Painter would kill it at UNC but he obviously went to Purdue.

This is the whitest team I've seen in a long time. These guys are nearly translucent
Nebraska is pretty damn white, however, those guys seem a hell of a lot more likable and personable than Purdue. They look like they’re ready to slam beers after a win. Purdue seems so dorky and whiny

I did not realize they were. Consider them pretty neutral as far as the national needle goes.

I could see them as boring but not really unlikable

I have been to the Purdue campus a few times for job fairs, the students I interacted with all seemed like typical students at any other campus. The campus is nice. The graduates I know are all good people

I got a photo with the Purdue mascot. That's all I got

Don’t feel strongly about Purdue one way or the other

Purdue basketball is easy to dislike.
Why?

They have the most Big Ten regular season championships, the school of John Wooden, and yet they are completely overshadowed by Indiana, Michigan State, Michigan, Ohio State and now UCLA.
Nobody really associates UCLA basketball with the B1G, and they are definitely not overshadowed by Ohio State. Indiana is a has been right now. Any hoops fan will has Purdue on the level with Michigan and MSU.

Purdue has zero final fours in school history
Wut?

They also seem to retain players at a good rate which is refreshing these days.
Yeah. I’d pull for Purdue if I didn’t have a dog in the fight. Solid program. 7/9 Sweet 16s, means they’ve rightfully shed the image of being chokers.

Remember the combover battles from the 80's between Gene Keady and Lou Henson "the Lou 'do" from Illinois back in the 80's? Good times.

What do you mean?!? They look like they shouldn’t win, but they do. I picked them to win it all!

They aren’t likable because they stopped the Brady steamroller in 03
They also aren’t likeable because for a bit they had high seeds while choking and Eddy was annoying

Purdue has a bunch of white guys who can shoot, and handle the ball. That's why they are unlikeable. Those dudes can play.

They think they're a blue blood.

I have followed Purdue sports for a long time. Married into it.
Brees is a kneeling disgrace, frick him for all time.
Bob Griese.
Mike Alstott. A DAWG.
Anytime they get a good football coach, he will be poached with the quickness (ie Brohm).
Matt Painter is soft as Charmin…and his teams are in his image.
Purdon’t ain’t winnin’ shiite.

I like some of the Gene Keady Purdue teams. He was fun to watch. I always thought he had the right personality to coach football successfully. Early in his tenure, they were underdogs to some of the other Big 10 teams more often than not. Keady was tough on his players, especially his guards, but he developed some good ones. I think he got more out of some of his players than some other coaches might have. Some didn't do as well as expected when they got to the NBA. I think some of those guys just played harder than the guy they were facing at Purdue. Playing harder wasn't going to overcome the talen on an NBA team.
SMU used to host a Cotton Bowl Basketball tournament at Reunion Arena the last week in December. In1986 they had No. 1 North Carolina, No. 2 Purdue, themselves and Towson State in it. SMU played Towson and won, and UNC and Purdue played each other the 1st night. SMU and UNC won those games and met in the championship game the 2nd night. UNC was the champion.
The UNC vs. Purdue game ended with score of 94-81.
The next night UNC beat SMU 88-86.
I got quotes from all of the coaches the first night. Keady joked with the media guys he knew before the game, and was nice after losing to UNC. He reminded me of a preacher I knew as a kid. That preacher could bring down thunder during one of his sermons, but was calm and friendly when you talked with him. That's kind of how I saw Keady.
Check out the players on each team's roster.
Dean Smith was maybe the coolest old guy I'd met at that point, but that was before I met Pat Riley.

Great Q. I hate em…. Prolly (bout*) the only team selling development than can be mentioned in the top 10 programs every year. Only 2 cats I know fighting in the nba; ivey edey.
Maybe, they could have done better. Or they’re
