I'm not sure they are allowed to call these games?

They call these games just probably got pushed back since tip got pushed back. Probably start 9.45 or hour before tip

Big wake up call for the Hoosiers right here....be ready to play and give 100%, because that is what it is going to take!

Just saying, these lower seeds have nothing to lose

As nice as it is to see Purdue do Purdue things, now we need IU to not lay an egg.

This is the meltdown taking place on Purdue forums all over the State!

Yeah, the Smith and Loyer backcourt really shows what an ace recruiter Painter is......

Something wrong with Fish pregame on 105.1. All you get is static. Same for my buddy in Florida…. BOO!

Since there is a game going on at the time of the ire game show they can't have one.

This may be a controversial take to some here, but I don't really see Painter as that great of an X's and O's coach either per se. 

In fact, I find him kind of gimmicky, with the whole 7'+ scheme thing he's had running for the last however many years straight (or almost straight)? I went to IU during the Isaac Haas/AJ Hammons years... we got 1 win vs them in Bloomington. So I'm sorta reveling in this one tonight.

They will always be little bro.

Painter would never have lasted this long at IU, Purdue has lower expectations but I would say Painter may be in a little bit of trouble now. That is three years in row they have lost to lower seeded teams...all games they were highly favored to win. Add losing to IU 2 times this season as well!

Can't shake the feeling Miami-Drake will go to overtime.

Tonight does show a lot of his flaws as a coach IMO. The FDU game plan was marvelous and really well executed.

Purdue couldn't buy a bucket, the coach can't control that. But they got punched in the mouth and flustered, and adjustments didn't really work. The roster may do well in B10 bully ball, but the last 3 years show it has obvious shortcomings in March.

On talent alone there is no reason for FDU to win this game: 

• They had guys playing D2 ball last year
• They won 4 games last year
• They are the shortest team in D1
• They gave Purdue bulletin board material and PU still folded. Charmin soft. 

FDU got a lot of lucky bounces (almost all of them if we're being honest). There were bad calls/missed calls going both ways. That's just basketball. But the fact FDU's coaching was energizing his crew while Painter was barking at the refs and letting his players hang their heads/shake their heads/whine at the refs, to me, shows Painter let everything get away from him tonight. 

I mean, when a #1 seed loses to a #16 seed, the coach has to be at least somewhat accountable, right?

Man this will be a fun card to play for years

I’d rather  play Drake

FDU was much quicker and athletic which forced some of those "lucky bounces."

It did just fine in the pre-conf schedule beating multiple tourney teams. They just panicked and went completely away from Edey.   
 

Just Purdue things.
