They are who we thought they were...

[chiboiler7]

This is nothing against you or your post Jadeerza.

But us old people on this board all feel like, deja vu, we've all seen this too many times before.

We have a lead against a good team, and then we lose within the last 5 seconds of the game. What is it about Purdue and those last 5 seconds? Can we call a time out or switch our personnel? We play just good enough to lose. and just like past history, an 80% FT shooter misses the first of a one and one FT in the final seconds.

Frankly, I'm tired of playing good enough to lose. I'm tired of our history of quality losses. Rick Mount and Purdue almost beat UCLA in a game before the tournament final in 63 or 64 or 65. I don't recall the exact year but the fact is, they lost.

You cant tell me the players overlooked or were not fired up for this game. or still had the flu. This was the game they pointed to all season long as that statement game - beating MSU at their house. this was the game all the elite recruits and for that matter NBA scouts were watching. Someday we may win games like this. history dictates that championship teams find a way to win when their best players are having a bad day. and that's what MSU did today.

No, we did not lay an egg. We didn't lay an egg against OSU either. and that's what hurts the most. I could accept being blown away. but opportunity knocked, and we had a chance to win both games. but the ghosts of Purdue past came out in both games in the last 5 seconds and decided that we would lose. We can't prevent a quality team from making that last second shot !!!

Forget that Arizona win. We played that game against Arizona without their starting guard Alkins who averages 29 minutes and 13 points. and it was only Ayton's 6th collegiate game. they are a different team now. Unfortunately, we're not. We're eh same team that lost to Tennessee.

We're not a bad team. We're just who we thought we were. I have a new roof, so I'm not worried about the sky falling down.

I really think it is largely psychological at this point. The moment has always been too big for our players.

And when we get a player like CE who can handle the moment we keep him at the 2 spot and let the standard Purdue senior PG handle the game out of respect to him. Purdue is class, but class doesn't win championships unfortunately.

 

[Travis Miller]

Hey who cares about these stupid seedings????? Do you understand their are upsets in the tournament? You appreciate the fact you are in the tournament and you play the teams you are designated to play. Once again may I remind anyone on here that IF YOU MAKE THE TOURNAMENT. You have had a successful season. You have a lottery pick in the Big Dance.

People over at Hammer and Rails want Cuonzo Martin. LOL WTF is wrong with you fans. You are letting the fact Purdue has not been to Final 4 since 1980 warp your mind. The players on Purdue have only been there the last 4 years. BTW Purdue won Big 10 last year and so I guess Painter can win big games right. He had a NBA player too last year on his roster. Purdue has lost 2 games with NBA talent making big shots, You congratulate them and move on...

I work for a media company. This angst over these 2 losses is about Purdue fans buying into this stupid media crap about this BEING THE YEAR etc... If Purdue wins out rest season no shame in losing these 2 games. Just stupidity. I am done posting on here rest of season.

Never said we wanted zo. Our poll yesterday was pretty clearly a joke because of how people lose their minds after every loss. Would lovr yo havr 'zo as lead recruiter because he is a better recruiter than Painter, but Painter is the better game coach.

 

[cprh9u]

@cprh9u still a number 1 seed. I think you were so eager to come here pronouncing failure you did it a little too early lololol

Quite frankly, I don't care what seed we are.. I don't see us going the distance as I see us losing against good competition and running the table against decent to garbage teams. That said, we are "still a number 1 seed"? What are you talking about? I don't care what some projection says, we will finish 3rd in a down B1G, our marquee win was a lucky circumstance from the beginning of the season against a team who lost 3 games in 3 days (will not count for as much) and ??? I don't think we'd be a 1 seed if the season ended today, and I think we have more of a chance to hurt it than help it over the remainder of the year unless we can whip OSU and MSU in the B1G tourney (which is possible as the 3 seed).

This is Painters best year to make some noise with his combination of size, inside scoring, shooting, senior leadership and virtually no weaknesses. If this is a final 4 team, I will be glad to come on here and eat crow, and I will be cheering our guys on every game from now until the end of the year. If Painter can't deliver, you bet I will still be vocal about it. I want better than a S16 every 3-4 years from my team. Sorry/not sorry if that makes you angry.

Now you're just contradicting yourself to try and save face. Sorry, it's not working.

Your problem is, everything you complain about is just not true because you cloud your judgment with hatred. You can be as vocal as you want, but your credibility has taken a huge kick in the nuts I am afraid.

There has been a lot of mention that we are at a "crossroads" before things were announced today and it certainly applies to you. This is your chance to eat a little crow and admit Painter isn't nearly as bad as you thought he was (and is actually a great coach) or continue on your current path and not have one leg to stand on.

Purdue has 5 top 50 wins vs MSU whom has 2 and with 0 chances left to grab another. Purdue lost at a buzzer beater at their place. What are your expectations for MSU? Can’t wait to hear it.

Btw these aren’t projections , this was the actual committee using the metrics they will at the end of the year.

Makes you wonder if PU was on the verge of winning the Championship, would he be secretly hoping for a loss, just so he could continue to spew the hate. More concerned about being right than on the PU program itself. He probably wouldn't even enjoy the win. And I doubt a Championship would change his mind on CMP anyway. He gives absolutely zero credit to CMP......exposing his agenda. The only time he is a fan is when PU loses.......

He wouldn’t , he stayed silent all year until Purdue started losing to post. That says it ALL, I was undecided with him as a poster. I just assumed that if he wasn’t a troll, that he had just dropped off the map. But let’s be realistic , a real fan doesn’t wait to post till a 19 game win streak is snapped.

He is who most of you thought he was

Don't you get it? That's not good enough. Are they the overall 1 seed? No. Same old shit. But as cp3 r2d2 says, there's still time to get this straightened out.

"you cloud your judgment with hatred" Please show me one place in any of these comments that you perceive hatred. I'll wait. I feel these comments are pretty rational and calm, but I am curious to see your definition of hatred.

"admit Painter isn't nearly as bad as you thought" I think he is pretty average, not bad, but admit Painter isn't bad based on what? That we are projected for a 1 seed? I still say we are more likely for a 3 than 1 but regardless, I don't see us doing much with it.

"a great coach" Painter is not a great coach. To think so shows ignorance. I don't mean that in a mean way, but more of a feel sorry for you way. I do think he runs an honest program (certainly worth something these days), is average in recruiting, average in x's and o's and above average at team discipline. I just think we could do better.

 

[lbodel]

There is time to turn it around, but this is a Painter team and I don't see us going further than the S16 at best... like every other year. We very likely lost the B1G, which is pretty disappointing given our talent and senior laden team and mediocre B1G. I would imagine we are looking at 2-3 seed territory depending on what happens the rest of the way, but our resume is weak with very few good wins. A 4 seed is not out of the question if some other teams get hot and we lose another in the B1G tournament or even worse, before then. A "meh" win over a now pretty good AZ team that lost it's 3rd game in 3 days will not impress the committee, and it is easily our best. Butler, Louisville, Michigan x2... not bad, but far from marquee wins. We had 2 really good chances to win this week and we blew them.

Feels like a typical Painter year.

Except we wouldn't play a team as high quality as either of these teams in the Sweet 16 unless we were a 5 seed.

It's mid-February and we've lost 4 games on the season. I really don't think it's worth breaking out the sky is falling posts just yet.

I took some time away from this forum because I knew ignorant posters like the OP would run rampant and looks like I wasn't wrong.

And then only to see that we are a number one seed which made every single one of the dipshit debbie downers look like the basketball ignoramuses we knew them to be. Then you top it off with this thread where the OP says 'he doesn't care that we got a number one seed' only further making himself look ignorant.

What we all need to take away from these last few days is that the downers have no idea as to what they are talking about. They are here simply for an agenda and instead of celebrating a great season they are finding ways to try and tear it down.

I take comfort in knowing that not only will Painter continue to coach Purdue while he is so successful, but he will be angering the dipshit debbie downers while he does it as he metaphorically spits in their eye.

Everything is a moving target on this board. If I told anyone on this board that we'd have 4 losses in mid-February, they'd probably say I was crazy. Now it's we will never go anywhere with Painter as our coach after losing to 2 top 15 teams on last second shots.

Everyone just needs to chill out. We aren't curing cancer here, it's a game of basketball by 18-22 year olds. Life will go on.

Correct - all you care about is bashing Painter every chance you get. It’s like you come on here and try to justify your anti-Painter talk after two losses but nothing during our amazing win streak. It must be hard living life in negativity and never enjoying the positive aspects. We are still considered a 1 seed by the committee and we dropped to a whole #6 in the poll. Instead of appreciating this team you just whine and bash. Pathetic really

Please respect that most of the rest of us disagree and are here on a regular basis to support this team and it’s coaches... not just when a 19 game winning streak comes to an end. If you don’t see the logic where we might possibly question your motives then no amount of discussion will help. Kind of like the t- shirt reads, “ If I have to explain it you wouldn’t understand”.

I know Haas not the athletic type but how difficult is it for him to kick the ball back out. Quick look to wing fake pass get movement from others and give PJ or Dakota clean look from 3.

He’s still over on the Football board, composing his 50,000 word wall of text congratulating himself on predicting Purdue’s success this season. Probably a nice guy, but I had to put him on ignore. Juice ain’t worth the squeeze.

He is right and wrong, we are top 16 talent wise at best but Painter and staff gives us a chance. This team is missing top level guard play and can't rebound these are things a coach can't fix.. The only stat we lead is missed dunks and we are over rated. But we have proven we can run with the big boys. Painter is a very good coach and way better than these couch coaches that come out at every loss.

He gives absolutely zero credit to CMP......exposing his agenda. The only time he is a fan is when PU loses.......

Show me when I "spew the hate". Painter is average and we could do better. That is hate? I'm not on here day in and day out like some of you, I just don't have time. But look at my history. Even after the OSU loss I said Purdue has one more big game in the regular season and can solidy themselves by winning that. My posts aren't only about CMP and his mediocrity. But if that is all you want to see I can't help you. Just ignore me if you can't back up the hate bull crap you proclaim and quit wasting my time (although you apparently have plenty of time to waste).

I think several posters on here have definitively shown that Painter is one of a very small group of highly successful coaches, especially at this point in his career. The inconvenient statistics prove it. Not going to drag those back up. If you cared, you can look them up.

This year he has gotten more out of these players than almost any other coach could have. Remember the predictions? Wha-wha-wha, we lost the best player Purdue has had in this epoc, so how could this 2017-2018 team possibly be better? Well so far it has.

Painter is anything but a mediocre coach. Time after time when you spewed this nonsense, good fans have taken time to explain how you are wrong. The fact that you still come on here with this junk is reveling you as just a hater. Haters gonna hate. Nuff' said.

The thing that amazes me is that it's not like there's other reasons to hate him or hold some grudge: He's a flipping Purdue alum who played basketball here, he runs a clean program, he recruits good kids that represent Purdue well, he's a nice guy, etc.

I don't get the personal grudges people seem to have. I'd be shocked if you could find one respected and knowledgeable basketball expert that thinks Purdue can do better.

Your last paragraph is right on. At this point the only thing that can explain it is a personal grudge. I posted a graph a while ago that listed coaches and NCAA appearances and CMP is ranked rather high for his age let alone coaching as far as wins in the NCAA tourney.

It doesn't bother me if people want to critique CMP, that is what these forums are for, but when your comments are laced with an agenda, that is where I have an issue. Like when someone only comes out after a loss and second guesses everything Painter does, that is a clear indicator of an agenda.

I forget who said this, but I would love it if they sacked up and called in to his radio show. I would love to listen to CMP embarrass them and expose them for the ignorant haters they are.

So you want a coach that will get us to "where we are better than a No. 1 seed." Interesting, sort of like a perpetual motion machine. One thing I learned as I got older was that "the older I got, the smarter my father got." You just may learn as you get a little, or maybe a lot, older, is that CMP is the real deal and we are very lucky to have him.

Sigh, it was sarcasm. Painter has done a great job. We are a No. 1 seed. I'd be surprised if we didn't get a share of our second straight conference title. Fans complaining and asking for a different coach right now are either trolls or morons or both.

unlike some on this board, I have a life outside this board. Valentines Day took precedence over posting on this forum. I posted in several threads arguing with South sider yesterday or the day before. When called out, I replied to a poster on the football board. he asked me when any of my predictions were ever right. So I listed several examples. and then he got mad and claimed I was bragging. I don't post every day, and I also seldom post during game threads. I don't believe any of my posts have ever been over - reactions. they are what they are. if you look at my posts without knowing the outcome of the game, you'll find my posts are very similar.

I do believe threads calling other Purdue fans morons just because they have differing opinions should be closed or deleted. I was a little surprised the site webmaster decided to close the game thread tonight to future comments. When was the last time that happened?

I find it amusing that after a loss, it's not the negative realist trolls who come out in droves, but rather the posters who are desperately defending the program and refusing to believe what they are seeing, and saying everything is hunky dory! look at this board. one person criticizes the team or a player, and that post is followed by 10-15 posts calling that person over-reacting or a moron. the amount of posts on this board goes up after a loss not by IU fans, or trolls, but our own positive posters.

has the sky fallen yet? I have USAA insurance, so I'm not worried. I actually enjoy watching the games. What I don't enjoy is some of the commentary on this board. I've never been close to jumping off a ledge. My feet are firmly planted on the ground. I'm neither upset or happy Purdue lost tonight. I expected Purdue to bounce back and win by 20; but they looked exactly like they've looked since the Iowa game. And I believe Purdue can no longer blame the flu as other teams' players also suffered from it.

Something to think about. There are a lot of very talented teams that are or after this week will no longer be in the top 25 that will probably be in the tourney. Teams like OK, UK, Butler, and Louisville. those teams will come into the tourney as 6-8 seeds, and will be very hungry to show they belong. They could all easily become like Michigan last year and catch fire. the NCAA tourney is about matchups. Rather than worrying about second week matchups, Purdue should worry about first week match-ups.

I love people who call me names, but admit they have me on ignore. I guess I have too much juice for them. their loss.
