A lot of people on here don't like Dan Dakich but I put this loss on him. He said PU might go undefeated in rhe regular season. So Dan put the whammy on them. He loves IU.NW takes down mighty Purdoo. Was it a guarantee they would lose after achieving a #1 ranking?
I was engaging in conversation and having a disagreement. You have a very odd definition of a Troll. Or does my mere presence here terrify you?The irony of you calling someone a troll while arguing on your big brother's board is pure gold.
Run along home.
I saw a team have an off night while another had a good night. Exactly what happened to Purdue. Exactly what happened to Kansas vs Marquette. Exactly what happened to Marquette vs Wisconsin and so on. It happens. That's why they play the games.Could be both. I don’t know because I haven’t watched them or that game. If you are using kenpom for your stats you might want to stop. They aren’t accurate yet but by all means tell me what you saw. 😉
Oh hell. I could probably guard Smith. All I’d have to do is just stand there. He’ll dribble in that circle and eventually come right back to where I’m standing. 🤪I turned off at the half as it was nausiating watching Edey shoot FTs over ticky tac crap while pushing shoving and over the back with no calls. Smith is quick to the rebound, I will give him that but beyond that he dribbles in circles and cannot create or defend. X, Gallow or Cupps will defend him well.
When that "off" night happens consecutively against the same opponent, that's a pattern.I saw a team have an off night while another had a good night. Exactly what happened to Purdue. Exactly what happened to Kansas vs Marquette. Exactly what happened to Marquette vs Wisconsin and so on. It happens. That's why they play the games.
So Purdue had an off night? Not according to your coach. At his presser he said 89 points is enough to win. He also said defense has been a problem. It looks to me you don’t know what you are seeing. I’m seeing a team that struggles defensively and has a problem with bigger more athletic guards who actually guard. Those 3 big wins aren’t as big of wins as you think. I see Olé when it comes to those wins.I saw a team have an off night while another had a good night. Exactly what happened to Purdue. Exactly what happened to Kansas vs Marquette.

That’s called “Zoom” it works but you have to be good.Oh hell. I could probably guard Smith. All I’d have to do is just stand there. He’ll dribble in that circle and eventually come right back to where I’m standing. 🤪

Maybe the Big is tougher than we think.NW takes down mighty Purdoo. Was it a guarantee they would lose after achieving a #1 ranking?
Can't shoot 22% from 3 and have 14 more turnovers and expect to win. Northwestern played well. Might be the 2nd best team in B10.
Oh good lord. Of course that's enough points to win. You can score enough points to win and still have an off night. They aren't mutually exclusive.So Purdue had an off night?

a: to antagonize (others) online by deliberately posting inflammatory, irrelevant, or offensive comments or other disruptive content… trolls engage in the most outrageous and offensive behaviors possible—all the better to troll you with.—Whitney Phillips
b: to act as a troll (see troll entry 3 sense 2) on (a forum, site, etc.)… is also notorious, for trolling message boards on the Internet, posting offensive material he himself has written and then suing anyone who responds in agreement.—Mark Hemingway
c: to harass, criticize, or antagonize (someone) especially by provocatively disparaging or mocking public statements, postings, or acts. The switch came after the Chargers became the butt of jokes, memes and derision on social media. The NFL tweeted the initial logo Thursday, but later deleted it as the Chargers even got trolled by other pro and college sports teams over the logo that looked like a cross between baseball's Dodgers and hockey's Lightning.—Arnie Stapleton
I've done none of these.
Hey doofus. If you can’t see the similarities of each of the last 3-4 years of mid major Matt’s teams I don’t think you ever will. Defense… guards…and shooting. All the above.Oh good lord. Of course that's enough points to win. You can score enough points to win and still have an off night. They aren't mutually exclusive.
I never said the D was spectacular either. My entire argument here has been the 3 point shooting and the turnovers. Those are bigger factors to the loss than our D.
Try to keep up that you were on here whining about officiating when at a road game you shot a zillion free throws. Tell Zach to stop throwing elbows and Loyer to stop flopping and we’ll talk.Love how people try to make out the fact that we get fouled a lot as some reason to believe that the officials were slanted toward Purdue in some way.
Yes, we shot a lot of free throws because we got fouled a lot. We fouled quite a bit in this game too. That doesn't change the fact that they allowed illegal screens all 2nd half. Try to keep up.
Considering they won the conference by 3 games last year and returned everyone, yes. Until someone takes it from them.Who's first? The team NW beat last night?
You mean a whole of 20 seconds to copy and paste? What did you think I did?You actually took time out of your life to do that?
People that don't know the game thinks Edey is throwing elbows. I think it's hilarious that just because a team has a guy that draws a lot of fouls that there can't be an issue with officiating elsewhere. Dumbest argument ever.Try to keep up that you were on here whining about officiating when at a road game you shot a zillion free throws.

FDU was a #17 seed. It is no coincidence that Charlie Brown dons black and gold.Considering they won the conference by 3 games last year and returned everyone, yes. Until someone takes it from them.
Just take the L and go home.People that don't know the game thinks Edey is throwing elbows. I think it's hilarious that just because a team has a guy that draws a lot of fouls that there can't be an issue with officiating elsewhere. Dumbest argument ever.
Maybe. Or maybe Purdoo just chokes at every turn. Or maybe some of both…Maybe the Big is tougher than we think.
Well Purdue did manage to get to December 1 until their yearly gag, so I’ll give them the November National Championship again-for the 3rd straight year. At least it wasn’t Rutgers again who beat them this time.Maybe. Or maybe Purdoo just chokes at every turn. Or maybe some of both…

And yet TJD was the most protected player in the BiG. Chest bumps a Purdue player with a ref 3 feet away looking on…no foul called. It could have incited a riot.Every time a Northwestern player breathed on Edey the refs called a foul. They protect him too much, ridiculous!
You are correct. That’s why Purdue lost. Buie played 43 minutes without a turnover. The man was outstanding and so much better than the Purdue guards.They are, but also have to give NW credit. They played almost flawless basketball. 22 assists to 3 turnovers. That is extremely efficient basketball. They won the game despite being out rebounded 52-27 and a disadvantage at the free throw line. Purdue made 31 free throws to NW attempting 32 and making 20. This difference was mitigated at the 3pt line in favor of NW. The game came down to execution and ultimately, guard play. NW guards play was superior to Purdue and it made up for the Edey factor. PU consistently turned the ball over losing possessions and NW executed and was more efficient. That along with Buie being clutch was why NW won. A great game and a nightcap to the IU win.
Edey and Smith?Anyone catch Buie's comment after the game, saying that the 'two best players in the nation" were on the court tonight?
He's a good player, gets away with some pushoffs/flops...but to say that, is just a tad bit arrogant. IMHO.
Is hanging in the rafters.and the difference in programs
FIFYYou are correct. That’s why Purdue lost. Buie played 43 minutes without a turnover. The man was outstanding and so much better than the Purdue starters.

blah blah blah, Purdue is in 10th place in the B1G today, and holds the same overall record as IU. Purdue lost in the first round of the NCAA tournament; IU moved on beyond that. Purdue doesn't understand big boy basketball because they are too worried about the regular season and even then, look what it's gotten them so far this year.And yet TJD was the most protected player in the BiG. Chest bumps a Purdue player with a ref 3 feet away looking on…no foul called. It could have incited a riot.
And yes they lost to NW.
Edey gets mauled almost every play.and the difference in programs…if NW beats IU. The crowd won’t storm the court. Why would they?
But you are correct. They could go out early still again. They haven’t figured it out. I hope they do.
They storm the court because they beat the number one team , has nothing to do with the name on the jersey.And yet TJD was the most protected player in the BiG. Chest bumps a Purdue player with a ref 3 feet away looking on…no foul called. It could have incited a riot.
