Danny DeVito as Braden Smith is priceless. You can tell he really bought into the role.

Fantastic performance! 

If DeVito is Smith than Loyer is William Redfield

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.

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. 

My predictions for games are rarely correct, so I'll leave this here lol

Colvin
Berg
Heide
Waddell
Harris 
Cox
Burgess

They are currently over signed by 1. I could see a couple guys transferring and them adding another piece from the portal. 
 

Doesn't look intimidating to me

You'd have to be as out of touch as Woodson to try such a thing.  This isn't 2014 John.

Find it so enjoyable watching Turdoo fans pee themselves on Twitter as UConn fans flame their guards and say they're not even D1 level... their fans act so outraged as if they didn't just watch their entire team outside of Edey get totally shut down for 40 minutes. I may replay that title game just for kicks periodically throughout the offseason

His political maneuvering is even worse than his basketball Xs and Os. Shows a pretty huge ego, too, and definitely not very aware, as you say, to think that people would fight so hard to keep him that the AD would resign.

Yeah, whenever I look for a savior, I think immediately of the AD for DuhPaul.

Not buying that story

So Cal is more like Woody than we thought.  The self-aware part.

Can we petition BTN to replay it when it's IU day this summer? What are the options from this past year besides WBB; eeking out a FB overtime win vs Akron or the fire alarm game?

Outstanding call

The PUkes are crying and whining all over Facebook today. They just can't seem to get over how old IU's banners are. I have reminded them ALL of those IU banners are newer than that "Helms Banner" they hang? Did I really see that or is it my imagination as I seriously don't remember. 

I am taking these facts from someone else on X ... PUkes had their best chance of winning a NC the past two years. NPOY, B1G Champs, #1 NCAA seeds .. yet .500 record vs IU in those last two years ... Zero Banners.

They also seem to forget the antics of Gene Keady when crying about Hurley last night on the sidelines.

It's all good though.

Man, in addition to Cal overevaluating his importance ... if I'm DePaul I'm looking into this -- and possibly telling Peevey to hit the bricks.

I have zero sympathy for Purdue fans, because they've been spoiled rotten the past 3 years. But I think the idea that they were one win away from having a banner of their own and it didn't happen is going to haunt them for awhile. You have to remember this was only the third time they've ever reached a Final Four. They're used to season-ending failures, but rarely have they ever had to wait that long for it.
