Week of 1/29 Games Thread

46 attempts to 8.

I'm not sure what was worse with a discrepancy that lopsided.... listening the Purdue fans whine about like the one time in 45 minutes a call actually went NU's way, or listening to Hummel not call out any of those bad calls. Both nauseating

46 free throws to 8, that's insane

 

[WeWillWhen]

NW got completely screwed by the refs. Unreal.

 

[jacekpardol]

46-8 ft difference for the game.

That’s crazy

Purdue fans firmly believe their guys have never, in the history of the sport, committed a foul.

Collins shaking Painter's hand while in the midst of losing his mind was the best part of that ejection.

Hugging Edey was a highlight as well

Ya, I'm being down vote to hell on Reddit for calling it out. They are insufferable! I...might...be changing my most hated Indiana team...NAHHHHHH! Not yet, but we will see...

Collin’s should absolutely blow up the press conference and the AD should be happy to pay the fine

Purdue is hard enough to beat as is, they don’t need help

I would like to see it. Anyone have the link

 

[Illiniam1984]

Purdue is beatable if the refs are calling a fair game.

 

[Thompson]

I hope we shoot 46 fts to there 8 when Purdue comes to town March 5th

46 attempts to 8.

I remember Lou Henson getting a technical because he wrote "42-9," reflecting the game's free throw disparity, on a note and told Deon Thomas to hand it to the ref.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

not even gonna move up much because they ended up losing by 9. the NET is a joke.

We've been the beneficiary of that exact situation ALL YEAR. Our margin of victory is really the only reason our NET is as good as it is.

 

[Thompson]

Also to be fair I don’t think NW beats us without friendly whistle in Evanston

 

[jumpingjack]

This Harry Potter kid is going to be a problem next year if he finds the weight room.

 

[abchew2]

What is this home court advantage everyone talks of? Must be lovely.

I really hope Whitman starts to realize how mediocre our home court advantage is. Needs to be more students close to the court.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Just cruised by Hammer and Rails (Purdue blog). Wow. A few people acknowledge the hook, but still think they were getting hosed by the refs. For example:

Jones hooked him before he moved his leg. Look ... it's one missed call for NWU vs. 5,000 against Purdue; so it's pretty stupid for Collins to make such as arse of himself.

There were easily 2-3x the calls against us than there were against them.

That should be a suspension for Collins. Absolutely atrocious behavior. Refs have bent over backwards all game for his team. He has zero to complain about.

How? Bungee corded from the ceiling?

That is a great story, classic Lou.

Classic old school move LOL

I am terrified at the idea of an engineering school being that bad at basic math.

the vast majority of the lower bowl should be students

Need another renovation to undo what was done.
Change the name back to Assembly Hall or call it the House of Paign I am fine with either but stop the corporate sell out

 

[jumpingjack]

Not gonna lie, that IHOP commercial slaps...which is good because BTN shows it every fifteen minutes.

You've cracked the code, fans are homers. This was so obvious. I don't know why we didn't think of this before?

Kentucky and Florida tied at 75 with over 3 minutes remaining in the game.
