Minnesota Golden Gophers at Purdue Boilermakers, Mar 13, 2010 4:30 PM EST
How can we top yesterday? The first game had this, courtesy of reader dbaltman:
Then you have last night's evening session, where there was some, ahem, disagreement with the quality of officiating in both games. Today should be interesting because of the storylines in both games. You have two programs that have an outside shot at that 4th #1 seed, especially if you want to cheer for Mrs. T-Mill's Hurricanes against Duke. On the other side in each game, you have a pair of bubble teams that might have won their way into yesterday, but would probably like another win over said #1 seed contenders in order to make their place more secure.
We can only concern ourselves with Minnesota. Their game with us is pretty similar to their game with Michigan State last night. They were comfortably beaten on the road, but lost by one at home to the Sparatans. Michgian State has owned the recent series just as we have. Minnesota hasn't beaten us since winning at the Barn in 2007. That is a streak of five straight games since we later defeated them in West Lafayette that season, we only played once in 2008 and 2009, and both games this year. The Gophers have never advanced to the Big Ten Tournament's final game, but they have been to the semifinals three times, most recently in 2007.
The all-time Big Ten Tournament series between Purdue and Minnesota is split. Purdue won the first meeting in 2001 (our only tournament win between 1998 and 2007), but Minnesota won in 2004 to deny us an NCAA bid.
Let's face it, these two teams have played each other twice already and they know each other pretty well. Minnesota is not going to win today if Ralph Sampson III gets shut out again. He had possibly his best game of the year in what will forever been known as The Robbie Game. Even then, when we were shellshocked into an 18-0 run after Robbie's injury we still found a way to win. Colton Iverson has really stepped up his play in this tournament so far, scoring 12 in each game.
This team seems like it is on a mission since it got drilled by Michigan on March 2nd. Sure, two of the victories since then have come over Iowa and Penn State, but they were resounding wins in which there was no doubt. Damian Johnson and Sampson were the only ones that did a ton of damage against us the last time. Sampson had 21 and Johnson had 12 while running his mouth. We also need to look out for Devoe Joseph, who simply assassinated Michigan State last night.
I like our chances tonight because we won The Robbie Game. We've had four full games to continue adjusting since then, but we're facing a team fighting for its postseason life. Honestly, it is a toss-up, but I think we get the job done because of the following, submitted by reader Brendan Wiley:
Yes, that is a young Matt Painter wearing #20 for Coast in the 1994 movie Blue Chips. This is how you open a game thread, with video of your coach playing in a movie about rampant cheating in college basketball. Here's a better close-up. Each your heart out, Tubby!
What was the over/under on number of assists from Painter in this game?

I like our matchups with Minnesota.
But the Gophers are practically playing a play-in game. If they win this, they’re pretty much in. Lose and they have a shot, but probably less than 50/50. That is what scares me the most. Hopefully Matty can find a way to really motivate these guys.
Today
Good morning. In less than an hour, we will be launching the largest aerial battle in the history of Basketball.
“Basketball.” That word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can’t be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests. Perhaps it’s fate that today is the 13th of March, and you will once again be fighting for the Big Ten title… Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution… but from annihilation. We are fighting for our right to live. To exist. And should we win the day, the 13th of March will no longer be known as the 13th of March, but as the day Purdue declared in one voice: “We will not go quietly into the night!” We will not vanish without a fight! We’re going to live on! We’re going to survive! Today we celebrate our Independence Day!
Yeah….
What he sed ….. Tink….
Love

Boeheim and Calhoun
Also made a nice cameo in the movie, I find this hilarious especially Boeheim since the nice little “blogwar” we had going with Syracuse… and the fact that both teams have suffered a knee injury…
Blue Chips! Yes!
I was at this game where Coach Painter played for Coast. This movie was filmed in my high school gym in Frankfort, Indiana. I still wear my Western University t-shirt religiously!
Other Boiler Coastals
Ryan Berning, who Sports Illustrated described a few years earlier as “Purdue’s other senior mainstay, … a 6’9” overachiever who looks terrific in airports."
Here’s the link to the entire “Blue Chips” cast:

Pretty cool that Painter gets a screen credit and Louis Gossett, Jr does not. Suppose this movie was Matty’s first paying job in basketball?
I’m impressed, TMill. You got this up in a hurry.
Wasn't Craig Riley a Boiler too?
I think it is hte new mission of Hammer & Rails nation to raise Painter’s Star Meter on IMDB.com. I think I will ask him about this in the presser today.

I Think
MN will hang with us the 1st half- and then we run them off the court. They have to be tired.
I think IL will either take OSU to the shed- or get close enough to it- so that they will be pretty thin and tired tomorrow as well.
Prepping for the Big Dance - Colts Style
MSU gone. Wisconsin gone. If a weak Michigan team guards the best player in the country, the Buckeyes would be gone.
Syracuse, Nova, Pitt – gone, gone, gone. Even Alford’s #8 Lobos went home last night.
Resting up for the big tourney? The talking heads don’t seem to feel these losses hurt much in the seeding process. Makes ya think.

It comes from Illinois playing more bench players throughout the season
This is something that Painter has done a great job with. He made sure our bench players got plenty of experience this season. As horrendous it is sometimes to watch Bade, you cannot deny that he has improved and developed at his position.
Wow, OSU looks gassed
And the first half isn’t even over. How’s that bench working out for ya?

I think they need this one more, but I would put them in with a win. Of course, they could remove all doubt with a win tomrorow and remember, the team that has won both regular season games between us the last two years has lost the BTT game.

Regardless of this run, though, I don’t trust the four guys to be playing 80 minutes of ball in a weekend and certainly not 120 minutes in 3 days.

Yeah, im still pissed off at Huet and I consider him responsible for Illinois not scoring for 7 minutes
as well as losing that game
he is obviously not responsible for the 7 minutes of no scoring
but he is responsible for today’s loss
Huet
Not to get into a full on debate on these boards, but Huet made some HUGE saves throughout the game today. The defense sucked towards the end. No way Philly should have a 4 on 2

nope but plenty of time

But there’s no way we could put together a worse half and Minny probably just had their best half of basketball in a very long time, shooting 60% and crushing us on the boards. The second half will be more respectable.
If I were Painter, JJ isn’t allowed above the foul line for the rest of the game and every possession must have at least one dribble drive before the ball goes up. Take small steps and make this game less embarrassing.

Even if we don't complete the epic comeback
We can still shut up some of these BS discussions about dropping 5 spots
BTFU!
You can't stop BS
You can only hope to contain it. They can say “Oh Minnesota took their foot off the gas.” Or “Regression to the mean.”
Actually, BS’ers would never say “regression to the mean.” But a comeback beyond just that would let the seeding committee pass this off as a bad half. I say we still get kicked down a seed, unless it’s single digits at the end.
In their favor or ours.
by Beavis Beefcake on Mar 13, 2010 5:51 PM EST up reply actions
we have to get some open looks for three (Kramer, Grant, Hart, Byrd, or Smith)
thats right Kramer, we need you to shoot the ball if you’re open! now or never. next 2 minutes is the last two minutes.
Worst half ever
or opportunity for the greatest comeback in BT tournament history? Gentlemen, you have the next 16 minutes to decide.

you are a center. stop shooting threes. we have enough players who can miss those

Where JJ is on the floor seems to dictate our pace
If he goes down low, we attack the basket and get rebounds. If he’s outside we’ll jack a pointless 3 and have no one in position. I’m starting to see just how much Rob really bailed him out in the past.
BTFU!
