Nobody is talking about how many of these guys were Mr. Indiana/Runner ups. That's where so much of their intelligence and composure comes from. Painter recruits and coaches his players up so very well, BTFU ppl!!!!
Any of those dudes on team last year would make anyone bev knows look like lunch meat on the court . Without last years team we couldn’t have grown into what is now .
I TOLD YOU ALL LAST YEAR - THAT WE WOULD BE BETTER THIS YEAR WITHOUT IVEY!!!! Time to collect my winnings. And a more fun team as well, right? That said, I Never thought I would see purdue smash Duke in my lifetime. Everyone on this team is a winner unlike all the showboaters last year - so glad that Ivey, Trevion, etc are gone. Overrated. Not team players. I'm sure Ivey is thriving in the nba tho where no defense is played and team ball doesn't matter. And I say that not because purdue is 6-0, they could be 5-1 and I would still say it. I said all last year that Ivey and Trevion were not winners, no matter how talented they were, they did not play team ball consistently game in and game out. Meanwhile I said all of last year that Edey has a winner's mindset and shouldn't be getting benched for Trevion EVER. Edey Only been playing basketball 6 years. A model of consistency. Finally getting 30 minutes per game and dropping 20 and 10 every game. Painter doesn't need 5 star recruits or players who play like 5 star recruits (Ivey). This is what painter does - he is GREAT with average D 1 players - he gets them to play as a team! Ivey and Trevion only messed that up last year with their huge heads! Duke has a handful of 5 star recruits and we demolished them! Gonzaga has 5 star recruits and we demolished them! We are already champs! More trophies already than were expected - I mean we are starting ONLY FRESHMAN guards! We have a handful of freshman in our 10 player rotation if you include the redshirt freshmen. No seniors on this team! And Edey is such a good man he might even stay next year, think about how sick we would be! Time for my comeuppance - I love this team again! Ivey and Trevion play crappy defense. And that stuff rubbed off on everyone else on the team. Even last year purdue wasn't the most talented team in the nation. Our only chance was to win with hustle like we are this year. Everyone on this team hustles on defense. It is infectious. This team is better than last year even if "less talented". They are winners.
Its okay to celebrate this team, but don't think we need to trash shortfalls in last years roster to do that. Last year Ivey and Tre carried us to a similar MTE championship. Love this team's improvement defensively, and their cohesion, but Jaden and Tre gave a lot to our program.
Trevion Williams took on a bench role after being a starter. He was very much a team player in not grousing or having attitude about that. Ivey was the star and he was intended to be. They missed advancing only because of a special team that surprised many. It's possible to point out better things without badmouthing last year's team.
It’s not necessarily Ivey and Trevion that aren’t missed but hunter and stefanovich who aren’t missed. These freshman are better than those two seniors. Stefanovich was a streaky shooter and that’s it he was a liability on defense and the rest of his offense sucked. Hunter just wasn’t good. Loyer and Smith are both way better players. Ivey was just athletic but wasn’t a complete game changer at the college level. Trevion was a good player and great in the post but not needed as much with how good edy is.
18th season and finally Painter has a team that can win it all, last year was a good start too with pre bigten victories against NC and Villanova, but they look different this year,, they may go undefeated.

Coach Painter is "That Dude." 😏
Great day to be a Boiler
Caleb Furst reminds me of a Viking, fearless, killer instinct, fighter all the way!
Remarkable wins that were so much deserved by Purdue!
Thanksgiving 2022 - "I was there"
I love Paint
Three great wins for Purdue basketball. This is only going to make them more competitive in the Big Ten Conference.
I loved the teamwork and attitude that I saw. Last year we had some players that were hot-doggers.
Coach painter don’t have wieners on his team any year . Just becomes a better coach every year shows more trust in his players.
Any of those dudes on team last year would make anyone bev knows look like lunch meat on the court . Without last years team we couldn’t have grown into what is now .
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Top 5 Basketball team
Best coach of all time
Michigan is saying they will not play their best football players against Purdue, they need rest for the playoff
Hey Painter, go ahead and forfeit!
