“Purdue sucks.”

Ask and you shall receive. See you after the portal closes

Boiler Down I always hope the boils lose in the most painful way imaginable. Watching that group of faux tough guys, “defense lives here “give up 48 and get systematically shredded by Arizona in the second half was satisfying. Flex on that Fletchie

The Diego Pavia of college basketball.

TKR getting called for pushing off is so satisfying. Very long overdue

It’s pretty clear Quinn and Ferguson were behind everything Woody. Indy Star even wrote about it. Scott had to fight tooth and nail to get rid of Woody in year 4.

I'd love for Matt to leave, but I think the chance is more or less zero. There are about 25 coaches you can place a bet on to take the UNC job, including insane long shots, and Matt isn't even on the board. He's comfortable in his little world at Purdue and it works for his style of recruiting and coaching. I'm not sure he'd do much better with the high dollar players given how he likes to run things. The "star" guys have given him some issues in the past. My hope is PU has peaked and realistically a best case is they're generally ranked #12-25 going forward and not really in the mix for big prizes. Matt is a very good coach that has had things working very well for over a decade and I doubt they fade from the top-25 anytime soon.

I think he’s better than you do, but tonight ended an era in which he found some absolute recruiting steals over 3 or 4 years and couldn’t get over the hump with them. I’m confident we’ve seen the absolute peak of Purdue basketball. If I were him I’d be looking for a situation with better resources.

Heck of a turnaround for McCollum at the end of the season. Lost 7 of 10 and was 0-6 vs Ken Pom top 40 away from home. Got into the tourney and proceeded to win 3 straight against the top 40 before running into Illinois. Looking forward to see what he does in year 2. Stirtz has been a joy to watch. Heck of a college career

IU used to be a basketball school. Now we’re firmly a football school. The number of fans who would trade a football NC for a basketball one is very very low, imo. College football is so much more significant of a sport, and we’re sitting at the very top of it.

“Who’s that kid from Greenville? Waylon something…”

There's some element of luck in hiring a generational coach like Cig, but no need to discredit Scott's role in turning IUFB around. It more than paid off. We won a title in the biggest college sport. That's a huge deal. No pitchforks should be out for Dolson because baseball and women's basketball aren't good right now lol. Furthermore, it's WAY too soon to write DDV off as a loser. I was also underwhelmed by his first year and think McCollum is a great coach. But McCollum was 99.99% never going to go anywhere but Iowa. Sometimes money can't buy everything. And our AD is on an incredible financial trajectory because of Dolson and Cig's success, so there's hope for the other sports.

I think his agent did an excellent job of scripting a comment for him that will guarantee him a significant pay raise.

My vote would go to murderers, terrorists, child abusers, etc.

No more Loyer, smith or TKR... ever Hallelujah.

Typical Purdue being dirty taking cheap shots on players when they're being outclassed. Very gratifying seeing them realize this one has gotten away from them in real time. Hopefully we get some tears out of Loyer, TKR and Amish boy

F em up Zona!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IU bb has been connected with Bradley sophomore guard ….. It could be this guy…. Jaquan "Bully" Johnson is a standout MVC player known as a "bulldog" (or "Bully") for his physical, downhill style, averaging 16.9 points and 2.5 steals in 2025-26. The 5'11" Milwaukee native, nicknamed for his tough, scrappy play style, entered the NCAA transfer portal in March 2026.

I swear like it’s impossible for me to watch a Purdue game without ripping my hair out (I’m bald)….like there’s so much they get away with

McCollum won before he had Stirtz!

Brad Underwood always looks to me like a guy who either has really, really greasy hair or never showers. Or both.

On one side of the Final Four bracket, we have a coach who should be coaching at IU. On the other side of the Final Four bracket, we have a shooting guard who should be shooting at IU.

Dan Hurley willed UConn to victory in the second half. Sometimes you just have to tip your cap.

MULLINS!!!! wow that was awesome

That was a brutal, brutal turnover by Duke. Boozer shoulda just held the ball or kept dribbling. That was a ridiculously reckless pass.

Hung 95 on a team in the elite 8….sheesh. Arizona vs Michigan gonna be a banger

Arizona-Michigan is going to be a fun watch

Film: On the Brink of Irrelevance Starring: Marlon Brando as IU basketball Scene: What happened after the Hoosiers retained Mike Woodson as head coach rather than pursue proven college coach, Indiana native and IU alumnus Dusty May.

Kwame Evan’s rumors are starting to swirl fwiw

I think people are reading into this too much. Coaches don’t flat out say they’re leaving and he’s talking about Arizona past present and future. I still think he uses UNC to get a big raise and more NIL at Arizona, so it may take some time for him to sign a new deal. Leaving a program that’s rolling for a place he has no ties would be surprising.

Smith assist hunting that last 2:30 of the game

and make the town look better?

Bumping this for no apparent reason. Pretty great year for college athletics, if you ask me.

TKR is a quitter Purdue is once again, a bunch of LOSERS! And that 3 is the cherry on top. Wonderful outcome tonight.

Oh my, Loyer getting outhustled to a loose ball resulting in a dunk while down 13 is delicious.

Most unlikeable Boiler of recent memory

These crybaby boiler sons of b!tches need to get T'd up already. They're constantly showing the refs up when things don't go their way. How can anyone find this team worthy of rooting for or enjoyable to watch.

Purdue sucks, girls are hideous, town smells like horse sh!t

Seeing the Amish boy keep doing that shooting ice water in my veins bit makes me want to drive to San Jose, run out onto the floor and punch him in the face. Since it's about 3,000 miles away, however, I doubt I'd make it in time! That friggin' gesture is SO DAMN STALE!

Not a chance. you came to the wrong place for that hahah! Ain’t no one here rooting for Purdue.

Purdue basketball is way uglier than Iowa basketball, for example. They're basically the ugliest thing in sports

I guess the Elite 8 is Ben McCollum's ceiling at 44 years old...

McCollum running excellent offensive sets in this game. Give it to Stirtz with the clock running low and let him make a play
