You made a terrible comparison of Matt Painter to Tom Izzo and Bob Knight regarding the topic of end of the year performance. Has Matt lost one game in two years before? Has he been to a Final Four? Has he won a national championship?
They don't even show up for games in Indy in any numbers. Obviously, some show up, but the next time they have a big crowd outside of WL will be the first. Hell, in FB IU sent a hell of a lot more fans to face TN in JAX than you did in Nashville right down 65. For whatever reason, pu doesn't travel well...never has.
I never compared actually. I simply listed where they were at on the list as a reference. You are the only person here that has compared results of Painter to izzo and knight. But since you insist on saying I did compare, you can compare. And the results of my "comparison" back up exactly what you are saying. Painter isn't knight or izzo. But you know I never said that.
The Virginia coach literally called it a home game for Purdue in the elite 8? Was he lying?
Ok, we will cut it right there. I have seen this silly comparison pop up a number of times, and it baffles me.
About 3 weeks ago he basically said MSU was not a good team. Their front court was garbage and they had a decent backcourt while betting on us to cover … at MSU.
Cut it. I'm not saying he's as good as them. Not sure what you are trying to prove?
Don’t over think it. A Purdue loss is still a point and laugh matter.
You are on an IU site on Saturday comparing Matt Painter to Bob Knight and Tom Izzo: what are you trying to prove?
I'm not comparing them. Never once compared them. I was answering a question about Matt Painter and used them as references in my question about Matt Painter that was on an iu site that I happen to visit to discuss big ten sports.
Had PUR won, it also would've made our loss to MSU worse.
So, your point is Matt Painter is not as good of a coach as Bob Knight or Tom Izzo? Duh, move on.
Right, it's still February .. not March.
This years tourney will be a battle between the SEC and Big 12. A close second will be the PAC 12 and then if lucky, the B1G will see the final weekend. But don’t bet on it.
Put down the pipe??? Who do you think you are talking to. MSU is a sweet 16 team. They have all the pieces of a great msu team. I swear it is just carbon copy over and over. AJ is a great PG, marble and bing are turning into the typical msu bigs. Then they have max that will be a pro on the wing.
If you're a Purdue at that given point, you do the same as what an IU fan would do if PU beats us there, wins the BTT, and as if that's not insult enough...goes on to win the NCAA Championship. Soiling thy bedsheets in a fit of disbelief is but a mild bodily reacton the first night, in precursor for what's to come.
I bet on every game, thus I have to make a case of why we cover every game. MSU was playing like shit and I said they would inevitably get hot and be great going into March, hoping it wasn’t going to start the day we played them . I’m right more like 60-65%.
Gene Keady created ugly BT basketball. Don't go crying about it now. You are right, it isn't an excuse. Sparty hit a big 3 in winning time. You take away ugly BT basketball, and PU doesn't have much.
Really? Two uncalled travels and an uncalled offensive foul by Ivy (per ESPN Highlights show) alone in the last two minutes, not to mention Edey's fifth which could have been called a flagrant 1 (per Hummel)
I didn’t see that you responded to the best point made yet on this thread…
She is waiting for you crapsense be scared, be very scared
We are gonna find out. I think Purdue has gotten a lot better defensively over the past month, but idk how good they are. And by responded, I'm not going back, but I'm pretty sure I brought up how they struggled defensively. I'll call a spade a spade.
