I agreed with the commentators. Purdue scored 3 or 4 times on plays out of a time out. Fouling at the end prevented a tying three and showed confidence in our guys hitting the free throws. Offense/defense substitutions down the stretch were solid. Pressuring Wisconsin up the floor in the last 5 seconds prevented them from getting any type decent shot at the buzzer.
This Team Stinks

I’m not the one questioning the toughness of a group of young men who are going to win the B1G outright by 2-3 games.
Keep pounding away on your little phone, tough guy.
It's ****ing tiresome reading your negativity here especially after a road win in the B1G. Please just stfu.
Fair enough. I probably should have directed my response just at the OP.
That comment was way over the top.
Purdue went 7-3 on the road. Insane. Fantastic year. Boiler up
Your face stinks
When did I ever question their toughness? I simply stated that they were playing soft. That's not the same as questioning toughness. I didn't attack them personally or question their character as individuals.
Keep playing the moral police. Only those who don't truly know themselves feel the need to constantly sit on their high-horse.
Clearly, your identity is much too tied up into Purdue basketball.
Keep calling people losers and tough guys...I'm sure it makes you feel better.
Calling them soft isn’t questioning their toughness? LOL.
Keep those thumbs busy, proving how much of a tough guy you are. You and losers like Dave K need to go do some deep self examination, calling these B1G champs “soft”.
Saying they're playing soft is an observation, and isn't the same as questioning their overall toughness as human beings. Not that difficult to understand.
I hope you find fulfillment in other areas of your life. I love you, man.
Easy to identify the Purdue fair weather fans in the thread. Easier still to see the iu trolls visiting here.
It takes quite the insecure person to call these young men soft. Keep pounding away on your little phone, and making yourself feel better.
When are you gonna cry again about firing Painter?
Wisconsin was hot last night and hit 10 3s. Purdue was cold outside shooting. Purdue still gutted out a win in a hostile environment on the road against a good BIG team desperate for win. How is that playing soft? Also, when play stopped, players like Jenkins were always pulling in guys and talking (leadership, not yelling at each other). So the back half of conference play has had tougher teams and more BIG teams have finally figured out how to slow Purdue down a little. Not worried at all. This season has been awesome! People I interact with in my business have been coming up to me all season and saying "you must be really enjoying this season as a Purdue fan".
Too bad you don’t have the balls to call these kids soft to their face. Or even to call in to Painter’s radio show and tell him that over the phone.
You make a lot of good points. That's the beauty of a message board -- different opinions, points, perspectives.
Credit to you for sharing your viewpoints/perspective instead of resorting to infantile name-calling and/or insulting those you don't agree with.
Truthfully, I'd rather spend my time doing other things than fly to West Lafayette and/or call in to Painter's radio show. I'll stick with the message board.
I love you, man. I send you nothing but peace and love.
Yep, just what I thought. You and Dave K are keyboard tough guys.
You two keep pounding away on your little phones!!
We’re all praying that you grow a pair someday.
Until then, keep anonymously calling our Boilers soft and crying that Painter should be fired!!
Yes. With
this good team to watch, it seems some fans have that constant rain cloud over their head like Joe Btfsplk of Li'l Abner.
Good point. Also--one of the toughest things to do late in the season is go on the road and beat bubble teams on their home court. Wisconsin absolutely needed a win last night and threw everything they had at Purdue. Purdue found a way to win without playing particularly great basketball.
This you? LOL

Hate to say it, but it’s time for Painter to go.He’s a good coach, representative of the university, and leader of young men, but it’s time to move on.
Can’t continue to let the fear-based mindset of “we’ll be just like IU if we fire Painter” serve as a primary reason for keeping Painter around.
Look, it’s been 18 years. The proof is what it is. This program will remain good, not great as long as Painter is in charge.
Firing Painter may very well result in a temporary step back, but if this program ever wants to carve a new identity and get over the hump, it has to be done. Painter simply hasn’t proven that he can make the proper in-game adjustments on a consistent basis, on the biggest stage.
Change is difficult, but the only constant in life.
“The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.”
Such an Emo-Boy…
Okay, so almost a year ago. I was wrong and I no longer believe Painter should be fired. That's the beautiful thing about being human -- we're allowed to change our minds.
I still love you.
I really believe that our three point shooters (freshmen) would hit alot more 3`s if they put a little more air under the ball.
my opine, I think we got a little exposed earlier, then the schedule got tougher defensive teams to play, and we are not getting the amount of fouls called earlier
I swear we have the worst fan base in America.
Reading this board you would think we were .500 and trying to make the Tourney as an 11 seed.
We are going to win the B1G by 3 games, be a #1 seed in the NCAA tournament (barring total collapse
This weekend) and Vegas has us with the fifth best odds to win it all.
But here? we are weak, slow, can’t shoot and backed our way into the BI1G title. We will be lucky to reach the second weekend.
Crazy.
You can say (freshman) Loyer is susceptible to being taken out of his game with physicality without calling him soft and weak. As if every other frosh has come in filled out and a physical specimen. You can point out Morton’s shortcomings without saying he doesn’t belong in the B1G. He hit two massive three’s last night btw
Our institution is amazing. Our fan base leaves alot to be desired.

To quote Mike Tyson. Boiler dic. Everyone is a tough guy until they’ve been punched in the face. Have you ever been in a fight and punched in the face or do you work in a cubicle calling people soft?
Fletcher especially has been rushing his shots. He struggles so much to get open that even when he is he's rushing it. Seemed better against Wis in the 1st half and nice to see. Can be a BIG x factor again...
Also nice to see him match Essegian so we didn't have to hear how Painter made a mistake.
No you pretty much whine and cry all year, every year. But we’re all used to your tantrums at this point.
I get where you're coming from. But, let's try not to let a handful of message board posters define the entire fan base. Purdue basketball social media has had a positive buzz all year and probably attracts a much bigger and more representative following than this very small community of maybe 50 or 100 people.
Forgot to mention it was senior night too. I knew this one would be toug
After awhile conference teams get use to what your running and tend to take plays away that’s worked before you have to run different sets of plays and hit your open shots so you can throw it in to big guy
