Btw I'd still take Archie, but I said last year Beard reminds me of Knight. Their relationship rubbed off on him. Great coach and bright future. If I was U of L I would throw him a blank check over Mack. Just my opinion though. Mike White is still on my list of future stars in the coaching ranks as well. BTW how the neck hasn't the Loyola coach even been mentioned with any openings? Great run is usually the formula for a big new job. I don't know much about him though so who knows.

He's knocked Purdue out of the tournament 2 of the last 3 years. I like him.

Don't worry, we're due for the good but not elite team we usually get about once every three or four years that will lose around 8-10 games and maybe reach the second weekend. Then it'll be two or three more years of hoping for outcomes like the last two nights while we're several weeks into our offseason (I don't really believe that; it's the last 20 years of mostly dismal, boring failure talking...but you never know).

aww now

time for a new crystal ball!

As usual, Purdue is gone in the Sweet 16. They suck

Every team that had the better guards won tonight. No coincidence. 

[TheWatShot 14,067]

I've already seen a Purdue fan reference how many days it's been since they last lost to IU.

 

Never grow up, little brother.

While true haas being gone hurt them bad.

Yes it did, but I doubt they gave us much sympathy over Scott May's broken arm or Alan Henderson's injury so they can just continue to eat dirt and bark at the moon!

So Elite Eight play begins tonight. Loyola-Chicago vs Kansas State and Florida State vs Michigan. I’m going with Loyola-Chicago and Michigan

While we can understand their pain, it's not like losing a key player is unique to PU.  As you said, we lost May and Henderson (who were each much better players than anyone on this year's PU team) and had our title aspirations killed.  Another point is that it's not like PU was steamrolling everyone coming into the tournament - they peaked in January and were vulnerable before Haas' injury.

Sounds very Tom creany to me

Agree with all of this. I would think if/when Arizona gets around to doing Sean Miller, that would be the fit.

Oh good morning everyone.

More recently, the injury to Jordan Hulls in 2013 and OG in 2016 really hurt us from advancing from the sweet 16. Injuries happen

do you have a boy over?

It was known back in January when pu was streaking that they wouldn't get past the Sweet 16. They weren't athletic enough in 4 of 5 positions. If they had Haas they still probably lose just by a few less.

Ok. Now rooting for a Kansas loss. So far everything is working out great.

This morning’s Indy Star is falling all over itself lamenting how “fate” screwed Purdouche out of a Final Four appearance. Like anyone really cares.

[Brass Cannon 24,859]

What's funny is this reveals deep down Purdue knows we are better. For painter 4 sweet sixteens 2 championships in 13 years and people are jumping over each other to defend him. 

Yet they never gave us any slack for Crean and his 3 sweet sixteen and 2 championships in 9 years.
