My brother and sister went to Valpo, so that was enjoyable watching Purdue fall!

Congrats Roger Powell Jr
JT Pettigrew hit a big 3 late in game and had 11 points
JT Pettigrew with a monster 3 pointer late.
The Mackey Mojo may be gone. And as we well know, once it’s gone it’s gone and it’s hard to get back.
Painter lucked into a couple of 3 star AAs the last 6 years. I’m getting Bruce Weber/Fran McCaffrey vibes from the post Smith Purdue.

TNT game halftime
They have Chris Webber, paid cheater for Michigan, Jamal Mashburn, ( paid cheater for Kentucky?), Jalen Rose caught in crack house and Bruce Pearl ( need I say more). What kind of panel is this for TNT for the Michigan-UCONN game.

So ridiculous to hear Rose and Weber talk about Michigan and use "we" every other word..how are they "analyst"?
They looked poor and tired at the end. We should run them out of the enterprise center...
I've said this before. If this is going to be the second studio analyst group for March Madness, it'll be on mute the entire time. And I usually enjoy the discussions. But not these fools.
With their NIL, it's impressive he did what he did & getting those kids to buy in as much as they did to stay there
Love Paint. As good a coach as he is, they're gonna have to up the NIL to keep him IMO. He's too good of a coach to only give him those level resources in this NIL era
I think the issue is Paint doesn’t want to play that game. It’s adapt or die in modern college sports, and he’s had the luxury of not having to adapt last 6 years.
Agree he’s a great coach but he’s not going to sustain his level of success if he’s unwilling to play the game at least a little bit.
I doubt it. Kentucky just came off a serious probation during that time. I don't think they were that stupid to try something like that.
I think if we had Mirk for the uconn game, Hines would get 2 fouls immediately and we'd feast on the boards.
Michigan just isn't the same team without Morez, Mara, and May
Agree could be a big part of it. He can't play the game with a budget ranking last in Big Ten. Like it's not even competitive. For reference , the Illini budget is THREE times of Purdue basketball. Unless they upgrade that NIL budget substantially.....he's gotta get out. I think he's got another 10+ good years left in coaching. Serious reservations that's at Purdue w/o a huge increase in NIL budget
He's getting a DePaul budget. And being expected to competitive in Big Ten. ....
