Archie is going to be the guy. Every coach goes through a rough patch. His was midway through the season

Did we have any recruits at the game today? Beverly right?

Beverly was there as was Armaan Franklin

Rob. That foul on Winston with 8 to go was the smartest basketball play I’ve seen from this team in 4 years. The defense you played on him after? Well brother, that brought a tear to my eye. Amazing team effort today fellas. WHOLE team! Juwan, your work on the glass in the last two games has been master class my friend. You are my favorite player to ever put on that jersey. Justin Smith, I’ve been hard on you son. I did it because I believed so much in your ability. I knew there was a whole other level that you just couldn’t get to. Welcome to the show kid. Great game guys. No matter what happens the rest of the way, I loved the way you guys came together in these last couple weeks.

Absolutely. Cassius had the baseline. He had done that all game. Great foul by Rob. Really impressed with him today. Made it as tough as possible on Cassius

If you told me that Morgan would have 7 points, Romeo 9, Al 3, Rob 5 and Davis 2                         I would have guessed we lost by 25.

This wasn’t a serious rebuild” after all. This team has so much potential. It’s a shame it went completely into the dumpster for two months.

Of course it wasn’t a rebuild. This team should be contending for a B1G championship

[DChoosier]

Needless to say....We MUST win at Illinois.

Illinois, Rutgers and one BT tourney win might get us in. Two BT tourney wins gets us in. All is moot if we lose to the Illini.

[Hoosier Guy]

What’s funny is that this win gives Purdue the inside track to win the B1G outright. Oh well. Win some, lose some

Personally don’t see that much value in winning conference. All about the big dance.

I agree. Just saying though

[HoosierAloha]

Great team win. They didn’t play well at all but they grinned out a W. If they can keep getting wins they can keep playing... hello Justin Smith, hopefully there is more of this going forward.

Must win at Ill, they’ll play hard the entire game. Will we?

I still love Archie, but was (fairly, I think) critical of the coaching staff when this team had no energy for so many games in a row. Give credit where it’s due...the season was all but lost and they have pulled the strings to make this group totally different the past 3-4 games.

WE ONLY HAD EIGHT TURNOVERS AGAINST ONE OF THE BEST DEFENSIVE TEAMS IN THE NATION.

(Yay!)

Also, does anyone think Justin’s play today had anything to do with how many minutes Race got over him the past 2 games? Maybe it finally got through.

Same. Just because we love a coach doesn’t mean we can’t criticize him. Archie deserved criticism for not having the team ready to play certain games. He’s the guy. Nothing will change my mind on that

Won't matter when they inevitably poop their collective pants in the tournament (ncaa, not the meaningless b10 one).

They’re playing good ball right now but they were gifted a few wins and they have an easier confer nice schedule. They’ll crap the bed in the big dance, again.

If Archie can figure Smith out, I say he should stay. Key being his confidence and a team first attitude. As far as Green goes I’m not sure it’s posdible for him to get there with him. If he can and they believe in the team and Archie, with the additions next year, the possibilities for this team are definitely promising.If this team learned from the “Skid” and it builds character both individually and collectively i’m excited for next year already.

Indeed, and only two in the second half!

[HoosierSadaseci]

Really good win, another sluggish start, and still overall poor shooting and free throw shooting, but the guys gutted it out, and with hard defense came through with the victory.
