Seeking6 Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 11 minutes ago, Stlboiler23 said: In your opinion? If 5 of 16 isn’t acceptable, what is? The fact that you think John Groce is comparable to Painter speaks volumes. Groce has a whopping one S16 appearance in his career. Even you at this time of obvious frustration, embarrassment and anger should be able to decipher the two. Since I asked you a question and you answered with a non-answer I'll say this. We sent our coach packing when he was in 3 Sweet 16's in 5 years and 2 Big 10 titles....if that tells you what I think unacceptable is. Come on dude. Be better. I know some of the crew around here gives you a long leash but it is what it is. Painter pissed down his leg again. If the bar is 33% success rate over a tenure (33% being defined making it to 2nd weekend).....Painter is the man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re the youngest team in the conference and one of the youngest in the country so not sure what you’re referring to? Based on the fact that you have 3 Juniors on the starting lineup and another in Wheeler off the bench. Purdue only plays two true freshman and three sophomores/RS freshman. You don’t get to consider Newman and Gillis as freshman when you’re talking about age. Purdue has a very average aged team by today’s standards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They try to arrange matchups they think will get big ratings, and they remember teams that make an impression. The Virginia and Tennessee games two years ago were among the best in the tournament, and people don't forget that. Might also explain why Mike DeCourcy and Debbie Antonelli thought this Purdue team would reach the Final Four. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Officer Obie Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 The tourney is separating the BIG wheat from the chaff. It's been a little brutal so far but trust me, 3 BIG teams will still make the Elite Eight or my name isn't Johnny Busted Brackets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t seen a single published article or ranking list. The term “young” pertains to age. The notion of a “young team” relates to the guys who actually play. If you want to argue Purdue is one of the more inexperienced teams or is a team that lacks depth...fine. To be “an extremely young team” you need to be playing more than two 18-19 year olds.

So don't lecture me about how bad you suck picking winners. I did pick Rutgers to win which they just did. That's awesome, I root for Rutgers, I like their team.
