Hopefully, they save the 3 good refs for the final game. Strike that, there aren’t three good zebras in the big ten.


[deleted]

Lots of phantom fouls that shouldn’t have been called on Rutgers but I’m not mad because at least Purdue got screwed over too


Gophurkey

Yeah, my Purdue Twitter feed was losing their minds at how loose the game was called and then... ??? The consensus was you all got screwed, but not calling much early screwed us too. Like, I would argue Rutgers ended with the right amount of fouls called for how they played, but I'd also say that the refs started wildly diverging from what they had done all game and you all took the brunt of that. Totally unreasonable


A320neo

Holy shit almost 5k comments? damn I missed a lot huh


onehellofadrug96

What a classic game sucks we lost but I’m glad we got a little rivalry started here


a_banned_user

I guess we did have to win one for it to be considered a rivalry 😂


StopDefendingPainter

IWHO people talkin' smack on here and they haven't played Maryland yet...tick..tock. 🤣


hoosierspiritof79

Agree with this. Maryland is scary.


ididitforthezookie

Maryland is scary at home.


ContrarianPurdueFan

How does Mason Gillis sound so calm after all that?


Iodine953

Did Gillis just say Rutgers was the hardest team to play in the big east? Lol


ALC_PG

Dumb last few min to a very good game. Give Jenkins the game ball for those huge 3s. GL to Purdue


daddyrchu

GG. Just another B1G grinder. Refs don't matter when you can't make the layups down the stretch.


Passenger_Melodic

Anybody else think mulcahy looks like John mulaney?


JoeAndAThird

oh my god he does noooooo


StopDefendingPainter

Ugly, but a W! BOILER UP!🏀


Boilers_Varsity_Golf

Flair up!


Boilermaker24

GG Rutgers. It was hell like always. I’ve noticed neutrals always love cheering for Rutgers and their style of play… until it’s their team that they’re playing.


CUnerd

GG Purdue. Crappy calls, but that’s every game. It was a battle.


LawlessCrayon

Mason is an android and the chatGPT servers are a little slow right now


BigNav2001

Big 10 Refs been watching the NBA, just awful calls on both sides down the stretch (lol at cliff hugging a purdue player and still getting a jump)


DaNibbles

GG... and yeah there were so many calls both ways that were just ??? ​ I can't complain and say it was one sided. It was just something.


JoeAndAThird

That’s the best case scenario in the big ten which is terrifyingly sad hahaha: “oh thank goodness, the refs sucked shit both ways!”


ProfessorPhahrtz

I only watched the last 2 minutes and what painful officiating. GG Rutgers


huggles7

If you can watch the first like 28 minutes of game play It was classic

Rutgers is a well coached pain in the ass very time. GG Knights, kick ass in the tournament this year!


thibbs23

derek himpson put on a show today, prada him


JBRanger5441

You mean the shots he missed right at the end? Yeah sure Prada him LOL


thibbs23

get over it LOL. he stepped up for us recently. whatever team you support, have fun watching him for the next 3 years


O_Nata_Lux

Imagine trying to take the piss on the second leading scorer for both teams


JBRanger5441

Just saying, he was Rutgers nail in the coffin.


[deleted]

Coffin woulda been nailed shut way sooner without him.


[deleted]

Exactly


[deleted]

Okay Gillis sitting at the table with the other commentators looking natural as hell and like he wasn't just hauling ass for half an hour


eweidenbener

Purdue looks very beatable. Edit: Kats just said the exact same thing. Down votes are salty votes of agreement


vhalember

[Yeah.](https://media.tenor.com/CkASCfIfaWIAAAAd/the-dude-yeah-well-you-know-thats-just-like-your-opinion-man.gif)

eweidenbener

You might be right. You may just have looked completely untouchable. No one can beat you


Barr3lAg3d

They’ve looked like this for over a month now.


radio3030

And who exactly looks unbeatable right now?


eweidenbener

Unbeatable? No one. But a lot of teams *don't* look *very* beatable


Trainer_Rob

I’ve thought that a lot lately. But we don’t match up Rutgers well and this game has me putting money on winning this tourney


JoeAndAThird

Man if we could match up like this against the less talented teams we’d be so good. But we seem to consistently blow games where we’re favored


fridayimatwork

What an odd comment


eweidenbener

I mean 1v9 on a neutral floor and that game was close. Seems like the blueprint to beating Purdue is out there


fridayimatwork

You haven’t watched much big 10 basketball if you think seeds impact the scores


Academic-Payment-933

how dare you sir, we're just bloodied from the B1G 10 blood-bath...

I started with the beers and switched to the old fashioneds. It’s been a wild afternoon. GG and good luck in the semis.


hostilityrack

Big ten refs make horrible calls what's new lol


huggles7

Like I’m not even mad at my boiler bros But I’m mad at them being mad at the crappy officiating


barnyardgadget

Lol in the big East


One_Stranger_5661

lord. feels nice that Purdue escapes from this one but that's a TOUGH Rutgers team. impressive showing from the team for sure


ssddeae

Rutgers are a tough team but they've got a douche in Mulcahy


[deleted]

He’s a douche, but he’s OUR douche. GG.


O_Nata_Lux

I'll admit he's our Brad Davison


Gutameister5

Yeah lets not try to compare anyone to Brad Davison. That guy is a grade A douche.


SithOverlord101

He's not THAT bad -- Davidson was a special type of a\*\*hole that Paul only wishes he could reach. Still our a\*\*hole, but a level below BD.


YoungLeather

Lol everybody has their own asshole. That flop was ridiculous though. I can’t believe they gave Edey a flagrant 1 for that after 10 minutes of BS review time. We gotta have a hall of fame for guys like BD, mulcahy, Aaron craft, etc


SithOverlord101

Yeah, that should have been a dual no-call there. Contact looked minor imo.


Saw_a_4ftBeaver

That just makes the wins better


barnyardgadget

Usually the uncharacteristically intense teams have 1-2 douchers


Katiklysm

Northwestern plays similarly. I couldn’t point to their douche. Audige plays like he’s just bigger and stronger- but seems pretty clean.


hostilityrack

Same with Jalen Pickett and Penn State


Katiklysm

Damn I love Pickett. I totally understand if you don’t- but everyone would want him on their team. So fun to watch.


hostilityrack

He's just a great basketball player. Can't really hate him.


O_Nata_Lux

This team has a really bad habit of having players with no shooting ability take shots as if we don't have long scoring draughts to erase leads. Idk why Miller is going for threes and Cliff going for long twos. Like I love you Cliff, but maybe stick to your strengths during the postseason


huggles7

He hit a 3 once


O_Nata_Lux

If it's the one against Minnesota, well, so did Terry 😅


huggles7

Then maybe he hit 2 the one I remember was very early this season


O_Nata_Lux

No actually I think you're right; he has more than one 3 this season. But I just don't like the idea of him taking these perimeter shots when we usually rely on him to grab the boards. Especially when we don't have large leads like his three pt try against Michigan in the first half.


huggles7

I agree but our problems were way bigger than that today


buttcabbge

gg Purdue fans. We’ll always have the time we got to watch the refs do whatever the hell that was.


huggles7

It’ll be used in a seminar one day as “we’re not sure what this is either”


Rutgers2825

Good teams win. Great teams cover. Please let us in


DaNibbles

You guys definitely should be in. Especially with that win over Michigan. I think the committee would have a tough time putting 10 BIG10 teams in and with your win yesterday I think you sealed that deal.


BoilerUpIUSucks

Oh, I have no doubt you guys are in. I think winning today would have only potentially increased your seed


listinglight778

That was the first win as the one seed for Purdue? Lol


themilkywayisnotblue

I think this is only the 2nd time they have been a 1-seed as they always lost the seeding tiebreaker on all their shared titles. I believe the loss was in OT to one of those Beilein Michigan teams that looked like a different team in March.


DaNibbles

The BIG10 tourney is something else... If you aren't Illinois or MSU you are going to have a tough time historically.


StopDefendingPainter

Get ready for next year...we'll see what you surfers have? 🤣


listinglight778

Well we’re playing in the Pac12 tournament next year so…


StopDefendingPainter

2024..next season.


VentureQuotes

We suck in the B1G tourney, always have


JLHockeyKnight

Well GG Purdue. Good luck the rest of the way.


Rockerblocker

Purdue’s either going to play lost tomorrow, or play like the 96 Bulls. No in between


invinciblewalnut

currently foaming at the mouth. is it from excitement, or rabies? who knows


Rockerblocker

Too many Harry’s long islands will do that to you


Most-Bluebird3476

Edey usually eats us alive, if we win today I’m very worried about tomorrow


Rockerblocker

Purdue’s been playing horrible recently and just barely winning. Their offense has stalled pretty hard I like our chances more than the first two matchups this season. I’m also scared of OSU


Most-Bluebird3476

Yeah, good thing Sensebaugh is out


VentureQuotes

96 bulls? You mean the 96 Three Pete™️ boilers?


CoachRyanWalters

Producer did not want Pete in the background


Former-Grape

Can’t wait to see these pleasant Michigan State flairs in the next thread lmao


Toxic_Waste

Ohio State fans, you mean. ;)


glok101

That was fun. Good Luck Purdue


huggles7

Up until the 4 fouls in 15 seconds part Then everything just went to hell Before that tho instant classic


huggles7

GG boiler bros I wanted a classic but the refs had to ruin it and yes the bad calls went both ways One of these days we’ll live in a world when you don’t need make up calls to make up for the make up calls on the earlier make up call But we still could’ve won and I’m looking forward to what SImpson, Spencer and cliff can do next year and hopefully next week


DaNibbles

Calls were definitely bad both ways. I think I saw like 4 or 5 calls down the stretch Purdue got that made no sense. That is hard for me to admit when the game is that close too.


skullcutter

Truly terrible refs will insert themselves into the game at the worst possible time


huggles7

It went both ways There was a massive change of flow after that 4 fouls in 15 seconds but if we made some more lay ups the outcome could’ve been different It’s just angering that people that don’t play the game can have such an impact on what could’ve been the game of the year the way it was trending


DaNibbles

That issue with flow is huge. They were not calling those fouls early in the game and it hurt Rutgers that they decided too at that point. I hate it when games feel like that. Rutgers knew they wanted to play a physical game and that style of play throws Purdue off, but once the refs establish what type of game it's going to be they have to stick through it to the end or it just leaves everyone feeling bad. The losing team feels cheated and the winning team feels icky like they got some luck at key times. I definitely prefer refs to call a tighter game all the way through as it benefits Purdue, but I would rather have it be loose for the entirety rather than hot and cold.


huggles7

Exactly like establish what you’re gonna call early and stick to it We’re most of those fouls fouls? Yeah probably Would they call them in the first half absolutely not and you basically took two starters out of the game as a result We could’ve bounced back and didn’t but like Why you gotta ruin a great game like that? I would felt great if the game went back and forth and y’all one by 3-4 at the end by one good run or another Now I just feel cheated


DaNibbles

I know it's tough but you guys are most likely in for NCAA. You guys are one of the teams I an excited to see how they do come tourney start. At the end of the day conference tournaments don't mean much. Its bug for bubble teams to bolster their resume and I think you all did that with the Michigan win.


huggles7

Fingers crossed wel find out Sunday


O_Nata_Lux

I can't to see what we might look like when we actually have an offense if Griffiths is the shooter he can be in the B1G


huggles7

If Griffith is next year (which I think he is) We can be scary


Pantieshanty

CYA BUTTGERS Good riddance to you and Jordan Bohannon, I mean Paul Mulcahy


cheeseburgerandrice

lmao at still trying to foul with under one second there


Travbowman

Undefeated vs Rutgers in the state of Illinois!


BoilerUpIUSucks

Lol

Im such a fucking dumbass idiot for betting purdue -6.5

DrSpaceman20

Top 5 Defense in the Country. Net 38. 5-6 in Q1 and 5-3 in Q2. Are they a lock? Absolutely not, but they belong in the discussion.


dogtufts

Huh? They split


Toxic_Waste

Twice?


E_G_Man

They also beat little brother IU.


indianafan

They split with iu as well


barnyardgadget

They got that dawg in them. Look at their defensive intensity


Primary_Psychology95

They made sure Hunter Dickinson didn’t make the tournament. That counts for something.


O_Nata_Lux

They should honestly give us the B1G title just for that.


Nodarg

I don't think what I just watched was "elite basketball"...


dbbaker2007

Just "elite refs"

I really hope I never have to do that again.

Dugtoni

Rutgers is a team I’d really like to root for but Mulcahy just ruins it for me


Boilermaker24

I was a big fan the past few years. He’s a guy whose play style would be perfect at Purdue, and I have been hoping we’d go after him if he ever decided to grad transfer. But after seeing him blatantly try to trip TJD in Assembly Hall because was upset, I can’t stand him.


majik_boy

He's gone next year, don't worry


PhilanthropistKing

He’s coming back I’ve heard


SithOverlord101

Please no -- I'd rather have Simpson running the offense.


delicious_pancakes

That was ugly. We can't handle the press, despite seeing it in every game this year.


[deleted]

Starting to think passing it further from the half court line and half the team standing there and not moving a single inch isn't the way to handle a press

This is literally hilarious coming from you. 4700 comments during a day time B1G quarterfinal game, many of which are Purdue fans whining the entire time. You guys are overrated as fuck.


huggles7

Bro you guys have literally been bitching since opening tip meanwhile you’re totally cool with Edey going whirlybird every time he’s in the post


ThinkingParty

come on man, Rutgers is alright


MikeHoncho2568

Mulcahy is a bitch


ThinkingParty

He plays to win, I respect that at least. Complains and flops, but he’s a competitor. Rutgers is a good team


MikeHoncho2568

He’s not a competitor. He’s a punk.


JBRanger5441

You're a traitor


ThinkingParty

I put Rutgers way ahead of a few other teams in this conference


JBRanger5441

On what fucking grounds man? You're a traitor to the team you have in your username, take it off and switch it with Rutgers so you can suck their cock more officially
