PU Texas

It was interesting to note that Beard was not protesting the FT disparity. You would think that he would have been doing so, unless that was because his strategy was to foul a lot and remember Purdue's history of having trouble at the FT line.

It’s funny that Purdue fans actually think that was their strategy. Even if Purdue shot 50%, that’s still 1 ppp. No one would ever implement that strategy for an entire game. They got hosed.

Go Peacocks.
 
Foul disparity was a little, one-sided... but Texas fouled the crap out of Purdue. Some missed calls both ways but Texas dared the refs to call fouls with their extremely physical defense and they did.

Will be more fun to watch Purdue lose to a 15 seed than Texas anyway lol

But if it was not something that Beard was willing to live with, why the lack of demonstrable protest?

Because he doesn’t need excuses? Meanwhile Painter was over there bitching about every foul on Purdue while having a massive FT advantage.

Your theory is moronic.
 
You can call names if you like but even the announcers did not perceive a bunch of undeserved foul calls. As was pointed out by an IU fan, Texas dared the refs to call a bunch on their defense and the refs decided to do so.
 
iU fans watching Purdue grind out a win against a team that would have given them huge fits in the past is rich. Styles of play make a huge difference in free throw disparities.
I think many of our most hated rivals are feeling a bit salty.
enjoy the rest of the tourney

Really miss your posts on the main board. Was fun watching you lose it though.
 
Honestly PU could win it all as sad as it is to say. They're bracket is a joke and they're are no elite teams this season. I thought AZ and Zaga were the 2 best teams and both nearly just lost.

They certainly have the horses and the region bracket has set up nicely for them. Nobody get to the FF without a break here or there and they certainly have that in spades, so take care of business and get there.
 
Nah, just crying for validation
Validate what?

haven’t they been to something like 4 sweet 16s in the last 6 tourneys, with an elite eight and a couple of B10 titles.

maybe it’s the people here that say that they have never won anything, and never will just because they haven’t hit that mystical final four bar?

The good news, is that if they do make the final four, that will kill that narrative here. There are a few posters that have been willing to die on that hill, derailing threads into post after post of back and forth nonsense. Maybe that would stop those IU fans from ending up in those endless posts?

Hell, I remember PUke playing in the Final Four in 1980. It held in Indy's Market Sq Arena of all places. Fortunately, they lost to UCLA. I was hanging out downtown before the games and ran into Dave Letterman and reminded him of our church daze. Our family used to go to the same church as the Letterman's when I was young, Carrollton Ave Evangelical and Reformed Church.

I went to that Final 4...Louisville, Puke, Iowa and UCLA.
Puke and Iowa lost and the crowd was chanting F*CK THE BIG 10 in the arena :)
Darrell Griffith and never nervous.. Pervis Ellison led the Cards

Typical....beat IU once this year and set the bar at final four proceed to come here and brag......Raise bar then go back to your board.

Whatever they do this season from here on out, never let PUkes forget that we beat them in the two game, home and away, series by one point...IU, the ultimate victors, the true champions for 2021-'22.

I don't think they will win it all but they could make the final four. Still glad Wisconsin went down and especially in front of their home crowd.
