Ivey is excellent but Romeo was not used well at all. Had he gone TO PU instead of IU I think boiler fans would put him the same sentence as your all time greats even with only playing 1 season. He was the most misused player in a bad system that I recall. Just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can't make fun of PU, I was thrilled they lost but to me its like making fun of my buddy that didn't get lucky with his prom date while I stayed home playing video games.

HoagieRoll Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 Well in that analogy, this wasn’t them ‘not getting lucky’. More like the your buddy having too much wine at the pregame and puking all over his date on the way to the dance. Was so much fun watching that flame out 😂😂😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The real question is will I attend the dance or still be playing video games and eating cheesy poofs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoagieRoll Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 Putting your own rules on when you can laugh at the misery of Purdue isn’t healthy my man. Every year it’s something new, don’t take that privilege away from yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rico Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 Well I have been dealing with Purdue's loss since last night and it has carried into this morning. My Boiler family and friends are just stunned and need my shoulder to cry on. I would think they would be used to tournament failure by now. I guess not. However my cousin Mike phrased it pretty good. He calls it "The Curse of Keady." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's with Romeo having a wrist injury his whole freshman year... I don't remember Romeo ever shooting us out of a game...I've seen Ivey do it to Purdue a couple of times...Last night he went into his "I'm the man" mode and killed Purdue in OT... I'd bet that he'll at least test the NBA waters this year...He's got talent, but he hasn't really harnessed it yet...Just the kind of kid the NBA looks for as a diamond in the rough...

IU Scott Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 Source -- Ohio State reaches out to police after E.J. Liddell received threatening tweets following NCAA tournament loss (espn.com) These kind of things is what makes college fan bases look horrible It is making watching and being a fan not as much fun as it use to be.

Ferg 32 Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 Well Purdue found a way to let me down. I needed them to lose to Villanova in the next round.. So happy and mad at the same time about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He took 24 friggin shots! Who else could get any shots in? And why did Porkchop keep Thompson out there in OT? North Texas kept using his man to screen for Hamlet creating a mismatch, which Hamlet took advantage of time and again...Christ, even a novice like me saw that one...

Because he was our 3rd best player and was actually making shots? Hunter was awful and Stefanovich was benched most of the second half because of how bad he played on defense. It’s not like there was an obvious answer there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
