tie game, 47 seconds left, Northwestern ball

Montana state looking for their first win against a Big Ten team since 1930....when they beat Purdoo.

[LamarCheeks 19,728]

Toiletmakers down by 15 with 1:30 left. 

They gonna lose. 

[WayneFleekHoosier 48,794]

Homecourt such a big deal in college hoops. 
 

but this is Purdues kryptonite.  Alabama shot themselves out of a chance. 
 

i think Purdue is likely still top5 B1G team due to Painter and Smith.  

[LamarCheeks 19,728]

Marquette up by 18 with 30 seconds to play and the Toilletmakers are fouling. 

 

[RaceToTheTop 26,655]

Final Marquette 76, Purdue 58

[TheWatShot 14,343]

First Purdue non-conference regular season loss since December 8, 2020. First November loss since 2019. 

 

Inject this in my veins, please.

Lol @PU. 18 point beatdown. Anyone think they should be ranked 6??

Water finds its level

Kenpom dropped them 11 spots after this game, all the way down to 23. 

 

This might be one of those years where their AP ranking sits about 8-10 spots above where the metrics say they should be.

Who were both pretty bad last night. Painter did him no favors. He was struggling with all that high pressure and painter insisted on that ball screens at the top which just brought an extra defender. About the worst tactic you could employ, imo. 
 

They’ll be fine in the B1G because few teams can bring that type of ball pressure although I’d love to see us try by going small. Let Ballo mop up Berg and Reneau dominate TKR.

Purdue is probably still a Top 15-20 team. And the Big Ten isn't good so that'll help them come conference time.

Geez @Uspshoosier you gave us 2 teaser posts last night on the Northwestern - Montana State game and then left us hanging on who won.  I had to go to the trouble of going to ESPN this morning to find out that NU won 72-69.   lol

As @TheWatShot notes above, KenPom dropped PU down to 23. Painter's a good coach and they have the experience to be in the 15-25 range of so, but no way are they top 6, and water is finding its level.

Aww… that’s a shame.

15 Purdump turnovers- Marquette guards really sped them up.

Too bad IU doesn't have atheletic guards that can pressue them....oh wait!

I don't think there is a massive difference between 6-25 at the moment.

After just three games, Pat Kelsey is 11 wins away from passing Kenny Payne on the Louisville all time wins list.

Have become such a fan of that guy. Knows what he’s watching, does not suffer fools and is just merciless.

"After zero games, Class of '66 Old Fart is only 14 games away from passing Kenny Payne on the Louisville all-time wins list."
