@itsAntWright I’m a Purdue fan and I agree with you Ant. Sometimes the best part of March is the luck of the draw.
Purdue has played either the national champion or runner up in the last several tournaments. If you want easier odds, do better in the season.
“Fletcher Loyer didn’t look like a 5-star today? Trey Kaufman-Renn’s not a 5-star? Braden Smith’s not a 5-star? It makes no sense.”
Great response & perspective from Matt Painter on his 500th win at #Purdue. Says it’s all about the players.

I just want to say this. Because I think although some logical criticism is fair, I believe Braden Smith has been unfairly criticized and targeted by the fanbase, the Purdue media, and national media. @3bradensmith you are loved my man. We, true fans, know that you are one of the greatest winners, players, teammates, and people who have ever worn the gold and black. We are rooting for you, we believe in you and this team, and the real fans genuinely and deeply appreciate you for everything you’ve done for this school, this team, and us fans. The noise is just that, noise. We are incredibly grateful you stuck with Purdue for 4 years, and in no way do we want your career soured by a few irrational and ignorant fans. You’re a legend, on and off the court. The access you granted us through @PodRunningPoint has been greatly appreciated and unprecedented. The effort and work you’ve put in for this program has been unparalleled. This season, and your career, will be defined by everything you’ve done to enhance the Purdue name, to move us toward consistent national relevance, and to encourage the youth to be better players and people. Thank you Braden for everything you’ve given and the loyalty and passion you’ve shown day in and day out. Boiler up! And let’s make a run in March! I leave you with a quote, for what you’ve done for my 10 year old son who admires you and has been led to his basketball passion through you. You are a leader. You are inspiring the youth. Thank you! 🙏

To whoever threw the full beer can at our players from this section here - I hope you have a safe trip home.
Major onions from the fellas!

I’m behind @BoilerBall 100%. Plenty of ball to be played. These athletes have given BoilerNation so much to enjoy & be proud of. The B1G schedule is tough for every team. These guys don’t need all the outside noise to add to the stress & challenge. I believe in this staff & team!
Seems like everyone is in a shitty mood, so:
Pissed off? Absolutely... myself included. That's what makes us the best and most passionate fans in the country.
But don't be the one doubting this staff & team on 1/28 with 10 Big Ten games left to play.
#BoilerUP and LFG! 🚂🔋📈
