Careful what you wish for. As a lifelong IU fan, I can tell you there are worse things than winning 22 games every year, winning the B1G every few years, and making the NCAA tourney every year. Sometimes, the next man up is Archie.Time for Painter to go. Should have been let go years ago when he was banging that cheerleader.
To me this is bigger than just PU. The Big10 allows all that physical play, coaches must recruit and coach to win that way. PU won the regular season and tournament playing Big10 bang ball. PU had no one that could run with the quickness of FD tonight. No one that could nail a critical three when they needed one. Heck, they struggled to just get the ball across mid court. Embarrassing to the whole league to see their champion taken down by a nobody…Careful what you wish for.

As an alum who graduated Purdue 50 years ago this year, I have come to expect Purdue to loose early in the NCAA tourney. I do that so I am not disappointed when they do, and continue to hope to one day before I leave this earth to be pleasantly surprised.
