here was Purdue's coach Matt Painter after yesterday's game:

“One of their bigs was just grabbing our players out in the open on a ball screen defense and I just pointed it out,” Painter said. “I said ‘He has both his hands around him.’ (the official) stares right at it and ignores him so, I can’t repeat what I said to him.”

If you're gonna dribble it that much at least get to the basket. With these refs they're gonna call the foul more often than not.

Burke's legs are dead.  His jumpers are all short and he looks gassed whenever they show a closeup, which is what happens when you play 45 minutes less than 24 hours before another game.  We don't have much of a chance unless he finds his second wind at halftime.

I feel like this team frequently gets off to slow starts. Hoping they pick it up in the second half, but you can't beat good teams like this.

Belien sucks we will never win anything big with this let's shoot 3a all day. Settling for co big ten champs is not the answer. Go BIG or go home. Which I fear is tonites agenda. Hell this isn't even a game

You know what?  We're down 13 and that sucks.  But, as bad as we've played we should be down by 20+  Let's see if we can salvage this in the 2nd half; it's not like we can play much worse.

I just figured out beliens plan. Let's not play hard in the big ten tourney and get a awesome seed in the NCAA tourney .lets play like shit and go home early and prepare for the NCAA tourney.

We will come out of halftime ready to go and with a fire lit under our ass from Beilein getting our boys back on track from a wake up call pep talk and we will come out slinging and come back to overcome and win this game in the 2nd half. Ohio St is not as good as we're making them to be! We stop the sloppiness and bad shots and we will this game. It's our game damn it! Time to break some hearts! GO BLUE! FUCK OHIO

People blaming Beilein are clueless. Morgan a missed dunk, missed free throws, 4 straight possessions with dribbling or passing turnovers.

Those are not coaching mistakes. Guys are tired and there's no depth on this team yet.

I think we make this close if not come back and win it.
