Great win, Boilers!!! Everyone contributed. I was amazed at how good we looked on defense at times. Maybe KenPom will move us into the top 100 now. One can always hope! As expected, the Longhorn posters were obnoxious, unbelieving, and of course, total victims of the referees! They are going to fit right into the SEC with the Tennessee fan base. Enjoy!
Good luck guys. Going to need the best game of the year from each of you. If you lose just, make sure they earn it.
Well, Purdue’s coach is way overpaid, and he doesn’t hold a candle to the legendary Gene Keady. I’d say we have the coaching advantage.
Legendary piece of s**t! Legendary a**h***! Legendary slimeball! He is such a sorry excuse for a human being that I'd be ashamed to introduce him to your dog as a representative of the species. I would rather have had dinner with Howard Schnellenberger than be in the same room with Keady or his roommate.
That's huge for Bishop to get a block on Edey right off the bat.
Edey just picked up his first.
The size difference between Bishop and their center looks cartoonish.
Edey looks like the hybrid clone of Goliath and Andre the Giant!
Edey’s mom looks like she could be Yao Ming’s sister.
Nice lob to Bishop for a slam with Carr playing downhill. Williams comes back and gets a bucket down low. He's going to be a problem.
Under-16 timeout comes with 14:48 to go. Texas leads Purdue, 14-8.
How do we stop their big men? They are large!
Brock draws the foul on Williams. He checks out and Edey is back in.
Ivey is ridiculous!
Texas zero points the last 3:42 as Horns have missed their last 8 shots. UT up 14-13.
The tall dudes for Purdue are a problem if we continue to try to play them one on one.
That size is tough. They can get a shot anytime they need, but so far we've been quicker to the ball.
Going to be a miracle to pull this one off. Their size is ridiculous!
Ramey doing a GREAT job defending Purdue's Jaden Ivey thus far (0 pts and 0 shot attempts in 8 mins of action).
Goodness, we can’t buy one!
It's a 9-0 run for Purdue.
We go from looking like we will blow them out to wondering if we will score again this half.
Texas has missed its last 10 shots while going scoreless for the last 5:29. PU up 17-14.
Lurch is one tall guy for Purdue. Texas is in La Nina with going 5+ minutes shooting drought.
Make that 0-for-last-12 shots ... scoreless for last 6:32. PU up 19-14.
C’mon Horns! Fight! … you can’t win if you can’t score!!
Purdue gonna be disappointed once the Horns take control and put them away!!
Missing open shots. It would be one thing if they were tightly contested shots, but they are just missing. Frustrating. Meanwhile, we are getting pounded in the paint, which opens up the three point shot, just like that one.
Beard better study offense in the off season - this is a complete joke - such an embarrassment!
This is one of the worst defenses we’ve faced and we can’t score in 8 min. Unbelievable!
Guys are missing open shots. Has nothing to do with offensive style.
They have had plenty of open looks just need a shooting coach!
Why can't we score when we're wide open? It's absolutely ridiculous! They're getting a ton of good shots just not hitting anything!
This team needs to apply for their brick layer union cards.
We got major issues guarding their bigs. Almost not a fair fight.
Beard should have called a timeout 3 minutes ago to regroup. Theses droughts need interruptions to get turned around. Dang coach, get in the game!
Just a matter of time until someone on this board complains about the refs.
With the exception of three point shooting, midrange shooting, and finishing at the rim, the offense is pretty solid.
It's an 18-0 run for Purdue. Texas has missed 15 in a row.
Damn, Looks like my second round exit prediction is going to hold up. This team’s just devoid of two things we needed for this game, size and consistent scorers.
They're terrified to shoot in the lane!
Has Askew been told not to shoot under any circumstance?!? Good lord, I have never seen a player more scared to score.
Texas fans are going to have to realize we are up north and we are not going to get any calls going our way. The fans in the seats are probably rooting for Purdue.
Williams is a dude. Skilled big man!
They will be down 20 at half time. They aren’t playing any defense and they aren’t making shots. Beard getting out coached. 0 action going to the rim.
Absolutely embarrassing that we are playing one of the worst defensive teams in the country and making them look like the best defensive team in the country. Quit shooting the stupid shots and drive to the basket.
At this point, I think every Texas player should be prepared to jack a three as soon as Texas gets the ball past midcourt, then attack the offensive glass and hope for a foul.
The amount of whining is this thread is unbelievable. This is an awful matchup for Texas. We haven’t won a tournament game since 2014 and don’t fill our arena at all. Just watch the game and be thankful you’re able to watch a team that actually won a tournament game despite our lackluster fan support.
Purdue is up by 14 going to the line. And Jaden Ivey hasn't scored yet!
I hope this game is an eye opener for Beard. You need offense if you want to move on. This is pitiful and embarrassing!
I wonder when Beard is going to listen to the announcers and play from the inside out ? Let bishop iso their big, if their bigs don’t get gassed.
I don’t think he’s listening to the broadcast.
Sure, after playing one way for 33 games, let's just re-invent our offense in the middle of the second round of the NCAA tournament by having a 6'7" guy with limited offensive skill become the focal point of an offensive style he never played in college.
Not impressed with this Purdue team. It's what we haven't done that has us behind.
All hail Andrew Jones who ends the nearly 10-minute scoreless drought, followed by 3s from Cunningham and Carr.
TEXAS IS BACK!!!
Boom! Right back in this!
This Texas team is streaky as hell, and that proves it.
Now we're getting hot. Just ride the storms...
Texas only down six after missing 16 straight shots and going scoreless for nearly 10 minutes!!
This isn’t Beard’s first tournament!
The way some people talk, you would think this was Beards first year as a head coach.
We need to play damn D; could give a damn about O!
Still this offense is pitiful, and unfortunately, stretches like that have been more the norm than the exception. Granted he is not the one shorting but they need more from the players, which invariably reverts back to better, more offense.
Edey looks like he's shooting free throws with a ping-pong ball.
Edey make a basketball look like a soccer ball in his hands.
Lol - he’s out there playing beer pong!
Check Edey for HGH!
I’m not sure what’s more offensive to me. The lady swimmer from Penn or this 8’ foot center.
Ramey is fighting like a MF against Ivey!
Ramey racked Williams with his butt!
Ramey's low back got Williams right in the pills. Happened right in front of me. I winced!
It’s okay. Hopefully they swell and he’s out for the rest of the game.
That will take your legs out for a while.
HALFTIME: Purdue 36, Texas 30.
We better pay for the best shooting coach on the planet. Goodness, this is painful to watch.
If watching your team play against one of the best teams in the country in the second round of the NCAA is painful, maybe should give up your fandom.
Apparently, none of the Texas players have mothers, as the broadcast is only showing the moms of Purdue players.
Man, stop the fouling and make a few shots and we will win the game.
Absolutely love seeing Auburn go down… Bruce Pearl & all his sleaze. Bye Bye War Eagle….
That was hard to listen to by Huggins, those points of his were solid when they finally came.
I think Candace said Texas went on a 20-0 run to get back in the game... hopefully I misheard her.
Floater by Jones falls. Longhorns on the board right out of the gate.
Ok, I get it, Ivy’s Mom is watching. Enough!
Carr is cooking right now!
We found the weak spot in Purdue’s defense for midrange jumpers near the elbow. Why have we gone away from that over the past few offensive series?
Dylan Disu gives Texas a most improbable lead (after that first half)!! Texas up 41-40.
Purdue in the bonus at the 14:14 mark. Sigh.
Hack a Zach!
He’s not “bad” as a 65% shooter at 7 foot plus. But it’s gotta be getting in his head shooting so poorly so far in a NCAA tourney game. Let’s hope for some yips.
Allen's first bucket is a huge one. Ties the game at 46.
Refs suck! They have a f**king agenda against Texas!
9-2 fouls. What a f*cking joke!
I’m not understanding some of these foul calls. The guy basically falls into us and it’s a foul.
Edey is going to get every call!
Texas is gonna foul out at this rate.
The fouls on the Horns are legit. Too much reaching, fouling on the arms. The refs will call those all day. The Horns need to move their feet better and get in position.
It must be nice being 7’4” and getting every call!
Free throws 29-9. Pathetic!
You’re going to blow you’re whistle on that? F**k off ref!
Edey fouls first and still gets the benefit of the doubt!
Edey has three and he's headed to the bench. Williams back in for Purdue.
That' would be worse if it weren't for the zebras. Painter is a horrible coach to leave him on the bench.
This game has not been badly officiated. We just want every call to go our way.
Purdue on a 7-0 run .... 30-sec timeout by Beard. PU up 59-52 .... 7:39 left.
Williams just got away with a clear block, especially when they’ve called every tap against Texas.
This is why Purdue is a tough out. Very few if any teams can match their bulk and skill down low, especially Williams. Very impressed with him.
The lady commentating wants to have his babies.
Purdue has attempted 33 FTs (made 22, 66.7 percent) ... while Texas has attempted 9 (and made 4, 44.4 percent).
Crucial couple minutes coming here! This foul differential is maddening. They are calling two different games.
Timmy Allen fouls out with 6:25 left (2 points, 1-6 FG; 2 rebounds) .... Nightmare game for Allen. PU up 59-54.
Not gonna lie, idk what an actual foul is anymore.
They just gonna let Williams bounce every defender 5 feet off him throwing his rear end around all night? Ridiculous!
Playing D is great but you got to score to win the game!
Boilermakers have more history of success. They know how to win in tough situations.
Texas getting outrebounded 37-28, but the Horns have 18 more shot attempts (58) than Purdue (40) ... Just haven't been able to make enough of them. PU up 65=60 ... 3:48.
THESE COMMENTATORS ARE ALSO KILLING ME. GOOD LORD, GET THEM PURDUE SHIRTS!
Get this game over with so they can stop showing Ivey’s mom.
Trevion Williams…32 years old.
Can’t allow them to shoot 40+ free throws. But these refs are blowing this game bad. There have been no less than 5 missed calls in the last couple of minutes!
Idk how that elbow to the throat wasn’t reviewed.
Interesting whistle calling the foul on Bishop’s face for attacking the Boilermaker’s poor fragile elbow.
I'm sorry, but when one team has 42 free throw attempts and the other has just 12, I'm thinking something is off.
Proud of this team. Won us a tourney game after 8 years. Gave us something to cheer for. Fought super hard in this game and made it interesting after going down. Just a bad matchup and better team. Hook Em. Looking forward to the future.
Hard to also win when there’s a +36 FT differential in favor of Purdue. Must be nice to get your balls licked by the refs.
The only thing that is off is that a professional sportswriter can't wrap his head around the concept that sometimes one team commits a lot more fouls than the other. We played hack, burn, and ruin defense all night.
Ivey and Williams were too much. Not sure we have anyone comparable on our roster. . . . definitely not Ivey.
The 30 something difference in FTs is fishy. Seems like the NCAA didn’t want the Top 3 seeds in the region losing before the Sweet 16.
Purdue drew a ton of fouls in the first game also. Maybe it’s cause they have a giant and 6”10’ PF who likes to tomahawk jam.
Williams could’ve had offensive fouls called on him multiple times when he cleared defenders out with egregious bumps and elbows. Bishop got called for a foul when he got cracked in the face with one of those elbows.
Can’t do much when royal Ivey’s son goes god mode.
I’m surprised Matt Painter didn’t thank the refs!
I have no problem with the statement we committed more fouls tonight. We did. And I’d have been fine with a 2:1 or hell even a 3:1 ratio. But you seriously think the ratio should’ve been 46:12? Called our guys anytime we touched a boilermaker, and they didn’t get called for jack.
Yeah, we committed a lot of dumb fouls and we fouled more than they did but officiating should never play that big a role in deciding a game. Way too many ticky tack fouls called. Refs wouldn't let us play physically and it hurt us, but Purdue got away with a lot that wasn't called as well. Let the players decide the game not the refs!
These refs sucked, this was not an evenly called game! Go St. Peters!
Good luck guys. Going to need the best game of the year from each of you. If you lose just, make sure they earn it.
Well, Purdue’s coach is way overpaid, and he doesn’t hold a candle to the legendary Gene Keady. I’d say we have the coaching advantage.

Under-16 timeout comes with 14:48 to go. Texas leads Purdue, 14-8.
How do we stop their big men? They are large!
Brock draws the foul on Williams. He checks out and Edey is back in.
Ivey is ridiculous!
Texas zero points the last 3:42 as Horns have missed their last 8 shots. UT up 14-13.
The tall dudes for Purdue are a problem if we continue to try to play them one on one.
That size is tough. They can get a shot anytime they need, but so far we've been quicker to the ball.
Going to be a miracle to pull this one off. Their size is ridiculous!
Ramey doing a GREAT job defending Purdue's Jaden Ivey thus far (0 pts and 0 shot attempts in 8 mins of action).
Goodness, we can’t buy one!
It's a 9-0 run for Purdue.
We go from looking like we will blow them out to wondering if we will score again this half.
Texas has missed its last 10 shots while going scoreless for the last 5:29. PU up 17-14.
Lurch is one tall guy for Purdue. Texas is in La Nina with going 5+ minutes shooting drought.
Make that 0-for-last-12 shots ... scoreless for last 6:32. PU up 19-14.
C’mon Horns! Fight! … you can’t win if you can’t score!!
Purdue gonna be disappointed once the Horns take control and put them away!!
Missing open shots. It would be one thing if they were tightly contested shots, but they are just missing. Frustrating. Meanwhile, we are getting pounded in the paint, which opens up the three point shot, just like that one.
Beard better study offense in the off season - this is a complete joke - such an embarrassment!
