They'll lose to Penn State and drop out, beginning a skid and leading to a loss at AH.
Take that to the bank!

PU overrated at #17 in AP Top 25
- Thread starter peytonruIes
- Start date
We are looking at our 3rd straight season without an NCAA bid and people are throwing shade on Purdue. Doesnt anybody believe in karma? They still may not make it past sweet 16 but who are we to make fun of that
Putdue has been playing well of late. Until IU plays better, IU won’t defeat Purdue in Bloomington.
Well crap,I thought we might make it a whole day without a new PUke thread.....wrong.
I wish we could be ranked #17th. He lost four of his five starters and is still light years better than us. It is pathetic.
It pains me to say it, but Purdue is playing really well and deserves the top 20 ranking. I don’t see them stumbling anytime soon. They have this thing called chemistry...something our Hoosiers are lacking. They may not make it far in the NCAA’s, and may lose one or two they shouldn’t, but you can say that about a lot of teams.
People say Painter cannot make it past the sweet sixeteen,etc. Ok but we have not been past it either since 2002. We are not really in a position to be ripping on him given how pathetic we have been. Hopefully we can make an elite 8 again but I have no idea when.
Actually we need Purdue to lose just one more game and end the season in the top ten.
So I'm rooting for them for IU's benefit.

Even we beat Ped State. Purdue won't lose to them. Or us.
What a whiny thread topic. Purdue is playing well and has earned the recognition they are receiving.
IU is playing poorly so we have some posters crying and whining about Purdue.

This is the most jacked up Purdue thread I’ve seen on this board. And that is saying a lot. There has been some douzies.
Purdue doesnt have top talent but they have shooters, and play well as a team, and play tough, physical D. Purdue is not a threat to win a title when they run into a team with superior talent. But they play hard and they play smart. A poor man's Butler. They are playing good at home and possibly peaking right now.
You forgot heart, pride, and mental toughness, things that IU hasn't had for years.
No reason to believe that team is going to fall apart. Lose one or two, sure. Shit, they may lose to Penn State as no road game is easy and the BJC is an awkward place to play when 25 people are in the crowd. But, their mental toughness alone will prevent any 5 or 6 game skids like we’re seeing.
Sad but true. I was laughed off this site this past summer when I said that Purdue would be a team to watch out for in the B1G because they had a bunch of gritty guys who could defend, and that their bigs could really defend the lane. I hate that they are so much better than IU right now. Watching them move the ball, screen and cut the other night against MSU reminded of us when we were really good. Man have times changed.
If Painter were at IU with the recruiting advantage that he will never have at Purdue he would have multiple final fours. He probably would have your sixth banner by now. He is recruiting to Purdue which is much harder and still has them as a top 15-20 program.
Purdue has been a far better program than IU the last 15 years and that is just a fact. I do not like it but it is the truth.
As of this current century, the 21st, the head to head combat stands at IU 16 wins-PU 16 wins.
You tell us since you’re the one wanting to know this answer. I suggest starting with Google.
But they didn’t lose. As I told you they wouldn’t.
And it doesn’t matter if they can’t play defense against us. We can’t shoot.
PSU had 20 more free throws. We showed some weak points, but the refs jobbing PSU was not the thing i’d point at.
How bad is it at IU? It's bad enough where IU fans get excited when Purdue is in a close game. Hahahah
Went to your bank. They said you were overdrawn and there was no interest.
It's bad enough where I look at our remaining schedule and I can't find a win. I really can't. Who cares about PU!
