How many Purdue responses are we going to see complaining about an easier path for some coaches?! Lol!
I have a random question. How did Wisconsin miss the tournament 47 years in a row? No troll just find that extremely hard to believe.
Before my fandom, try @jwardelt
My guess is admin didn't give a shat about athletics until Donna Shalala (Bless her).
Not sure. Wisconsin?
I know two in a row doesn't sound impressive. It's why I was suprised to learn only 6 teams have done it. Given that, it must be harder than it sounds.
IMO talent becomes more important once you reach the postseason. But coaching can compensate for a lack of talent in the regular season much more easily. As I said in the initial post, I'd rank Painter about 6th or 7th as a recruiter, behind Izzo, Beilein, Turgeon, Miller and Holtmann for sure. I'd put him solidly in 3rd when it comes to game planning and in game coaching.
Last 8 years? Yes, it's us in the B1G.
We have 6 S16 from 2011 to 2018, missing 2013 and last year.
Yeah... synergy stats are the same stats that tried to say that Purdue ran zone almost 20% of the time a year or so ago. Anything that gets stats THAT wrong isn't worth two shits. Maybe it is a good service, but anyone that knows anything about Purdue knows that we NEVER run zone.
That's damn impressive. Bo was a hell of a coach.
I would agree pretty much with this. How would you rank him as a player developer? I'd have to say 1 or 2 in the B1G.
Yup....I don't want to play Penn state either. With how this seasons gone, it wouldn't surprise me too much if the championship game is between Penn St AMD Rutgers.
Ours are pretty much heartbreaking buzzer beaters so I’ll take a wild stab and say purdont.
With how most of the best players in college don't stay to see their 3rd year, it doesn't surprise me at all that there were only 6 teams.
No idea but we’ve made up for it in the last 20 years. 10 sweet 16’s in the last 19 years. Purdue has 11 in the last 50 years.
I forgot to congratulate both Purdue fans and MSU fans. I'm not going to lie, I still cant believe that Purdue finished tied for 1st. This has to be his best season he's ever had as a coach, right? If he doesn't win COY in the BIG....Gil might be onto something about a conspiracy going on in the BIG!

Hey Iowa please kindly GITT and suckle my taint juice. Regards, the corn
Eh I think Purdue matches up better against Penn St than Minny. They were the team I didn’t want to see.
All that history and you won't even tell us when the last time Purdue actually won one of those Sweet 16 games?
Not sure where anyone asked for that other information either if that’s the route you’re gonna take this
Which makes it weird to me that a Purdue poster would get defensive about @SNU0821 saying Izzo and Beilein are the best two coaches in the conference.
I’d guess 95% of the information presented in this thread isn’t “asked for”, wouldn’t you?
Yeah weird to see him trying to back up his claim. It’s not close. It’s never been close. Izzo and Beilein have adequately demonstrated they are two of the best in the country. Not knocking Painter, the other two are just two of the best. Painter is not.
You should read more closely. I’ll quote what I said again for you.
You do know what knocks him down below means, right?
