POTFB Game Thread: Indiana Hoosiers vs. Purdue Boilermakers (2/27 at 7PM on FS1)

[DLG3 1,038]

We played very badly but didn’t get blown away and I’ll take that. As much as I dislike Purdue it’s very hard to win in that machinery shed of a gym.

There’s no offensive flow. It’s such a horribly constructed offense

Doesn’t help when the good looks that appear aren’t converted. There’s a reason this team is dangerous as hell when they make shots and putrid when they don’t.

I think they were mooing.

This sucked. But, a few bad calls, and not hitting water falling out of a boat, I'll take it. We should be going dancing, not the Toiletmakers. 

[DChoosier 8,166]

It stinks that Purdue owns us but win the two remaining home games and we will be back in the dance. In the immortal words of Carl Spackler/Bill Murray in Caddyshack....”so we have that going for us, which is nice”.

Brando’s love affair with Al was bizarre. Glad that’s over. Now I have to endure the Illinois game Sunday. That should be fun.

You can’t remember all the way back to last year?

This team is equally as bad.

I’m sorry but Al Durham is a junior captain and was a total no show. He is needed for leadership and he was scared in the moment.  Sack up or sit on the bench. I thought Franklin needed for run tonight. He at least wasn’t afraid.

Shooting will cure all with this team. We know our guards are streaky when it comes to that, and this may come as a surprise to this bipolar fan base, but college rosters don’t change throughout the season. Let’s get the next three.

[Brass Cannon 24,366]

I just don’t understand what we did to prep for this game. Did they sort out the stuff that worked over the last two weeks from what didn’t work then get the folders mixed up

I like where you are coming from, but future farmer of America is actually a pretty good gig if you can get it.  That gig is really hard to get.

Love with Al? I'm going to Omaha Steaks right now cuz that's where Brando and Trayvon Williams are registered.

Been hearing that for three years. 

[JerryYeagley23 3,254]

Most everything to be said has been said, so one quick hitter and I’m out: the Brunk, TJD, Smith, Al, Phin lineup needs shelved for good. Not to start a game. Not to start a second half. Not together on the court together at any point. It’s a very poor group that gets bad matchups at both ends of the court. End it. 

[WayneFleekHoosier 48,092]

As predictable as anything. Another fast forward game. Amazing how many games I’ve watched this year in FF.

Another loss this weekend.

Hope we can win the homes games.

Our guards absolutely suck!

We might be the worst NCAA tourney team ever.

And just like that, all the optimism from a few days ago is gone.

Love how Twitter people are overreacting to this loss...a game they basically had no chance of winning to a team likely not going to the tournament. You people up north probably hate Purdue, but I honestly don’t cross many paths with PU fans down here. I have always been kind of indifferent to that rivalry. At the end of the day, it is Indiana after all.

The UofL and pUKe fans I have to deal with on a daily basis, however....

[cappymo14 2,276]

That aggressive double on every post catch really worked well for them. Totally took away TJD. He’s option 1 and 1A. Remove that and you get Justin Smith shooting 17 footers as your only hope. We just couldn’t buy a bucket for a while there. Coming back from 16 down showed me some things. Ok, win out boys.

Remember when 3 star Remy Abel came off the bench and scored like 15 points to help us beat Purdue. Fun times 

[BGVille Hoosierfan 2,909]

Expected result. Played good defense but shooting was worse than our normal bad shooting. On to the next.
