Disclaimer: I did not watch the game

There are a couple of Purdue grads in the office complaining about Hurley being on the court and not getting a tech. It's rich hearing a Purdue fan complain about the refs! Also, checking the box score, Purdue fans must be beside themselves when Edey didn't get 25 free throw attempts. 

Technical on ware incoming

20-11 FT advantage and you still get beat... 

20-5 up until Purdue started fouling at the end. OSU’s first 2nd half free throws came with 34 seconds left in the game

Beard would be a home run hire

Yes please. Either this program needs to be serious about winning or accept that it’s no different than Minnesota. The program was built by Bob Knight, warts and all, so we shouldn’t scoff at a proven winner that also has some warts.

Big10 refs are absolutely the worst

Honestly they make games unwatchable.

I was told Gunn could shoot when he was recruited…..

Both fouls on X called well after the play.

It looks like this team was content with a 1st round win

Purdue loses to a 16, IU easily beats Kent State, Duke gets beat by 13…..Jay Bilas in shambles right now!

I mean Purdue has a nice team but how have more B1G teams not figured them out. 

As a 1 seed they’ll probably make it to the sweet 16, but that’s it

BOOM BABY!!! Eat it Boilers!

Only being reviewed to give Purdue a free time out

Love seeing Fisch in the background!

Best player money can buy…UK North 

This is just pathetic. Coming to an IU board and complaining about fouls when FTs are 31-8 in your favor. Talk about little brother syndrome.

Omg they are literally calling every touch from IU

DIcky V needs a cough drop or something

This is absolutely pathetic

I concur with this sentiment. Literally they, Bilas especially,  were making excuses on how North Carolina just wasn't clicking cause Bacot was hurt or Nance was a transfer or they are at IU and it's a hostile crowd. Seriously as if they don't face the Dukies or NC State multiple times a year. As if they aren't used to hostile crowds. Also the announcers were acting as if we weren't dealing with injuries. Nope just TJD was out 2 games ago our pre season all American. Galloway was out until this game. A couple guys have bandaged hands. Nope no injuries in the least. Literally every time they scored a basket you could tell the announcers almost got excited. Also they would go on 3 to 5 minute rants at a time about the NC team and Hubert Davis. They would talk about how NC could do this or this to try and loosen up IUs defense etc. Just fawning over NC. Literally it was a buzz kill to a wonderful game. Also the reffing was atrocious. What was the stat line for free throws before they started fouling us to extend the game? Something like 30 fta to 10fta? I have not seen that at any point in time where the home team was that disproportionately called for fouls. I understand with a much more agressive defense approach it would lead to a few more foul calls but not this much. IU had almost all of our front line with 2 and 3 fouls in the first half. This was actually great to see. Honestly this made the game even more of an awesome win cause we overcame adversity with some of our starters as well as most of our front line racking up the fouls. Our strength which is our front line was almost taken away in the first half and yet we overcame. This is a testament to our depth. We played 8 on 5 and yet still won pretty convincingly. The announcers kept saying this game felt much more out of reach than it was. Well no dip cause the refs were keeping NC in the game from the tip off. Ok sorry rant over. Haha. 

My favorite was when UNC brought in a freshman at garbage time and ESPN kept the camera on him for 30 seconds so Bilas could talk about how great of a shooter he is. No mention of the team that’s actually dominating the game….

GREAT WIN! This team is for real. 

Our defense is as good as any in the country.

TJD is better than anyone in the country. 

X is an ELITE college point guard.

We have TONS of options to step up as the third "guy" on any given night. Tonight it was JHS in the first half, Galloway in the second.

Did I mention, GREAT WIN!!

With X draining those free throws at the end, I had flashbacks to Yogi.

Lol Woody and I are on the same page, “Are you F%!*ing kidding me”

This is the most tenacious defense I can remember from IU in a long time

Sooooo much better than the packline

Just now, IUFLA said:

And only 3 on them... 

Woody needs to get in the zebras' ears and even those fouls out like what always happens to IU.

Malik has to be more decisive, but I'm struggling to see how he fouled going for the lose ball and XJ wasn't fouled when UNC tripped him going for a loose ball. 

I missed the start of the game when they announced the officials, but this feels like an ACC crew. 

Time for the refs to even out the fouls…
