Purdue (Athletics, as a whole) - 3 national championships

True.  But I never really considered them our peer in athletics.

I am bias but I think Dan Hurley has a strong case for best CBB coach right now. Curious what they will be like next year, I assume what they are losing this year will be much tougher to replace than last year... but who knows

I don't think it's particularly close. ESPN is projecting them as #4 next season without projecting them to have a single returning starter.

Good for Fletcher Loyer. Prominently featured in One Shining Moment. As long as he can make sure his grandchildren never see tape of the championship game he’ll be quite the family hero.

I've managed to ignore a good deal of Purdue social media noise the last few weeks, but something that caught my eye today was that Lafayette schools are having a 2 hour delay tomorrow so kids could stay up late to watch this game. 

 

I wonder how many kids will stay home? I was still in school when Illinois made it to the final game, and knew an Illinois fan who was a no-show the next day.

Hey go easy on Loyer!

Although FWIW, it is notable that Loyer had the same amount of points and assists tonight that I did, but I had fewer turnovers and committed fewer fouls.

Great season by the pu fighting Edey’s but this game shows the gap between the Big Ten and the elites of college basketball. The skill level between the teams was marginal but the athleticism was night and day.

Boy that was rough for him. I ain’t mad about it.

Ummm no, it showed the gap between Purdue and one of the most dominant teams in NCAA tournament history.

Yep the big ten is still so far away.

The B1G 10 may slowly start to adapt in terms of playing style now with May and Musselman joining the conference.

Not sure if I see IU being part of that adaptation, however. I expect we’ll know soon enough.

That spiced Coke sounds unappealing. 

Catching up on this thread and seeing this pop up randomly in the midst of it all was overly hilarious for me, thank you lol.

I wonder if Purdoo fans wept themselves to sleep while blubbering, "IU... Sucks. I...U...su-u-u-cksss!!" 

I sure hope they did.

And I hope they wake up still doing it.

[IUCrazy2 2,497]

On this morning I take solace in the fact that I never have to watch Edey play a game again.  Bye bye coddled foul machine.

Purdue got upset by FDU, St. Peter's (both NJ schools) and their a$$ kicked by UConn, led by a coach from Jersey City. Just sayin... feeling the Jersey pride this AM. Purdue sucks!

Other than Self and his insane consistency, I’m not sure what the argument would be for anyone else.

I’ll just leave this here. So happy that I don’t have to listen to the annoying Turdodo fan base.

SIAP, but Purdon't shot a Woodsian 1-7 from three.

Oh they did weep themselves to sleep and had nightmares last night of IU and no banners. Below is one of my cousin’s post on Facebook who is a professor at Purdue. It is taking all my might not to make a comment on it. But if I did what comment should I leave…?
