Purdue basketball was absolutely burning after suffering a loss to Iowa State
Purdue basketball was the runner-up for the 2024 national championship and enjoyed a solid campaign after losing program legend Zach Eddy to the NBA, but the Boilermakers remain the subject of relentless scrutiny even after achieving that success. Until Matt Painter’s crew gets the job done, the pranks will continue. After Saturday afternoon there is plenty of mocking 81-58 loss at home against Iowa State.
The No. 10 Cyclones dismantled the No. 1 team in the country inside Mackay Arena, hitting fans with a harsh reality check before conference play began. This experienced group still has a long way to go if they want to win the sport’s top prize. Luckily, it’s only December. College hoops fans still come for the Boilermakers.
“Did someone tell Purdue it’s March,” @NoEscalators joked on X. “Purdue goes to Purdue every time,” @King_Cold_Son commented. “Can we all agree to never rank Purdue #1 again?” @aburks41 noticed. “They are the biggest scams every year.”
Widespread derision is not new to those representing or rooting for this team, but ignoring the ongoing narratives can be a demanding task for young athletes, especially when the beating in West Lafayette follows.
