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…?  

"Banners" or "5 > 0"

It’s better when you add:

Indiana - 5 national championships
UConn - 6 national championships
Purdue - STILL 0 national championships

So much divisiveness in the Fire Coach Woodson thread and so much unanimity in this thread last night.  Gotta love btb.

During starting lineups they announced him as a senior and not a graduate. Does he still have a graduate year?

I thought they said this was his last year.

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

Hindsight is always 20/20, but this seems like a huge mistake on Painter's part.  The last team to beat UCONN was Creighton, and they were somewhere around 14/28 from three to do it.  I feel like Painter should have tried getting more three-point looks for shooters last night.  Not sure how much was Purdue players be reluctant to take shots and how much was the gameplan.  Obviously, UCONN's defense also played a role in limiting Purdue's three-point attempts.

Sounds like they use Woodson excuse methodology, that dreaded “hump” seems to get in everyone’s way, not just Woodson’s!

Just tell him Purdoo fans were ruminating on IU minutes before the game of their lives as well as minutes after that drubbing. 

And I can almost guarantee they were thinking about us during the only National Championship game in which most of them have ever seen Purdoo. Sad, really. Poor little brother...

Funny how that PU tweeter says we haven't been relevant since the Clinton administration, then in the same breath, beats their chest about PU women's hoops. 

Which hasn't been relevant since the Clinton administration!

Their game plan was the exact same one all year, feed Edey, let him work, force a double team, kick it out to an open shooter.  One problem, there were no open shooters, UConn guarded Edey one on one for the most part, and he shot worse than he ever had because he was never used to someone as tall as him guarding him.  Painter just had his guys stand beyond 3 in hopes they would start double teaming him, but it never really came.  Painter should have thrown some motion offense in there.  The difference was UConn made adjustments at halftime, Turdue did not

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.

Is there any chance he…and I’m worried to say it out loud…comes back to try to win it all next year?!?

Really don’t want to watch him again. 

He came back to win it all THIS year. 

 

The impact he and Caitlin Clark had for their respective teams and the games themselves was nuts, and what's even more insane is that either of them could have played a fifth year. Glad they're both moving on. 

[Alford Bailey 12,656]

The difference between Purdue this year and last was 3 pt shooting. Don’t let Jones and Loyer shoot open threes. It’s hard for Edey to beat good teams by himself.

Yeah because there is no moon in front of it.

 

oh you meant something else right?

[Alford Bailey 12,656]

I’ve tried to be fair and give Painter and Edey the credit they deserve. The did make it to the championship game. Edey and the staff put the work in. On the other hand I just feel like the Giant standing under the basket is sort of gimmicky? Edey reminds me of my teenage years with my nerf basketball goal in my bedroom. I think it is unhealthy for the game and I’m glad it’s over for now.

If you guys think that Loyer sux now? Wait until he's not getting open catch and shoot jumpers as a result of Edey constantly being double-teamed.

He already said he's gone and is going pro. Purdue has been planning as if he's gone so I don't see that happening. 

[Adillac 972]

it's an odd place to criticize Purdue after they had a dominating year...but the critique most had of them was they were a giant surrounded by opportunistic mid players and that's exactly what they were last night. Most of their roster is average at best. They had a great year and sure whooped our butts....but at no point was I rooting for them lol. My B1G or Midwestern alliances do not include Purdue even though I like Painter and wish him personal success. 

[steubenhoosier 1,398]

For all the props Painter gets for being such a good coach, I sure didn't see him make any adjustments last night that would suggest that he didn't choke on the largest stage.
