue under Matt Painter:
16 seed (2023)
15 seed (2022)
13 seed (2021)
12 seed (2016)
11 seed (2011)
Sidenote: Pack will be playing again Sunday as the Canes came back and won.
We got a deal on our guards. Richest team in the graveyard!
Before we start talking any player recruitments...we need a coach with a much higher basketball IQ than clueless Painter. That bar is set very low...
We need more explosive perimeter players. This team is pretty much what I thought it was last summer. Good, not great.
Lol, quit playing through the low post? Edey didn’t touch the ball in the last 12 mins. The problem was that we didn’t play though the low post enough.
My point is that the entire offense is throw it inside, and if they double, kick it to stand still jump shooters. If they take Edey away with 3 guys, and our shooters choke, we’re screwed. That system doesn’t work in the NCAA.
Has to be frustrating watching your team bow out early in the tourney every year. The high points have yielded nothing for the team. I have watched your team do well in the B1G for several years, but fail on the big stage. How much of this is on the style of play? It seems the B1G rewards those teams playing smash mouth, but when it comes to the tourney this all goes out the window and the teams playing that way fail.
Interested to see what the PU fans think…
I don't watch a bunch of IU ball but I do recall IU playing a 3-2 zone at Northwestern when they had Evan Eschmeyer and a bunch of three point shooters. Northwestern had just beaten Purdue a week or two before the game and I remember screaming for Gene to try a zone but he refused and Purdue lost. My interest was piqued watching IU play there and Bob Knight resisted but finally did go into a 3-2 zone at some point in the second half and IU pulled it out. I recall Knight being pissed about having to resort to it but he did what was necessary to win that night.
