38 freaking points for Moore. Insane.

Hardest game to watch in a long time.

Only guys that played as bad as the Buckeyes were the refs.

Hello headache.

You can tell this game meant far more to Purdue than it did to us. However, that's no excuse for some of the things that happened today. Sloppy play on both ends and bizarrely awful play from the vets.

 

[Buckeye Nut]

Same here.

But that is how today has gone.

Purdue gets away with 2 controversial over the backs, and the refs nail us with 1 that I still dont understand?

We played like garbage, nothing to do with the refs.

this loss is all on our team. if we play this poorly in the tournament, we're an early out.

our mettle will be tested in just 52 hours. i think we truly find out what our team is made of against illinois. our legs and our heart are battered, and i guarantee you that the hungry illini smell blood in the water. they know that a win on our court guarantees a berth.

Wiscy was worse. We had our knee on their throat and then they just went insane hitting everything. I can take losing a relatively close game despite horrific play. The Wiscy game stung.

We deserved to lose no doubt.

But if you do not think the officials had a negative influence on the game, then I do not know what to tell you.

We did not lose because of the officiating, but it put us in a tougher spot.

25-2 aint too shabby gentleman.

If they are on the 1 line and in Cleveland I could careless what the buckeyes record is going in...all that matters is that which happens in the tourney.

 

[Gatorubet]

Rooting for the Bucks, Gator?

If y'all aren't playing my team (or my conference), then I always want you to win.

But other than that little caveat, I hope the Bucks win every game they play in whatever sport they field.

 

[y0yoyoin]

it is bullshit tho that 2 of our losses, one dude from the other team goes completely off and we essentially lose because of one person (Taylor, Moore)

 

[utgrad73]

Home court and Moore - take Moore out of the game and we win big. They played a good game, we didn't.

 

[NFBuck]

Exactly. The officiating was pretty brutal both ways. SNG11 always blames the refs.

Bullshit. The Buckeyes had a bad game along with Etwan(sp?) Moore having the game of his life. I think our starters are beat down but I'm sure there are other factors that led to this horrible game. Hope they can pull together and win it all.

3-point shooting:

Moore: 70%
Rest of Purdue: 0%

The Buckeyes played poorly, but that is frustrating as hell.

I have been saying for years. It is time for the NCAA to either move the 3 point line back, or just get rid of it. I cant stand watching players just stand back there and jack up 3s. Moore shot 70% today from 3!
