At least the article got it right. It's the students that are doing this. Juvenile kids that the adults are embarrassed of every time they do this.
Purdue Students Pull Ultimate 'Little Brother Move' Before Losing National Championship
Purdue students did not know how to act ahead of the college basketball national championship on Monday night. The Boilermakers pulled the ultimatebrobible.com
wait: it's not all the students doing it, it's the freshmen... remember?
Are you talking about Gillis? He's a graduate player and there wasn't room for him on the roster.
Painter recruited for those spots because in a normal year those spots would be open. Morton and Gillis both would be out of eligibility, but Covid gave them extra years.
I wouldn't say it's just freshman, but it's mostly students. The administration has tried to put a stop to it because the adults in the room don't like it.
Yes I know, I'm not disputing that. However, one of those times was in the S16 because that lower seed just beat the 2 seed before us. The one before that was as a 4 seed to a 13. Shouldn't happen, but does fairly regularly. The outlier was obviously the loss as a 1 to a 16.
Flukes happen. Houston doesn't have a national championship from 1983 because of a fluke. It doesn't change that it happened. UK missed having another Final Four in 1992 because of a fluke play.
When you go 44 years between Final Fours, despite having some really good teams in that span of time...well, that makes you a little brother.
I've heard Painter say it should stop.
You were also a freak bad call away from losing to TN the game before so make sure to bake that into your sales pitch here for respect.
Man, I was going to give this a thumbs up until the last sentence and then all I could do was laugh. We don't have a FF in that time span because of a lot of things, flukes being one of them. We could have had back to back FF's if Hummel's knee didn't blow out. Then there's the year Haas broke his elbow. That's just a few recent examples.
The adults in the room that made the voyage to AZ certainly seemed to like it.
Right, and Painter knew this 4 years ago. So its not like it just sprung up. Painter recruited over them and this is me mocking you for that. Enjoy
From what I understand Gillis has been saying that he wasn't going to keep playing. He was even approached by Greg Guard about it this year and Gillis said he wasn't interested. Was Painter supposed to leave a roster spot open in the hopes Gillis would return?
Conveniently everyone else just happened to. Its probably because you've been conditioned to hearing it so its normal for you. We get it. We live rent free in your head, 24/7. Hence the reason you are on an Indiana forum trying to defend our little brother.
Stephen A and jay Bilas disagree with you.
Edwards kicked out. that was an offensive foul.
Just trying to keep your posting vomit here somewhat fact based and objecitve.
I don't believe you were there and if you were I don't believe you didn't hear it.
Prove me wrong.
OMG, yes that makes total sense. Let's keep a roster spot open for the hopes that someone will return when they have made it clear they don't want to and pass up on a really good recruit. That's just dumb.
Yes, like they are never wrong. He didn't kick out any more than one would naturally when pushing back as you jump. He was trying to get separation to get the shot off. Sorry, but you're wrong and the officials agree with me.
Here's the best angle. It was absolutely a foul. He ran into Edward's hip. The leg extension didn't matter. The Tennessee player was going to run into him no matter what.

Well, I'd link the many photos I took from the event if I knew how. I've never really looked into it before as I'm not one to host photos online.
And IF Alan Henderson doesn't blow out his knee we have banner #6, so what. If if if
I mean, you guys still think Purdue does that dance thing at basketball…. But yes. A video would be nice because I saw or heard it no where. I’m guessing courtsense didn’t go to zona, though, could be wrong.
Btw. Saw lots of pictures of banners under someone’s recap on x of Purdues season this year. FYI
Ya. I more so just read it to follow the instate programs. Don’t watch a ton of iu, so come here to read how the team is looking when I can’t catch them. And there is always a lot of Purdue content on here as well.
They also gave indication they weren’t going to play a 5th year last year. Gillis has an MBA and 5 years at Purdue. Maybe he wanted to play somewhere else for one year as well?
You do realize players can leave every season, right? They're one year contracts. So every year you are losing all 13 players and need to retain them. Gillis was no different. Purdue is worse off without Gillis, right?
It is, just admit it. You think about us constantly, or else you would be on the PU board. Your obsession is quite evident.
Haas got Karma'd when he got hurt doing the hook and hold he perfected that year. Then he then got sued for knowingly spreading STDs...not a good finish to his career at PUke.
if there's a business for hanging woulda/coulda/should banners, then we should hang three more for 75, 92 and 93. Maybe a half banner for 2002.
The 2024 F4 is history. They had had their shot. They blew it.
Time to start talking IU ball again. Force these pesky mosquitos off the board.
