Purdue will get bounced early.

Why? What do you think will happen to Purdue when they leave a conference that allows 75% basketball 25% rugby. Did you watch them in Portland or do you not know shit?
Apparently I don't know shit and I'm okay with that. It's still eliciting responses from you so it must not matter.
 
One of the weakest top seeds that is ripe for upset is Alabama. Undisciplined, inconsistent, if the threes aren’t falling they will get bounced Early in the tournament. Purdue is a much better team than Alabama.

I'm pulling for Purdue to better than all us haters on here.

Matt Painter is the best in the B1G. I have no qualms with our "most hated rivals" on the basketball court.

Now football and taking 2 of our WRs.... I'm a little salty on football.
 
Same thing that usually happens to big ten teams with average guards that are built around post players.

Sweet 16 is probably about it.

Here's a secret you apparently aren't aware of, its going to be the same officials. The same guys do all the major conferences and the tournament.

The tournament is more physical than conference, not less.

You're way to upset about what fans of a team that's going mother f-ing nowhere fast think.
Oh so officiating is the same in all conferences as it is in the big ten? Cause no big ten fans think that moron

Im sorry to ruin your narrative but the same group of officials do all the major conferences and the ncaa tournament.

Thats not an opinion its simply a fact. If you watched enough basketball you'd know this.

Some leagues are more physical than others, for instance the b12 generally makes b10 look like a pillow fight, but it's the same reffs doing both conferences.
 
I'm not whining about some bad calls here and there. I'm complaining about truly aggregious calls.

1. A tentional for "not going for the ball" when the ball was touched
2. A shot clock violation where the shot clock never went below 6 (how do they know they need to get a shot up when they have 22 seconds showing? )
3. An opposing coach standing on the floor and grabbing a Purdue player during a live ball.

These are horrible. Collins should honestly be suspended. And the big ten didn't even acknowledge a coach grabbing a player. I say all that to say turnovers late cost that game for Purdue.
Is there video of number 3?
 
Edey is dominant.

But do you really think their backcourt is "at least average?" Maybe for D1, but which B1G teams have a lesser backcourt? Minnesota for sure, maybe Illinois, maybe Michigan, maybe Ohio State. That's about it.

Smith and Loyer don't defend especially well (especially in the pick and roll), turn it over a lot, and cannot get to the rim.

In the tournament inexperienced, subpar guard play, especially at the point, is not a good sign at all.
You forgot Iowa. Any team that trots a player like Conner out over 30 minutes a game has the default worst back court in the Power 5.

I think Purdue makes a quality run. They've beaten some really good teams and they're record is impressive. They have a knack at winning the close games. Just my opinion though.

Both of those are awful infractions. You have every right to be pissed. Collins should've been ejected for touching an opposing player and that arm lock should've been a technical. Good luck in the tourney. I hate when big guys get a different whistle just because they're bigger.
Forgot the arm lock was even in there. Big ten said nothing about Collins. Couldn't believe it...

You can't blame Purdue for that. Tracy and Jones were stuck in an abusive relationship.

If it was juwann Howard it would be different imo. Collins is considered a good guy while Howard is an idiot besides being a terrible coach. The Big treats coaches differently but Painter is well respected and rightfully so. He's a quality guy and coach. Hope the Hawkeyes get revenge on your boilermakers in the tournament.

He is only in his third year and the fact he had an All Big Ten player ahead of him was a major factor. People constantly ignore, or do not know, he is a very good athlete who played competitive ice hockey and baseball before taking up basketball five years ago.
He has one hell of a strike zone in baseball.

I think the same refs may be affected by the different leagues differently. When Purdue was playing neutral site games in Portland no one was getting away with anything the way they do in big ten games.

And that’s what these games are gonna be like.

I got mad respect for Iowa football and most Iowa fans .. just a few bad apples here after reading the posts. Also some very good fans

From what I've seen, normally you relate well with Iowa fans on here. I think it's mostly just that two things can be true at the same time and you're striking a cord when Iowa fans are already on edge about our b-ball program. We know we aren't any good and it's fairly easy to see Purdue bowing out early. We went through the same thing with Garza. Only difference, and it is a biggie, is that Painter is very good and ours is really just kinda average.

I've got no problem with Purdue winning it all and I would like a B1G team to finally do it again because it's really starting to seem like it won't ever happen for the B1G at this point. Unfortunately, I don't think Purdue will change that this year. Could be wrong, though odds say I'm not. All I really have to go off of is history here.

In the end, I've no say in the matter regardless. Go be great and all that shit. I don't know why it matters what we think about Purdue honestly.

Those guards aren't going to cut it against more athletic teams.

Iowa came came out with their patented charmin ultra soft defense in the first half but they completely exposed Purdue guards in the second half.

If Iowa could have shot a half assed decent percentage in the first half they would have been in it at the end.

Eddy is phenomenal but Purdue guards will get chewed up in the tournament .
