Frustrating night in Mackey

[Courtsensetwo]

One of our best friends oldest son is a student at Purdue, goes to roughly "half" the games. He said every game parts of the student section will fire up the "IU sucks" chant, and usually its gets scolded/shot down. He said he often sits near one of the sides of the Paint Crew, and adult fans closest to the student section ALWAYS join in the chant when it fires up.

They try to dampen down the students becuse it is so embarassing but no one stops the alumni.

Love it

Interesting. I never hear it, so it must be just a few people at most. Or maybe as Court would say, the roof is too loud.

I think its "self policing" from the students themselves. My buddies kid said it doesn't last long, but usually a couple times a game there will be small groups of students that try to get it going.

But...he only goes to roughly half the games...and he's not big in to basketball, or sports in general. I think he only went to 1 football game, as an example. So he definitely isn't "in tune" with what the normal student section regulars think.

Purdue is not that great.
They are good.
But not great.
Early tournament flame out against a super quick & athletic team with great guards who Smith & Loyer can't guard.
They are both good offensively but defensively they are a huge liability and why NEITHER are an NBA talent.
Who could they guard in the NBA?
No one.
