Plenty of teams lose a 15 ppg scorer during the tournament or late February and advance to the Elite 8 or further? Do you have examples to back that up?

lol self owns.
only you two could mock someone by saying they don’t spend enough time on message boards.
You literally only have to spend 5 minutes on the main board to see that the word *** gets used all the time. Stop being a gaping vagina.
I didn’t say that. I’m saying you are acting like no other coach has faced adversity in terms of injuries, attrition, whatever.
Painter has had plenty of years to make up for the bad luck years and hasn’t. At some point you run out of excuses.
Purdue fans really do talk about Painter like Gil talked about Fran. Lack of tournament success is never Painter’s fault.
MSU lost Kalin Lucas in the 2008-2009 NCAAT, and still made the Final Four.
He averaged 14.7ppg, 4.6apg, shot 39% from 3, and won B1G POY.
Tore his achilles tendon during the game against Iowa State I think it was. Was never the same player after that.
Helps to have Tom Izzo - a historically great tournament coach. Also helps that Kansas shit the bed that year and you got UNI. Obviously it was an impressive rebound from that injury...but most teams can't handle that kind of development.
But obviously Painter isn't Izzo. I think he's a good coach that has just had some really bad luck with his best teams. Given the fact that we had Nova in our bracket this year, I think Elite 8 was our ceiling. Would've liked to play it out though with Haas out there.
Can't blame 14 years of Elite 8 drought on 3 years of bad luck. That's something gilligan would do

You seriously woke up again, logged on and than said I was triggered. How could you swing and miss twice?
"I think he's a good coach that has just had some really bad luck with his best teams."
Sounds like blaming his Elite 8 drought on a few years of bad luck, to me. If you meant something else then it's your writing that needs work.
It is discussing the bad luck with his best teams -- you even quoted it. It does not address the other 11 seasons.
Looking like Timme's visit schedule will end up as this:
September 29th: Alabama
October 6th: Gonzaga
October 13th: Arizona
October 20th: Illinois
Not finalized yet though.

Yeah, teams face adversity with what you mentioned. But very few final four capable teams have lost a 15 ppg scorer in the fashion Purdue has.
Is it really fair to call a team "final four capable" and "Purdue" at the same time?
Kind of like putting "good" with "Iowa basketball". Just doesn't make sense.
Things that Painter says to his team after playing in the S16 for $200, Alex.
Here we go again with the Illinois fans, whose program hasn't had an above .500 conference season since 2009-10, talking shit.
Is it worse to be bad for a decade or to need to be 50 to vaguely remember your last really good team?
sure he is. The Hummel teams absolutely were Final-4 caliber. Is there a chance they wouldn't have made it? Of course. But to deny they had the chance to win the whole thing is silly. That team was loaded.
Is a team really capable once they don't make it? Seems to me they're incapable from making it at that point.
Scott May averaged 16+ for the 1975 Hoosiers who lost by 2 to pUKe in the E8.
Michigan lost Trey Burke and Tim Hardaaay Jr (both outside top 100 recruits) to the NBA early entrance. That same year they lost McGary to a season ending injury. The team went on to make the Elite 8.
But regardless, Purdue having injuries 3 of 14 years doesn’t excuse the other 11.
I understand that you think they underachieved with Painter as coach. I don't think anyone would argue that you've have a few good teams that didn't perform to what you expected them to.
