I just got the best picture ever.

The on-screen graphic. The look on Purdue girl’s face?

Perfect.

 

 

 

Been saving this one from a month ago.

The shortest team in D1 taking down the team with the tallest(?) player in D1 is pretty poetic, man.

Actually, Oral Roberts had the tallest player (Connor Vanover, 7'5").

Who would they get? That is a joke. They better just enjoy their little victories and be happy.

Shrewsberry might be a better choice but they aren't smart enough to do that if they fire Painter. I don't know why Shrewsberry would want to that when better opportunities are likely in the future.

Now you know they'd put #1 seed on there.

When St. Peter's beat Purdue last year, it wasn't until about 7 or 8 minutes were left in the game that I seriously began to entertain the thought the Peacocks could win. Right about the same time this game, I got the same exact vibe. 

 

When Purdue made their Elite 8 run a few years ago, it was pretty jarring to watch because I thought Painter had finally gotten them to a point where they were mentally tougher than anyone they faced. In the three tournaments since, they've now lost games to 16, 15 and 13 seeds. Painter is probably near the apex of his career. Purdue may be embarrassed and frustrated with his postseason failures, but someday he won't be there, and they'll wish they still had him.

Lavin was right on as color man; with about 11:30 left Purdue went up by five and Lavin said they better put them away right there or they’ll have a big problem.

Andy Katz had Purdue winning it all. lol

Fairleigh sure I’m gonna hold any hearty laughter until about 2am to see if it’s worth it.

Man I hope this is a big wake up call to the big ten.

Right. A former D2 school won the tournament and because of a technicality, could not participate in March Madness. Wild.

If IU were able to make a deep run after getting shafted by big ten officiating all year it might be the evidence necessary. But honestly I don’t think it’s a bug but a feature

Out of all BS rules the NCAA has come up with, that’s firmly in the top 3. Might take the cake.

They took FDU coach's words of encouragement as disrespect. What do you expect your opponent to say? Lol. Eat **** PUewwww

[coonhounds]

Didn't virginal win the championship the year after they lost? Happy as heck just hope this doesn't give them enough determination to come back stronger next year

Yes, definitely top 3 if not #1. Makes less than 0 sense. I assume it has to be related to money for some reason. 

Because if you can compete all year and win at this level, its straight up unfair to take away the opportunity to do it on the biggest stage

Yea…and as Barkley is reminding everyone UVA lost their best player right before the tourney. He said Purdue is the REAL first round 1-16 upset. Lol…poor Purdue…always the bridesmaid, never the bride
