3/17 Games
- Status
Although it wasn't 500 paper cuts, I believe this is what PU did to Illinois in their game. Makes sense.
Bro just beat a 1 as a 16 he gets to be whatever he wants right now
So now Matt Painter has lost in consecutive NCAA tourneys to a 13, a 15 and a 16 seed. And our fans complain that BU can't get out of the first weekend after losing to an 8, a 5, and an 8 consecutively.
I don't know if I'm allowed to say this here, but hopefully everyone will get off Painter's jock. I do not envy his resume. Consistently above average but never a threat to be elite. Nice guy though.
The Refs were balanced. They missed calls (Charges, arm grabbing, blocked shots) equally in the last 5 minutes. But maybe the Big Ten will tell their officials to start calling all this shXX. Because B1G teams need to learn to pass and shoot, not just beat each other up. PSU and NW seem to play more of an NCAA game this year, than anyone else in the B1G.

At least we aren’t AZ, VA,and PU. Ha ha! I bet their board is melting.
yes, gillis and others that had bricked a ton were wide open for 3 numerous times, thought, hesitated, passed, only for next up to do the same
Big ten teams routinely lack the athleticism/length/quickness combination. Lots of strong, slow guys with generally high skill levels. The problem is when you meet teams who have high skill levels with the athleticism/length/quickness combination you’re screwed.
FDU didn’t have much length, but their athleticism and quickness allowed them to play “lengthier” vs Purdue.

Wouldn’t this also apply to Underwood?
It had to be maddeningly frustrating to Purdue's outside guys. FDU just literally let them shoot unguarded 3's repeatedly and multiple guys just couldn't make any.
That and Edey vanishing in the last 10 minutes didn't help either. Painter has a rep as a tourney choker and this one cements it.

Is that Matt in the Purdue locker room?
Not only did Purdue lose to a 16 seed but they lost to a team that shouldn't have even been in the tourney!
FDU lost their conference tourney final to Merrimack but Merrimack was declared ineligible because they are still transitioning to D1.

So FDU did not win their conference, and got in due to the rule about new D1 schools being ineligible (Merrimack won). Then they were a Last 4 and had to win a play-in game, to earn a 16 seed.
I know UMBC won by 20 but this is awfully close to a bigger upset.
Edit: just saw @Miles Leonard post. Great minds!

If Edey comes back next year, we match up against them with 5 guard/wings

me too bro.....I turned on the Blues-capitals hockey game and then see this happenin....wow...Az-Va-Purdont out 1st rd. .......wow...
BTW , to all the Blues fans , they are playing their BEST game since the Tarasenko trade went down .....Up 4-0 on the road with Binner getting suspended for 2 games and joel hofer in goal tonight.....
Not if he can get Zach to return. If so, they will give him another chance as his guards will be better next year.
Purdue made the sweet sixteen last year...
