I feel like Purdue missed about 8 point blank shots. Feels like this should’ve been a 20 point win but a win is a win.
The dude is a joke. I respect a lot of the IU posters on here but I have zero respect for an obvious troll.
Go away troll. Everyone here, no matter the fanbase, knows you are a troll.
Purdue wins but doesn’t get the cover.
Fernando is a beast and Huerter went god mode for a bit.
What the troll doesn’t realize is that at this point, we have posted on here so much that 90% of the time, there is a level of respect between the fanbases (outside of when Gil tips over the edge). It doesn’t matter how much he wants to troll, no one is going to bite.
Well MSU struggled with PSU so they are no F4 team. Nova struggled last week on a game so they are F4 material. I could go on but you get the idea......maybe
This entire game worried me b/c Maryland played about as bad as possible in the first half, but Purdue couldn’t pull away. When Red Mamba started draining shots, I got really paranoid that it was going to be another Arky Little Rock game.
Yep. It didn’t help that we bricked layup after layup and bricked 3’s for a majority of the night. Should’ve been up 20 at half.
Yikes article. Terrible look for Collins coaching future

Good god, even our home board might have turned to sht. I can’t even say that the team needs to make better decisions and play much better to make the F4 and possibly win a championship without getting jumped on.
Virginia-Louisville game was 8-8 with 11:05 left in first half, and final score was 74-64 for 138 points. I've seen some pretty fvcked up things lately, but that, 120 points in the final 30 minutes of a game between Virginia and Louisville, might take the cake.
You picked out one bad game and said if we played that way in March we wouldn't make the F4.......when for most of the season we HAVE NOT played that poorly........win streak is at 18. Your point is true, obviously, but to make it right after said game is not gonna make you any friends.........and it has no relevance to a game 6 weeks from now. Its like saying after the Minny game if we play like that we'll make the F4. May be true but its silly to make the statement.
Every win in the B1G at this point is huge, ugly or not........but has nothing to do with how we play in the dance.
Game was a literal snoozer in that I fell asleep at half and didn't wake up until 3amish to check the score. Was expecting a 20 point dump truck but instead saw highlights that RedMamba sort of Tiki Torched Dakota with some 3s to keep it close.
So congrats @bMORE607 for avoiding the dumptruck. Painters had that thing parked for a while now. Would like to see him start driving it again at Rutgers.

Purdue was playing at such a high level for a while that it isn’t shocking that they’ve come back to earth a bit. Hopefully, they get back to how they were playing by the OSU game, because I don’t think that last night’s performance would be good enough against the Buckeyes.
The biggest positive right now for Purdue is that they’ve only turned the ball over 58 times in the past 7 games. I feel like if Purdue can avoid turnovers and giving up offensive rebounds, they have a great chance of making a run in the NCAA Tournament.

Think the bad shooting against Maryland was a good thing b/c they were, generally speaking, quick shots where we weren't working the ball for better looks. Generating high quality looks as opposed to decent looks has been a staple during this run, and hopefully this helps us get back to that.
from the article:
Collins blew it, too. He sensed well before the season started that something was amiss with his team. He chirped — a little too quietly — at his players that they’d lost their “edge,” but what he did about it simply wasn’t enough.
“Guys were working hard, but you can always notice when there’s an edge to a team,” Collins said. “There’s an edge to their workouts, when they’re lifting weights, when they’re shooting, when they’re practicing. Our guys were working, but we didn’t have that same edge. We didn’t have that same hunger that I had seen the previous couple years.
Which reminds me of something a wise man once said:
Added to the ignore list. Got about 4 on there now, combo of Purdue and IU fans.
Perhaps this has been discussed, but I see the Purdue - MSU game is listed for a 4:15 PM tip next weekend. (It was listed as a 6 or 8 start last week).
Likely would have been the location for Gameday until the hoops world found out Tom Izzo is one of the bad guys.
Poor Gene Keady. He signed up this summer to be on site to honor Jud.

It's hard for me to keep track of who is who with all these new Purdue posters
New Purdue posters? Who else is new besides the fake Purdue fan boilerfacts?
Wow. Not a good look for NW and Collins for sure. As far as the B1G in general, the additions of Miller (IND) and Holtmann (OSU) with the great coaches the B1G already has...I see the B1G definitely on the upswing very soon.
I don’t even care if you get banned. I want you to admit you’re not a Purdue fan and are simply a troll. I’d be curious where you actually went to school and what team you actually root for. I’ll guess you spent some time at Ivy Tech and are an IU fan at heart.
