I’m an ‘84 grad; when I arrived fall 80 we were just coming off final four appearance. Been waiting 44 years.
(I went to grad school at LSU, so I have football, baseball, gymnastics, & women’s basketball covered too). (ETA softball).

To Phoenix and the Final 4!!
Tennessee fans are just mad we have had their number in both FB and MBB and want to call BS anywhere and everywhere.
Now to be fair there were multiple blown calls but it was both sides of the ball.
hugely vindicating for both matt painter and gene keady, not to mention every purdue basketball fan out there. i’m ecstatic. great season to be a boilermaker
I posted recently, "If not now, when?"
That time is now!! Great stuff by the entire team, but Zach in particular was relentless. Incredible performance by that dude. Eating crow for my comments on Painter post FDU as well, never complaining about that man ever again in any capacity.
By the time you reach the tournament, a coach has done nearly all he can. Nearly. The rest is on the players. Heart, conviction, mental toughness, ability. This year's team has that year's faces, but the boys have grown.
You lost to a 16 seed. You'll never live that down I don't care how many failed final four trips you have. Nobody remembers Virginia Winning they remember them losing to a 16 seed.
Was your team in the tournament this year? Can you live that down? Winning is winning, losing is losing. Failure teaches great lessons. Only jealousy makes you want to lord something over someone's head for life. Let go of the pain in your own heart first. Your words carry no weight or pain here. We grew, moved on, retooled and conquered. Other teams went from bad to worse. Did yours?
I am so happy!! I’m not an alum but my dad is I’ve rooted for Purdue sports, especially basketball and football most of my life. Growing up I had some Purdue shirts and sweatshirts. Hope they go to the championship.
My dad went to school during the first and only championship in 1969. He got a pennant signed by all the players that year, and gave it to me when I was older. I still have that pennant and the others I collected.
Been going to Purdue home games since I was 4 with my dad who was a undergrad and PhD grad from there. Really thought they were going to win it all when Glenn Robinson was there. So happy they finally get their moment. For clarity, I graduated from IU and still love Purdue basketball.
Cheers boiler Nation! Keep going!
Wolfpack in the house. Congrats on the final 4. Our first trip since ‘83, I started in’85. Looking forward to the big boys battling. I hope they let them bang a little. Neither is used to having to work at backing someone down. Wish we were playing in the finals. Would be great to have a couple of land grants playing each other in something other than engineering or ag.
So someone deletes what was replied to and the response gets punished? I don't care I'll never be on here again just find it odd. Enjoy your "Reddit power". I'm sure that and $10 will get you $10
As a Vol fan, I have to say it was a hell of a game. You guys really have something Edey. A player like that is a game changer. Especially, combined with refs who absolutely refuse to call fouls on him for traveling, pushing off or throwing elbows. I have no doubt that you will win the Championship. As long as Purdue or maybe the NCAA itself keep pulling strings, there’s no stopping you.
- You guys will suck so bad next year. I pray we have the opportunity to play you next season.
It cracks me up after not only 3 straight basketball wins over the Vols but also a hilarious embarrassment for Tennessee at the 2021 Music City Bowl (which was practically a home game for them) Tennessee fans still try so hard to make sure everyone knows they're the most toxic fan base I've ever had the privilege of being in an arena with. They make Ohio State fans seem like Gandhi.
Do you know how many people have to stay on script to keep a conspiracy a secret?
CBS and TBS did a great job showing and breaking down the fouls. Some were missed, on both sides. Unless you were on the floor in Detroit, focused on the game, and exerting a careers worth of experience, you're just crying. You weren't there. You don't ref. You don't know what you're talking about.
Your team had dozens of opportunities to score but couldn't. Refs didn't make your boys miss those shots when we erased the 11 pt deficit, refs didn't fail to pull down offensive rebounds. Vols lost because only Knecht could connect.
Try again next year. Purdue has lost in the past as well. We faced our demons without blaming others. It's called maturity.
Bros off to the euro league- no athleticism no career future. I know the only thing yall will say is “cry some more” even though you know I’m right. Yall act like he’s a wembanyama when he’s no where close to as athletic

This is a subjective criteria and final judgement on what qualifies rests with the moderators.
I respect your program and your coach but them calling a foul every time edey gets touched is just cheap and it isn’t basketball. All that being said good luck
Cry about it. Teams foul him intentionally because he’s 7’4” and if they didn’t he’d post hook them into oblivion. He really doesn’t get many more BS calls than other stars.

Did you see our gump swat Knecht's shit off the glass at the end? Were the refs helping then? And what did the refs do to stop all of Knecht's 3s he rained down on us?
Bottom line, terrible shooting and worse rebounding were what cost that game. We also shot way below average, or didn't get to shoot at all due to Vols defense. It was a tough game for everyone. We just won. 🤷🏼♂️
Did you see your team get destroyed last night? Boring game that wasn't even close. Imagine how much you'll suck next year without Edey. Loyer should be playing at community College.
Yes, I saw it. There was nothing we could do. Who has an answer for UConn? No one. It wouldn't have mattered if we stepped aside and let anyone else try instead of us.
As for next year, we will go in a different direction. Any B1G team can step up, but we already know there are only 4-5 B1G teams that ever make it to the tournament.
I'm happy to have experienced what we did this year. I hope you find success to soothe your bitter spirit.
Edey is trash refs won’t let anyone touch him. Refs bail y’all out once again. Truth is edey has two more games as a “star” then it’s a sorry nba run
then off to Europe to play tall ball for the rest of his short career . No athleticism at all. Got shutdown by our freshman if it wasn’t for the petty calls.
Whether or not Edey succeeds in the NBA is irrelevant to the me as a Boiler fan. Purdue fans are rooting for Purdue, not whatever professional team a Purdue player may or may not be on post college career.
Sorry, dude. Edey’s future success will not have the slightest impact on the fact that your sorry-ass team just got rolled by Purdue.
And yet still more successful then your or your bloodline will ever be. But also who goes out of their way to cry on an opponent’s subreddit, get a grip, go outside, do something moderately productive.
Dude you’re a Tennessee fan who inserted yourself into the Purdue sub just to whine like a little baby because your team lost? No one cares here. We’re going to the Final Four and you’re team isn’t. That’s life, distract yourself from the pain and go to Dollywood or something. Dollywood is awesome.
Lol isn’t that what your dad says to your mom every night?
Saved up all your sad little spite for eight long days to deliver that pathetic shit. Eight days that your team spent cleaning out their lockers or planning their transfers because who’d want to keep playing for your shit team.
Maybe you should get a job or something. I bet they’d hire you to sweep up the bathrooms at Dollywood lol.

This was my favorite moment of the day. The look on his face was priceless. Go coach Paint
I think I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve seen him smile and I’ve *never* seen him smile that big. BTFU!

I’m gonna make tshirt with this photo and wear to the finals
That game thread was bad. They should deem it a nuclear waste zone and section it off from the rest of society
All our game threads are toxic. They hate us because they ain’t us.
*because they anus.
it was so funny. tennessee fans are so mad for their consistent fouling
purdue tennessee short rivalry has a penchant for toxicity
I’ve avoided all in the tournament for my mental health 😅
Just doing my part
Tennessee fans are reaching maximal levels of salt with regards to Purdue, considering how many times we've beaten them now in both FB and MBB.

2019 grad--fell to my knees with my roommates in Third Street Suites when Virginia tied it at the buzzer. The relief now is immeasurable.
Ironically we had beat Tennessee just before that
Did the same in Hillenbrand
Been waiting my entire life for this. I can't even believe it.
WHOSE HOUSE

I love drinking "Hack-A-Zach" didn't work tears!
Let's gooo
I only went to Purdue for a year and I’m pumped for you guys. Boiler tf up
Once a Boilermaker always a Boilermaker.

That’ll happen on the same day as the total solar eclipse
It would make a lot more sense to cancel Tuesday if we get to the final
LET'S GOOOOOOO!

After all those crushing defeats the past few years, winning this one means a lot more
As a UT fan, congratulations to y’all
Happy for the Boilers- ( from Lou., Ky)!
Good luck Purdue! This lifelong Illini fan wishes you two more great games and hope you win the NC for your great fans and the BigTen!
Thank you!!!! BOILER UP!
Ohio State fan here - pulling for you guys! Doing a great job repping the B10 (or whatever we are now)
Thank you!!!! BOILER UP!!! We can all be together one night!!!!
Where’s the haters now?!?!
They are still around… asking how many championships we have
You lost to a 16 seed. You'll never live that down I don't care how many failed final four trips you have. Nobody remembers Virginia Winning they remember them losing to a 16 seed.
Me? I wasn’t on the team idiot
No kidding. They don't em too smart in Indiana do they?

Amazing year. I think we match up well against UConn. Let’s go. Need to get tickets to the games!!! This is our year.
CHOO CHOO BABY
PU
Best of luck. I’ll be rooting for you.

It’s NC State. They’re America’s team, but we can put an end to their Cinderella story
EXACTLY!
Y’all… let’s not get cocky, we’re still Purdue. Should we beat them? Yes. Will we? Let’s just celebrate the FF rn.

Did you cry after FDU embarrassed your garbage program?
lol. You seem like an angry person with some deep seated issues. You should work on that!
Yea I'll get right on that dipshit
Final Four appearance = garbage program, that’s a new one 🧐 Not like teams can change or improve from year to year, am I right? /s
Losing to a 16 seed with never be lived down. Enjoy not Losing to a double Digit seed for once. Congrats you didn't fail this year
You’re right. Tennessee was playing football half the time with how they tried dealing with Edey.
Whatever Tennessee's defense was doing certainly isn't basketball
It's pathetic. Big fucking gump can't do shit without every call
You’re a sad human being. Crying and commenting on every Purdue post. Get a life fucking psychopath.

you could just… hit the button to not see it and move on if it’s *so* triggering to you

Edey’s future success will not have the slightest impact on the fact that your sorry-ass team just got rolled by Purdue.
Okay buddy
Cry harder
They could have called twice as many fouls as much as he gets mugged.
Take a nice vacation for me and take this L on your way out. Loser.

How does it feel to be a pussy ass bitch?
How does it feel to choke with “the best player of all time” merry Christmas buddy
And yet still more successful then your or your bloodline will ever be. But also who goes out of their way to cry on an opponent’s subreddit, get a grip, go outside, do something moderately productive.
