cthomas Posted March 18, 2023 Report Share Posted March 18, 2023 Purdue had a really good team this year. They were the best in our conference. They lost again in an embarrassing fashion. My thoughts are that they didn't have a lot of talent beyond Edey who was a really good college big. Unfortunately for them, they are playing a game that no longer exists at the elite level of college basketball. I hate Purdue but like CMP and think he is doing the best he can with the resources available to him. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate Purdue but like CMP and think he is doing the best he can with the resources available to him. The guys on xm radio had me rolling. Painter 15 trips to the ncaa, 8 times a top 4 seed, 1 elite 8. They said purdue should fire him because he can coach outside the big ten. Another guy said Painter should be embarrassed putting the 2 guards on the court that start. said he knew he had Edey coming back, hit the portal and find guards that could play. One guy blamed NIL, THE other said well then the fan base deserves losing to a 16. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrflynn03 Posted March 18, 2023 Report Share Posted March 18, 2023 Any 1 seed that loses to a 16 should forever be barred from being a 1 seed again. I'm still laughing this morning. Best first round for an IU fan ever. Boiler down! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrflynn03 Posted March 18, 2023 Report Share Posted March 18, 2023 Another thing to pile on top of purdue. FDU shouldn't even have been there. They only got in the tournament because Merrimack was ineligible. FDU is ranked 298 in kenpom. 🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reacher Posted March 18, 2023 Report Share Posted March 18, 2023 Going into the game, one of my main concerns was turnovers against their defensive pressure. That was a total non-factor. Thanks to teams like Northwestern who prepared us for tough defenses. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted March 18, 2023 Report Share Posted March 18, 2023 Is Purdue going to stop playing teams from New Jersey since they have trouble winning against teams from that state. Rutgers St Peters and now FDU 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted March 18, 2023 Report Share Posted March 18, 2023 The Big Ten went 5-3 in the Round of 64.

rico Posted March 18, 2023 Report Share Posted March 18, 2023 I am still trying to wrap my mind around Purdue's loss. Getting beat by a #16 that wasn't supposed to be there? Getting beat by a team that had a play-in game? Wow. The Boilers are in the midst of the best basketball years they have ever had and this happens? I dunno. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they feature Edey too much. It restricts what the the others can do. The freshmen backcourt was never going to work in the tournament either. I'll confess I did not see the PU game last night (my daughter had an event), but my guess is there was an over-reliance on Edey, and when he was taken away, no one else was ready to step up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edey took 11 shots. Gillis, Loyer, and Smith took 10 each. IMO, Purdue didn't go to Zach enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
