  1. Gotta love the irony of the missed foul on DeVries three pointer against NW and seeing Purdue get bailed out by Smith getting 3 free throws on a phantom foul against NW late in the game
  2. Potentially the win may be needed in the BTT because of the likelihood we are playing one of the bottom tier teams in the first one. More about avoiding a bad loss than improving our position
  3. Got to think the win @ UCLA may turn out to be a big one. From what I’m seeing we may match up against UCLA again in our 2nd game in the BTT and if we win that and both of us are still bubble teams I think that would bode well for us. Assuming we don’t drop the Minnesota game Wednesday
  4. Genuine question, no snark intended and our prior discussion notwithstanding, do you know or have a connection to someone who knows this recruit? If not and he hasn’t said publicly then we really don’t know if anything changed for him today
  5. In all fairness you called us all “POS fans”. I’m actually one of the more traditional fans that hate court storming and profane chants but am tired of the fans being scapegoated into what has clearly been malpractice handling of our program. I don’t love that they target one of our own players but also understand the frustration and when you miss the tournament annually thing can boil over. Our fans are the only thing that still separate us from Rutgers and Penn State.
  6. Mike Woodson is that you? Here we go blaming the fans again….
  7. Gonna take more than a good recruit to fix what is going on. Decades of bad decisions and screwing up something that should be easy tends to build up frustration. Add in a coach that most didn’t want along with players who are getting rich off of losing and it does have consequences
  8. POS fanbase? Don’t like getting booed then go back to the mid majors. Fans are sick of the last two decades and have every right to boo whoever they want. No accountability or toughness. Bring more effort, play hard and smart and it takes care of itself. The fans/donors are the only reason that a recruit may consider us. It certainly wouldn’t be because of our mid major coach and players
  9. Thanks for the info here. True question for everyone but is UCLA really much better than IU
  10. I don’t disagree and watch the play in games every year as well. Never really thought about the financial side of it but that does make sense. Essentially then it is more beneficial for a 16 seed to get put in the play in game
  11. I agree and hate the play in games especially for the 16 seeds. If they got an autobid let them play in the actual bracket instead of what amounts to an extension of their conference tournaments.
  12. I’d love to see what Collin’s could do here with the ability to tap into more talent. He’s a solid coach that is able to exploit matchup advantages wherever available and knows the rigors of B1G play. All that aside, if we lose to MSU, does anyone thing that the two games against Minnesota and OSU, paired with two B1G tournament wins could keep us in the conversation?
  13. Can we use next year’s NIL money to pay a buyout? Then it’s money well spent
  14. Can’t believe I am now wishing Woodson did get 1 more year. At least we would have the rumor mill to look forward to. What does Devries get, at least 2 more?
  15. CBS I believe is run by a Purdue guy Jerry Palm. He is usually negative about all things IU
