Weekend of 3/15 Games Thread

I am so ready for Edey ball to go away. Painter has done a great job of normalizing it under the guise of "you can't call fouls just because he's big" but it makes for lousy viewing.

He is back in the game now.

Officials just can’t wait to call fouls on whoever is guarding Edey.

If Kofi got the same treatment by B1G officials that Edey has enjoyed, he would have been B1G POY and NPOY.

It is so B10 reffing to basically having both teams slugging each other on every rebound and shot at the rim, yet calling the dainty touch foul 35ft from the basket

Interesting having Smith return to the bench. If he isn't 100% for the tourney that would be disastrous for Purdue

You can tell by the way he’s walking that he’s definitely not right.

Can’t believe that the Purdue staff is letting him play vs resting him.

Twice

They can't comprehend how strong he is, he's able to move bodies with ease which is still a foul no matter how easily you do it.

Hell, he would've been a 60ppg player.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

I don't understand why Smith is back in the game. Purdue should be focused on the NCAA - these are practice games for them.

 

[kyillinifan]

You can’t even breathe on Edey and they call a foul on Suzuki.

 

[OrangeBlue98]

There is a less than zero chance I'd allow him to play. Purdue has way bigger fish to fry than winning this game.

 

[cs04]

I do not understand the logic of putting Smith back in the game here. Purdue does not need this game that badly do they?

 

[aaeismacgychel]

If Walker dives there on the Gillis close out, he's shooting 3 free throws at the line.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Edey hobbling, Smith hobbling. MSU might be putting Purdue's title hopes in a body bag

 

[cs04]

actually the main part of Edey ball that I hate is how the rest of the B1G tries to adapt to it and absolutely gets rocked in non-con/tourney games where refs do not abide that style of play.

thank you for coming to my TED Talk

 

[ugottabjoshinme]

State is gonna win a couple games in the tourney if they play defense like this.

 

[kyillinifan]

Go Mich State. Wanna see Pu lose.

 

[BillyBob1]

Surprised they didn’t T up Hoggard for clapping.

 

[bleedorange and blue]

So we get this group of refs tonight?

 

[cs04]

LOL Jones was in the restricted arc and they called a charge. he's magic!

 

[aaeismacgychel]

He's in the restricted area, lol. What are these refs doing?

 

[Mr. Roberts]

So Jones was in the arc and still takes a charge. Wow.

 

[altgeld88]

State is gonna win a couple games in the tourney if they play defense like this.

Wait... I thought defense is overrated

 

[Illini in Italy]

Purdue getting every call . . .
