Purdue’s downfall will be a team that reads the press clippings. This team doesn’t seem to have the same effort and chip on their shoulder as other Purdue teams.
It's a treat watching both team's guards hit 3s.
Purdue is a legitimate F F. team.
It'll take some magic in the Hall to keep it from being another sweep.

Purdue can beat teams in so many different ways. My only hope is that as we get closer to March, Ivey might focus more on his draft stock than putting the team's needs first. Either way, they're scary and will continue to be for the foreseeable future.
It's a shame they can only get 3 fans dressed as clowns to travel to the games
Lol
Yes f*** Purdue hope they lose but just acknowledging that they are very good.
Go Hoosiers
PU has also mastered choking in the atmosphere of big games. No shame in losing to #5 Vil 2nd week of the season, but also lets not get too excited about praising them if they come back and win. At the end of the day, POTFB!
Four fat asses dressed in Vegas hotel carpet...great look.
If Nova could hit their FTs....feel their pain.
that game ended in disturbing fashion
Villinova choking a big lead is very rare
PU pulling off the comeback to launch their season

Purdue will win the National Championship. Just no weakness.
Except they were down 12 in the second half and Vil choked it away. They are good, but settle down. Or take it to GBI.
Nova went cold and pu got hot...that will win you games. First time I have seen them play, they are very good and balanced inside/out. They are the prohibitive fav to win the BIG IMO.
Their alumni don't deserve this team if they can't show up. If IU were half that good we would fill the place ourselves. Just a crying shame that Archie cost us Furst as well, he is going to be good and should be wearing the jersey.
They choked on fts, but over performed on 3 point shooting. It averages out over 40 minutes.
As the majority of your fan base is fat middle aged men wears dumb ass candy strip pants.
Thank you for that profound post and confirming what we already knew about the intellect of the typical PUke fan. Brilliant and eloquent.
Perhaps UCLA or Gonzaga will draw North Texas in their bracket and remove any roadblocks for Purdue. 😂
i think Nova ran out of gas. Their legs gave out and they started missing easy shots. Purdue beat them by playing 9-10 players, while Nova had maybe 6 players get any minutes.
Have Great team
Win Big Game

I watched the second half of both games. Purdue is national championship good. They are smart. Have shooters. Great depth. Bigs. Total package. Makes me sick typing that but any unbiased fan on CBB would have to admit that. If they stay healthy, tough to argue any other team is stronger than they are.
Announcers said Nova needs to find a way to lengthen their bench, alluding to that very point.
Yeah..
I'm a major IU fan for over 45 yrs.
But it's just the truth ..Now do I hope they choke out in like the first or second game of the tournament..
Absolutely !!...But with a high seed.
Their likely walk to the sweet sixteen...
Things get tricky usually from the elite 8 on though..
What do you mean the alumni didn't show up? 30% of the fans there had Purdue gear... in Connecticut. Philadelphia is a 2.5 hour train ride... I think all but five of our games at home are sold out and those barely have seats left.
nope. purdue's gonna do what they always do.
Minus a couple outliers, play to their seed and lose to a team that goes to the final 4? That's what they do the majority of the time under Painter.
Good teams, with quality depth, start strong and finish strong. Went from 12 down to ten up in less than ten minutes.
Wow, this team is good. The big man in the middle is going to be a serious challenge. And, their guards can shoot the three. Race and Trace are going to have their hands full.
They're very good but I'm not sure they'd beat Nova in March. UCLA and Gonzaga are just as good as Purdue.
Weird in the way that it sounds like you're nonchalantly saying, "We play just well enough to meet expectations and consistantly lose to 'better' teams in the tournament every year. So what?". That's like hearing an Iowa fan say, "No, last year wasn't a disappointment. Sure, there was talk of us being a national championship contender in the preseason, we spent most of the year in the top 10, finished 3rd in Big 10, had the NPOY and lost in the 2nd round of the NCAAs. But at least we went as far in the tournament as we usually do under Fran."
