This game just shows how piss poor of a job Painter and his staff did in preparing for that game. I'm done with hearing how great of a basketball genius he is. He chokes every single time he's put in this position...
The Fighting Peters getting boat raced.

For the guy that predicted a national championship, one would think you'd have known the answer to that question.
Not just preparing it’s his in game adjustments and player personnel that is mind boggling to me
Trust me, I would have loved to, as, I flat love watching that kid play and how he plays.
I love his game...I love the attitude...I love the passion...I love the understanding of the game. He is awesome in all of those areas/regards, but, after just watching the tournament...just no way to ignore the physical limitations. Again, in the conference...they won't stand out, and, if you surround him with guys that can help hide the deficiencies, they will stand out even less, but, get in a game against a Baylor or Houston or Arkansas or Texas Tech...even a Saint Peter's with physicality with which their guards played...don't see how you can hide it, more so in that those teams will try to exploit it.
I find it interesting that I haven't seen Purdue85 defending Painter on that shitshow performance...
I know. I admit I drank the Kool Aid after being a CMP skeptic in years past
Same here. No more Kool-Aid for me. He either shows the results or others on here can stop hailing him as their god...
Funny watching UNC playing a zone D and just shutting them down...
Gee, what a f'ing concept...

Both. I think those teams improved and Purdue didn’t. Painters big changes were Morton getting more PT which helped, IT and SS continuing to get a lot of PT which hurt, Hunter starting helped and taking Newman and Furst out of the rotation, hurt.
Think Purdue’s regression had more to do with them being a mostly finished product at the start of the season. Almost completely intact from the season prior. They hit the ground running while other teams were still figuring out how to play together.
I'm tired of Painter playing "experience" over talent. When was the last time that worked out for us?
You're welcome Davis for the free pass to the FF.
No, it had a lot to do with not giving enough time to talent (Furst, Morton, Newman) for them to get developed thru the season. Instead we played 2 guys with low ceilings (Sasha and IT) because they "practiced" well.
It’s not national peacock day anymore and water does find its own level.
If you can play players and not get in trouble for it, might as well.
No, but there will likely be a national Purdue choke day that will happen every March (Date TBD).
You guys realize that without Ivey, we’re not a tournament team. He was the best Purdue player since GRob and was forced to carry this team offensively which meant he had to take a lot of chances because the supporting cast was so bad offensively.
Don't disagree, but he didn't show Friday and there's no way to sugar coat it.
New Pal is doing it for him. Still riding Painters nuts.
Same here. The BLM crap makes me dislike them even more
I think UNC beats us by double digits. They just have more talent. A lot more.
How so? By questioning the “Fire Painter” crowd on who their genius hire is ??
there's an article on the internet by a coach whose team played both St peters and UNC. he said in order to be candid, he wanted to remain anonymous. he said his team beat UNC earlier in the year, but was amazed at how well that team has developed on defense since their earlier match. While the coach would not reveal his name, you knew it was painter. Just like you knew purdue was looking ahead and preparing for UNC rather than st peters. I highly doubt purdue would have been able to beat UNC a second time. This team got lucky early in the season, and never got any better than the y were at the start of the year. other teams like Duke and UNC and Vilanova identified their weaknesses, and adapted and mproved.
He may very well someday, but not currently better than Carson Edwards as a college player. His ceiling is probably higher. But, in the NCAAs? Carson was better.
This isn't a serious comment, is it? You're joking, right?
There is absolutely no way Purdue wins the number of games it does without Ivey. He was literally a one man show when Sasha, IT, and other guards decided not to show up for games on end.
LOL. They only beat the 1 and 4 seeds on the way. Hardly a free pass.
He had a bad tourney game just like Grob did against Duke. I agree, bad time to have a bad game, which is why we needed a secondary scoring guard and didn’t have one.
How's that look right now? They're rolling St Pete. Absolute route. NC could win by 35 if they didn't relax. We opened up a cakewalk to the FF.
Wow, 32 minutes in and SP just made their 13th FG.
Where does Defense Live Again?

It lead to his poor performance Friday. Not denying he had some great games after Illinois, but he had several where he tried to do too much....including Friday.
this is the link. you know this was straight from painter. https://sports.yahoo.com/saint-peters-knock-off-north-090020023.html
Too bad his cousin who happens to be on CMP staff wrestled him which messed up his back before Duke. I still believe a 100% Big Dog could have beat Duke
You missed my point. NC made their own way to the FF by knocking out the 1 and 4 seeds. That’s not a “cakewalk” by anyones definition.
I think we still would have made the tournament, but we would have probably been close to the bubble. We wouldn't have got out of the first weekend, that is for sure. Watching UNC boatrace St. Peters really does make you wonder just how bad we were on Friday.
Bullshit. Painter's shit game plan lead to that performance.
