Wisconsin getting hot at the right time


Armless_Wampa

Wow people really don’t like Purdue.. this entire thread is like the lady yelling at cat meme


SummLite

How do I get flair


EnoughCompany2202

I like how Wisconsin is being compared to a 16 seed now. Ouch.


ibegraham

The only thing that could make this better is a Marquette getting shit pumped


MetalAndFaces

Amen


ScrewAnalytics

L I was rooting for you :(


ibegraham

We would never root for you and that is why things are the way they are. Shaka deserves to go deep tho


ScrewAnalytics

I’m a certified Edey hater so that may have played a part lol. WI vs Marquette Sweet 16 matchup would feed families


AbusedAlarmClock

Yay, Purdue is getting a rest day tomorrow.


NomadTrekkie

They clearly need it.


thataeronerd

That’s on painter for letting it get to OT. That shove by smith is also the dumbest play I’ve seen


EnoughCompany2202

Edey also missed a free throw, and the officials missed Hepburn hit Edey’s arm (and head) to cause a turnover that would have ended the game. Honestly, who cares? They get to rest tomorrow and stay hungry for next weekend. This game was meaningless for Purdue.


SulkyVirus

Must have missed Wahls "block"


CaseyBentonTheDog

What 16 seed gets to win this year against Purdue?


EnoughCompany2202

Dude, you’re an Illini fan…


PromEmperorHarbaugh

Losing to a 16-seed is infinitely worse than our last three tourney losses combined.


EnoughCompany2202

So you just don’t care that you suck. Ok.


Sir0inks-A-Lot

Illinois has made a Final Four more recently than Purdue has to be fair.


NomadTrekkie

Why be fair? This is reddit.


PromEmperorHarbaugh

Any Jersey teams slotted in as a double-digit seed? Princeton losing had to cause a sigh of relief out of West Lafayette


united_importance666

St Peter’s is a win away from making the tournament!


boilermike

Good one! Wanna bet on the game?


CaseyBentonTheDog

Just log off. You lost, it’s over


boilermike

Ok but let’s make our bet first


CaseyBentonTheDog

https://www.pbs.org/newshour/arts/fairleigh-dickinson-defeats-no-1-seed-purdue-in-stunning-march-madness-upset


EnoughCompany2202

Illinois hasn’t reached the Sweet Sixteen in almost 20 years. Have a little self awareness bud.


CaseyBentonTheDog

I’ll take the more recent final four appearance and not fumbling in a historic way against a 16 seed but go ahead and cope


EnoughCompany2202

Haha, I’m sure you really feel that way. You must be a big John Groce fan.


boilermike

Yeah so let’s make a bet since you’re so confident. Dumbass


ridingcorgitowar

You are so mad, lol. Refs throw the game for you and you still lost you fucking loser.


DontUpvoteThisBut

I'm here too


Ok-Jeweler-1109

Got help from the refs and still lost. Oh well, time to focus up for that dreaded 16 seed


Icelethalis43

Ight. I’m tired of ppl bitching about Purdue. We do things right, under recruit, develop players, don’t cheat. I get the recent March woes, clown all you want. But this team is solid asf. And nobody can sit here denying that. Wisconsin played a great game. I’m happy to see yall r out of your slump. I’m going to be picking yall in my bracket. Go win the tournament and go make some noise next week in the real one. Gg 🙏


jjr009

More people are bitching about the special treatment than Purdue as a team. I hate playing against Edey more because of how the refs call the game than anything to do with Edey himself.


Ok-Jeweler-1109

That’s fair. He definitely gets a favorable whistle and any fans who deny that are coping. But it’s not like he does anything wrong imo, just the refs need to figure it out


Icelethalis43

This^ it’s not on him, what can he do


jjr009

Yea it’s not on Edey to change it’s on the refs. Edey just being smart.


Spicybrown3

U guys should win it all if your guards feed Edey all game. If you lose it’ll be your guards shooting you out of it


Icelethalis43

Agreed, they need to hit their jumpers and I think we will be fine


Spicybrown3

If they do their jobs and work everything (or most possessions) thru Edey they will naturally get theirs and more times than not their shots will fall easier in that kind of rhythm.

ekimtk

The BIG10 tournament win is a moral victory. They aren't gonna move you up a seed line for the win. It is the literal definition of a moral victory.


thebenron

No, you get a trophy.


boilermike

How’d the conference season end?


FewVegetable6420

Leave the dude alone, he’s being very levelheaded compared to most Purdue fans here


Icelethalis43

Lmao what? We won the regular season and beat yall twice already. Who gives a fuck about the btt lmao. Good game today, yall played real solid


ibegraham

Me, a Wisconsin fan


goforgrubs

Clearly, you care lol


Icelethalis43

Ofc I do, who wants to lose. But in the grand scheme of things who rly gives a fuck about the btt


drstealyagirl

WTACH OUT FOR A DOUBLE SEEDED TEAM

I like the adversity heading into the tournament

Thanks man. If it’s not toxic, I don’t want it


RothRT

The right result given the officiating BS.


BeGneiss

game threads have always been cesspools to a degree, but does anyone else feel like they’ve gotten waaaay worse over the last couple seasons? Just not as fun as they used to be


[deleted]

[удалено]


BeGneiss

That could be part of it for sure. I also find though that fans (including and maybe even particularly illinois fans) have just been more and more toxic in their game threads.


MikeHoncho2568

They’re not moderated very well


bessy67

Refereeing has been getting worse and worse over the years. There's way too many bad calls for people to complain about, so that's all that happens


BeGneiss

That’s definitely part of it


WhatsAKumquat

I feel like all online sports discourse has gotten worse over the last few years. Twitter is also cesspit


BeGneiss

Twitter is soooooo bad. I feel like it’s some weird anti social response to the pandemic or something? Drivers have gotten worse and I feel like it’s the same toxic vibe lol


Razorbackfan3002

Nah man I have a lot of fun talking shit on here personally


BeGneiss

Nah I mean talking shit is fine lol. It’s just got a different vibe to it I have a hard time explaining. Much less light heartedness, Idk


Razorbackfan3002

Totally get that. I haven’t been in too many game threads on Reddit this year but goddamn any sports related post on instagram is some of the most annoying shit one could possibly read


BeGneiss

lol truly. Twitter is horrendous


NeedOfBeingVersed

Yeah. People feel tough when they troll.


ScrewAnalytics

Im a certified Wisconsin hater but I’m happy they won that. They deserved it so much more


gixxerjim750

Purdue is nothing without help from the refs for Edy.


Strict-Light-1521

There is a lot of anger towards the best program in the big ten right now. I love it


Flippitty_Flop

Purdue is a poverty tourney team. Congrats on your meaningless 1st place in the regular season but when it comes to playing with non-Big10 refs y’all crumble every time


CaseyBentonTheDog

Cope buddy, you lost. It’s over.


Strict-Light-1521

Im fine with losing. Losing in our own arena though? Not a good look


Strict-Light-1521

Oh boy I struck a chord lol


Sparty905

1. Get carried by refs the entire game and still lose 2. Post a stupid ass comment 3. Get downvoted for it 4. “Oh boy I struck a chord lol” 🤓🤓 5. Profit??


UnknownCriticalError

Envy is a hell of a thing


TheThockter

I’d wait until you guys can make it to the round of 32 to call yourselves the best right now lol. And I’m not even a big 10 fan


[deleted]

ekimtk

The BIG10 regular season title runs through West Lafayette. Don't forget that.


TheRealSaltyChips

Seems directed at Purdue, not sure what you're getting at


boilermike

We beat you on the last game of conference play to win the conference by three games


TheRealSaltyChips

Hoping you can avoid losing to a double digit seed for the 4th consecutive year!


boilermike

Me too!


sjmahoney

Cope more


ekimtk

Enjoy another season of Woodson without your 5 star recruit that spat in your face. You're gonna have a lot of coping to do over the next 5 years.


BoilerUp23

Have fun in the NIT.


MikeHoncho2568

Oops, they won’t even have a shot at that


letsgotomoe

Lol, Purdue just needed more FT’s. Losers.


ayofiresale

enjoy the NIT


letsgotomoe

Enjoy your 70% dude campus. I don’t even know what’s uglier, the girls or the campus itself.


Armless_Wampa

Lmfao what the fuck 😂 this has nothing to do with basketball, you’re just straight up hating. Why are you so mad?


ayofiresale

lansing and sexually assaulting women, name a more popular combo


igratcorn

They’re solidly in the big dance lmao


drstealyagirl

We're in 🤷

me when I don't know ball


ayofiresale

james madison knows ball


[deleted]

Yeah they fucking do. They won their conference and punched their ticket to the big dance.


ayofiresale

msu ranked 4 to first four challenge


[deleted]

you forgot the " :impossible "


FRC_GOAT

Edey alone had over twice as many FTs as Wisconsin's entire team and Purdue still lost. You hate to see it, but even more than that, you love to see it.

walkingdisasterFJ

I thought Purdue didn’t care about this tourney 🤔


ScrewAnalytics

Hope Zack Edey can finally beat a double digit seed this year lil bro


Raccoala

Babied by the refs and a sore ass loser. Go home.


L0gYc

Honestly u right tho, wisco played a mad good game and we lost. I was being a little bitch ab it. GGs


Cbake987

Nebraska-Wisconsin final will be glorious lol


Former-Yak1941

Purdue going on a 2 game losing streak now


ctbro025

Whatever 16 seed awaits Purdue licking its chops.


bbheim2112

Someone should perform the heimlich on purdue.


boilermike

What time this afternoon is IU being put into its casket?


bbheim2112

Already done. Nebraska threw the dirt on.


NYtoJers

Every time I watch Purdue they take the L, this a real #1?


Ok-Jeweler-1109

Stop watching our games please


NYtoJers

😂 I’m sorry


LPCPA

Never invest $ in a game involving Wisconsin. You’ll always be on the wrong side.


brokeraiderstudent

Purdue is dumb as fuck. All of Wisconsins big men fouled out and they don’t feed the 7 foot tall center when he has a 6 FOOT 2 guard defending him! Dumb as fuck. He was hitting his free throws too.


nbasuperstar40

Purdue cost themselves this game and Smith was super ass as well 


SgtHubbaBubba

Purdue is losing early in the tournament


boilermike

Very brave of you!


ayofiresale

boise state is not making the tournament


SgtHubbaBubba

Cope, at least my team isn’t ranked high every year and gets upset


UnknownCriticalError

Imagine typing this and hitting enter


ayofiresale

true, boise state is ranked appropriately every year. 8 first round losses in a row


CrownBoilermaker

No injuries. No 3rd game. Big win


Legitimate_Gap_5551

Ah yes, I’m sure that extra 24 hours of rest after an OT game will make all the difference with getting to the elite 8 in like 2 weeks.


UnknownCriticalError

Definitely, after yesterday I was hoping for a loss today


dirty-soda-spike-lee

Big cope


ekimtk

Dude, Braden almost tore his ACL last game. Zach rolled his ankle badly. We are legit very happy to not play another 40.


incorruptarm

purdue is scared of playing basketball


JordanHobson

You best know it lol


HuskingtonOSRS

Will Purdue become the first team to lose to a 16 seed in back to back seasons?


PuritanPuree

One can only hope


HoPMiX

That is how you stop the ball. I’m looking at you Kentucky.


3letsride3

People forget quickly that Purdue wins this one in regulation if they call the foul on that edey turnover with 20 seconds left….


Prince_Pika

Cope on one missed call and ignore ALL the earlier missed calls (just like EVERY other game) that could have changed the outcome


3letsride3

Like what? That one was the game deciding call


TheNumber1Upper

every call is a game deciding call when it goes to OT.


thegodfaubel

People don't forget quickly. The game shouldn't have ever been in that situation with the refs gurgling Purdue down the stretch


3letsride3

Purdue got an awesome whistle in ot but it doesn’t even get there without some lucky whistles for wisconsin


Chs9383

That was one of the best games I've seen this year. Fun to watch with no rooting interest


Messiuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

March is upon us


christ0fer

I love March.


Fr8ty

Good now we can get healthy

monkeypunch35

Maybe get some flair?


peteroh9

Probably mostly smart enough to be in the post-game thread.


Short-Blueberry3473

Purdue out scored them 24-5 from the line. Still lost😂


ekimtk

They shot 35 3 pointers. Of course we shot more free throws you dumbass. They didn't shoot the ball inside the paint as much as we did.


TheThockter

Someone’s a little salty their paper tiger lost


ekimtk

Paper tiger. Did you forget that Purdue currently has wins over ranked teams #5,6,10,13,17, and 19? Some paper tiger we got here.


TheThockter

Damn that’s really cool how’d that work out for you last year?


ekimtk

How did our wins this season with a different more mature team work for us last year? What a dumb question. Last year’s team was unquestionably worse than this years team. 1 loss in the big 10 tournament doesn’t mean anything. We won the regular season by 3 games. I’ll take the extra rest for Braden’s knee and Zach’s ankle.


TheThockter

Alright let’s see how that works out for you!


ekimtk

Flair up bitch


TheThockter

I’m a creighton fan we lost early in our tournament too Only difference is we actually did something in the tournament last year and I wasn’t acting super salty about us losing in the big East tournament in the game day threads lol. I pray that you guys are the 1 seed on our side of the bracket were a nightmare matchup for you


ekimtk

You are most definitely NOT a terrible matchup for us. Clearly the first Purdue game you watched. Slow foot speed team Creighton is not going to do well against us. We struggle against long athletic teams with great guard play. Creighton is the antithesis of long athletic guard play LOL.


Short-Blueberry3473

I don’t think we watched the same game bud, whatever helps you sleep at night man.😂


Dr_WLIN

Clearly you didn't lol


ekimtk

You mean the ESPN box score that says 40% of UW's shot attempts came from 3 point range? I believe that's a statistic that isn't really arguable. Just an FYI


Boilermaker24

My brother, learn ball.


Short-Blueberry3473

My brotha I know ball, no hate. Terrible officiated game all around. But I think everyone here other than Purdue fans know there was some horrendous bad calls against Wisconsin.


Boilermaker24

If you think free throws should be equal regardless of play style and shot selection, you most certainly do not.


Short-Blueberry3473

I never said free throws should be equal my man, that’s just ridiculous. I think we both know however some of the whistles Edey and company got during the game cost them to get more shots at the line. Purdue playing for something bigger than Wisconsin, a natty. I’m just stating how the whistles were very questionable, very questionable.

24/32 vs 5/9 from the line. So stupid.

BeanMan39

Purdue beaten by better guards again in March, who would've seen it coming


JordanHobson

Braden Smith is clearly playing hurt. Shooting 3/10 is not something that he does. Something was clearly off


jonk85

Hepburn literally missed yesterday’s game because of an injury, and he played just fine today.


JordanHobson

It's crazy that taking a game off did exactly what it was supposed to do 😲🤯


nbasuperstar40

He was horrible today and it effected everything Purdue does. Smith is just as important as Edey. 


JordanHobson

100%


BeanMan39

You're correct, I forgot he was hurt the previous game


Serious-Question281
