Zuckerkorn Posted March 31, 2019 Report Share Posted March 31, 2019 Purdue certainly had a much better season than I would have predicted. Also, being able to hit so many big 3's, and sustain it in the tournament was phenominal. It was only a few months ago, as the season was getting started that a few of their fans were griping about Painter and his recruiting - hard to say much negative about him today. So, as both they and us slide into the off season, many questions abound. We have multiple threads about our own various dramas but will PU's tourney performance create new questions for them? Will this stoke interest from top-25 recruits? Will Painter become a hot commodity for a place like UCLA? With all the exposure and gushing from the media will Haarms be tempted to test the NBA waters? Same for any other players? Will the PU fans finally create a respectable and thriving message board of their own (no offense to Stlboiler, but it must be rough to be orphaned with no place to discuss BB other than one of your opponents message boards). It will definitely be interesting to watch how things unfold over the next several months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Painter would be a fool to consider moving to another school. Hell he just bought 20 more years in West Lafayette with this tourney run. The administration considers him the greatest thing since, well, Lee Rose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobSaccamanno Posted March 31, 2019 Report Share Posted March 31, 2019 I actually like two final four teams, Texas Tech and Virginia. If either one could pull it out, it’d be great in my eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted March 31, 2019 Report Share Posted March 31, 2019 Today is going to be a tough one and sometimes I question why I love sports so much. I want UK to lose but to see Pearl get Auburn to a F4 given his assistant has a felony on his record for illegal recruiting? I also want Duke to lose but I don't want whiny a-- Izzo to be on receiving end of another F4. Guess when i factor in everything I'll still be pulling for Auburn/Sparty which means bet the house on Duke/Kentucky to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UCLA is one of only 2 "blue-bloods" that would overlook a tainted resume (the Greenspan/Herbert/Indiana debacle be damned). The other one, UK, probably sees it as "already trained."

He did take 2 different squads to the FF. I prefer to call him a money grubbing leech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seemed odd to leave so quickly after having that type of success. One article I read said he and King didn't get along. Another suggested he didn't like the idea of recruiting against Knight and Digger Phelps each year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billingsley99 Posted March 31, 2019 Report Share Posted March 31, 2019 I really enjoyed both games yesterday. Terrible play call by Painter IMO. get the ball to the middle of the floor. CE was very impressive. I wish Romeo would have played as selfishly as Edwards and that is not a knock. I have no problem with a guy who can score taking 20 or 30 shots a game. I actually liked the sets that UVA ran especially to get Guy some looks early in second half. TB is one fine coach. Happy for him and his team. I cheered for them to lose last year and pulling for them to win it all this year. I am very happy to see 1 knight assistant get to the final 4. Hope the other one gets bounced this afternoon.

Sun Belt to the Big 10 then back to the Sun Belt. Really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
