Why can't we inbound the ball?!   EDIT: I posted this before the five second call. lmao

Stupid media timeouts are going to kill our momentum. 

  I'm more afraid we're going to fall behind by 6-10. 

This has all the makings of a classic Big Ten upset. Home team is clearly inferior, but road team doesn't play well, home team hits some bad shots, gains confidence and feeds off their crowd. 

Refs are starting to favor Illinois after being even for the first 15 minutes. 

Man, nobody can get open. 

This was exactly what we didn't need. They're hitting shots and gaining confidence. 

  Well, yeah. Most people find out about things after they happen. 

Iowa has somehow committed only five fouls in 15 minutes playing against Wisconsin.      Too bad this game wasn't in the Call Center. 

  UConn and Duke have more national titles in that span. 

  A senior point guard has to have better court awareness than that. You can't walk the ball across halfcourt when there are defenders behind you. 

They could just say "had you thought about calling a timeout during their run?" But I guess that would make too much sense. 

I imagine Illinois will have another monstrous crowd for this game. They view us as their main rival and always pack the house. Last year they had the biggest crowd in their program's history when we went there. 

Don't the Big Ten coaches vote on coach of the year? Crean didn't get it either year we had Zeller. In 2012, Izzo won it because his team shared the title. In 2013, Bo won it because his team "exceeded expectations." Crean isn't a very popular guy in this league; just ask Matta, Miles or Painter. If Wisconsin finishes in the top 5, Gard will probably win it. 

    Is there any official article/document stating it doesn't count? I would love to have that ammunition for future arguments with Purdue fans.      1996 was the year. They won the Big Ten, finished 26-6 and forfeited 19 wins because a freshman was given a $4,000 bank loan by one of their assistants while they recruited him. IU split with them that year, and the IU basketball database acknowledges its record as being correct (Purdue leads the series 114-90 after last night, even though everywhere else it says 115-89).      I just haven't seen anything saying they actually gave back wins from that season. 

WTF? It's 20-19 after the first quarter, I check back in with 2 minutes to go in the first half and we're down 41-22? 

Off topic: what's getting into other Big Ten teams today? MSU leads Minnesota 110-103 with under a minute left, and OSU is leading Illinois 67-40 at halftime! 

  We've only reached the final game once (2001). In that game, we lost to Iowa, who remains the lowest seed to ever win it and is the only team to win four games in four days to do so. 

  Two things Purdue fans always cling to when discussing IU:   1) all time series lead   2) more Big Ten titles     I doubt we'll ever catch them in the series, but it would be pretty funny if we won a share of the Big Ten this year and tied them in that category. 

"At the end of the day, we are still Boilermakers as opposed to the alternative"     The Paint Crew tweeted that after the game. 

  Dakich once made fun of him and said he always stops a game at some point to get everyone in the building to look at him. 

  Lot of "we didn't play well and you only beat us by 4" comments.      Didn't know shooting 59% wasn't playing well. 

Time to go read suicidal comments and death threats on GBI. 

How does a 5th year senior make that mistake?

Just tuned in, how did we ever get up 12? They're getting the ball into the post at will and we can't do anything to stop it.
