And the blogger with bad eyes that posted inaccurately (aka me)
February 25th, 2024 at 3:58 PM ^
The ball has integrity.
February 25th, 2024 at 4:00 PM ^
With Reed out, Edey is going to look like Big Bird posting up Papa Smurf.
February 25th, 2024 at 4:03 PM ^
Was the 1st Beilein squad the last time we lost 20 games in a season?
February 25th, 2024 at 4:06 PM ^
Affirmative. The 2007/08 season lost 22 games. Worst of all time in Michigan history. This team will likely eclipse that mark.
February 25th, 2024 at 4:07 PM ^
Thanks Pete, I agree with the probability thing too.
Also, you've been cracking me up today!
February 25th, 2024 at 4:03 PM ^
Burnett has some seriously impressive moments as a player.
February 25th, 2024 at 4:13 PM ^
He'd be the perfect sixth man on a better team.
February 25th, 2024 at 4:20 PM ^
i.e. a team with Caleb Love and Terrance Shannon?
February 25th, 2024 at 5:09 PM ^
On a team that could box out, play defense, make even the most basic appropriate decisions with the ball, and display an iota of situational awareness.
February 25th, 2024 at 4:04 PM ^
Not that Purdue needed this level of Ref Fuckery, but they sure have benefited from this home court advantage they have.
February 25th, 2024 at 4:05 PM ^
Okay, there is absolutely no conceivable situation where I would yell out “I HAVE ED!!”
February 25th, 2024 at 4:06 PM ^
Jackson just plain sucks
February 25th, 2024 at 4:07 PM ^
“Upper tier teams…”
Christ, this team is 3-13 in B1G. They aren’t beating anybody, let alone upper tier teams.
February 25th, 2024 at 4:08 PM ^
How do they review the clock and still get it wrong by more than half a second?
February 25th, 2024 at 4:13 PM ^
Same way they reviewed the hook and hold and still called the foul on cheddar
February 25th, 2024 at 6:23 PM ^
LOL, they thought the hook and hold was ON Cheddar!
February 25th, 2024 at 4:09 PM ^
Poor guy in here who has PU -13 is gonna be a double loser.
Lost money and an M loss.
February 25th, 2024 at 4:10 PM ^
😆 we are on the same page on this one
February 25th, 2024 at 4:15 PM ^
Lucky I don't have an account. I thought about it, but didn't bother.
February 25th, 2024 at 5:08 PM ^
You're not the only one. I don't bet against Michigan ever except for today. Crap-ola all around.
February 25th, 2024 at 4:10 PM ^
Betting on Purdue to cover adds insult to injury - my condolences to those taking the double L here.
February 25th, 2024 at 4:11 PM ^
I have zero sympathy for you.
February 25th, 2024 at 4:13 PM ^
I didn’t bet, nor do I don’t request your sympathy
February 25th, 2024 at 4:28 PM ^
I have no sympathy for the people you describe.
i love you, though. 🥰
February 25th, 2024 at 4:10 PM ^
Of course, just win I bet, this team covers. I hate this team in so many different ways.
February 25th, 2024 at 4:12 PM ^
The road games are the auto bet because Vegas and random gamblers fail to take into account the fact that our best player doesn’t play in those games.
February 25th, 2024 at 4:15 PM ^
But we were playing on the road...
February 25th, 2024 at 4:15 PM ^
Touché
February 25th, 2024 at 4:10 PM ^
Game is at Purdue East, evidently
February 25th, 2024 at 7:15 PM ^
MUPUAA
February 25th, 2024 at 4:12 PM ^
These Purdue fans are hilarious. They drove from Indiana in droves to chant “our house” against the last place 3-14 wolverines
February 25th, 2024 at 4:14 PM ^
It’s a fan base starving for signicance - for my entire life.
February 25th, 2024 at 5:25 PM ^
I don't envy their situation, they are stuck in basketball purgatory where they are a consistent top 5 team year in and year out but are one of the absolute worst tournament teams in a sport that is DEFINED by how you perform in the tournament.
Painter is a good coach and developer but his system is so inflexible. When they get punched in the mouth or thrown off their rhythm, they're cooked. 90% of tournament success is dependent on your ability to adapt to a new situation. Take Beilein for example. In the 2013 tournament alone they faced: an offensive juggernaut team that tries to outscore you (South Dakota State), a VCU squad known for their press, a Kansas team with an elite front court and paired with excellent wings, uhhh Florida?, zoned defense Syracuse, and cheating ass Louisville. All 6 of those games were complete departures in style and system and Beilein navigated all of them BEAUTIFULLY. Got game-winning contributions from Burke, McGary, Stauskas, GRIII, THJ, and (almost) Albrecht.
Purdue doesn't know how to do that. They will throw Edey at you until it doesn't work, and if it doesn't work, they lose. Painter doesn't know how to adjust and that's been his downfall every tournament
February 25th, 2024 at 4:13 PM ^
Well, at least they didn't embarrass themselves. That's progress.
February 25th, 2024 at 4:17 PM ^
I actually think they played a hell of a game all things considered. Down Oliver and not allowed to play defense on edey and somehow made it an entertaining game.
They played good basketball. They played hard. They played with heart
February 25th, 2024 at 4:44 PM ^
If only that counted in the win column. It doesn’t so the L matters.
February 25th, 2024 at 4:59 PM ^
Does that mean we out hit them? Asking for Mrs. Frost.
February 25th, 2024 at 5:20 PM ^
Counterpoint: Purdue didn't give a shit and only played with 80% effort because they knew if they needed to they could turn it on like they did at the end of the first half. Thus, while we didn't give up and gave good effort, it just looked a lot better than it really was vs a great team that played it easy once they got a lead of a few possessions.
February 25th, 2024 at 4:13 PM ^
Purdue is up 2 1/2 games in the conference. Michigan is in the basement by 2 1/2 games.
February 25th, 2024 at 4:15 PM ^
Symmetry ✅
Misery ✅
February 25th, 2024 at 4:17 PM ^
And they both have really tall coaches.
February 25th, 2024 at 4:18 PM ^
The only thing uglier than our record is a game between osu and msu
February 25th, 2024 at 4:21 PM ^
It's the only time I'll pull for OSU. Izzo just has a face you'd like to punch. Hate that prick
February 25th, 2024 at 4:26 PM ^
Feels like a moral victory.
February 25th, 2024 at 4:47 PM ^
I betcha Graham Couch could put an amazing headline to describe this game.
February 25th, 2024 at 4:30 PM ^
Warde saying “the Purdue game showed this team’s potential” as Juwan is given another year would just be the shit cherry on top of the diarrhea cake
February 25th, 2024 at 4:35 PM ^
That is beautiful.
February 25th, 2024 at 4:31 PM ^
Apparently there are the “Edey Rules”.
All things considered, one of the best games the team has looked all conference season.
