He may have coached backed to back the 2 worst games in NCAA history. Last year was even more egregious with Ivey, Williams and Edey. Awful game plan. Refusal to go to zone. He needs to seriously consider going to ND. And no,it is not an on any given day. Not twice. And yes,he is a good guy. Just not with an x and an o.
No more Painter apologists

Purdue played scared all game and they got flat out hustled by FDU.
FDU also sure didn’t look like a 16 seed today.

Weird loyer was the only one willing to shoot and he kept taking him out putting a tall slow guy in for d.
Good to see the dumb hot takes apply to other teams as well
RU should have beaten them in the B1G tourney.
Its rather embarrassing for Princeton and FDU winning NCAA Tournament games while Rutgers and Seton Hall are on the sidelines.
ZE had only ONE SHOT in last 12 min against shortest team in the tournament? That’s on Painter.
It wasn’t Xs and Os. They played the tightest game I’ve ever seen. They were scared besides 15.
Yep… painter needed to use his time outs earlier to loosen them up
By the time the game needed , the basketball weighed 20 lbs
Fool me once, shame on you…you know the rest. How can he allow the exact same thing to happen in back to back years?
Purdue shot poorly from three, and as the game wore on became more afraid to try them late
I think they did better against us, of course, as is Rutgers luck
here As the game got late no one shot with authority
This game was eerily similar to the Rutgers/Hofstra game
The perception was that Purdue would probably lose early as they typically do in the tournament. I went against the grain and picked them to get to the final 8. Of course they reverted to form, they are really pathetic in the NCAA tourney. Also makes the B1G look like crap. They were going against the smallest team in the tourney and your 7’4 player of the year doesn’t completely dominate the game? Terrible guard play.
We’re going to both have to add FDU to the no play list along with Princeton
. In 3 consecutive tournaments , Painter and Purdue have lost to North Texas / ST Peters and FDU !
Ouch !
Any brain surgeons want to summize a theory?

Not sure I'd want to ask them, considering they seem to have botched your lobotomy.
Clark Kellogg and Charles Barkley both basically said Purdue doesn’t play against anyone like FDU with their small fast team in the Big 10 and it was basically a bad matchup that they were unable to adjust to.
Painter made no adjustments
Edey coukd not chase to thr three line …so why not zone it ? Even for sone possessions to take them out of rhythm

Generally respect OP’s insights and input, but ripping Painter in an obvious down moment is pretty low rent.
What Rutgers did to Purdue in Chicago in the 2nd half set the blueprint that Penn State would use to almost beat them and FDU used to beat them tonight. Pike's 2nd half plan exposed their weak underbelly and Coach Painter and staff couldn't find a solution among their roster before this game. If FDU did not get it done someone else would have long before the Final Four.
This is such a stupid statement on so many levels.
Knew the Scarecrow would answer. Can’t help itself !

It's a relying on big men when you have no clue how to run an offense through them problem.
Big10 is slow and it shows every year in the tourney
