I don't like blatant taunting, but he deserves to do it as much as any player ever. MSU fans got his cell phone number and left him bad messages, including racially challenged messages that him a ni**er and numerous other things. I'm not a huge Cousins fan, but fuck MSU fans, and I'm happy he showed those fuckers up. They deserve any taunting they got. |

Yeah, Purdue's defense is the most physical in the league. They purposely try to get as close as possible to that line between physical defense and a foul as possible. The thing is, most of the players are very good at knowing where that lines is and staying just shy of it. Purdue doesn't make its living off of getting calls (or no calls) from refs. Its defense is so good because it goes up to the limit of what a foul is and not many players have faced a defense with that consistent a physical presence. |

Defensive players have every right to space and area that offensive players have. Purdue attacks aggressively those spots as much as the offense does. Very few teams do it, so people think its illegal. |

Purdue players don't have every right to the opponent's jersey. They grab jerseys and bump cutters away from the ball quite a bit. And it's not illegal, just a foul. I don't disagree with the physical strategy though. From what I've read and heard on the subject, statistically, being the more physical team tends to pay off. I forget who said it or where I saw it, but someone said that, no matter how the teams play, the fouls at the end of the game usually end up close to even. Refs tend to know if there is a huge a foul discrepancy and (consciously or subconsciously) even out the numbers. If the fouls usually end up even, why not play more physical and get away with more? Seems smart to me. |

First of all, they don't "grab and bump" all game long. If they did, I guarantee they would get called for it. Its a physical game, and Purdue goes at the offensive player aggressively. They don't let cutters get where they want. Ever thought that the reason there is so much bumping off the ball is because of how the offensive player plays? You'd think that after doing it for the past 3 decades or so, that someone would complain to the league and it'd get called as such. |

It's not a foul for a player to hold their ground instead of letting a cutter make a move. A defensive player has just as much right to a position on the floor as an offensive player. Just because very few teams take advantage of the fact doesn't make it a foul. |

grabbing jerseys is a foul. I've seen a lot of Purdue jersey grabbing in my day. |

You are right. We're a bunch of cheaters and the B10 panders to us. |

This Purdue team plays better defense than pretty much any from the past three decades, IMO. It's aggressive defense. If it's truly a case where a defender is holding an offensive player, then the offensive player simply needs to run into the contact...refs will call extended contact. Don't know where the sudden hatred for Purdue defense is coming from. They have only shot 20 more free throws than their opponents in Big Ten play and they are on the upper end talent wise...so it's not like they don't have calls going against them. |

It's not cheating. I never said it was cheating. I'm just saying, Purdue is a physical team that gets away with a lot. I don't see why you are so defensive about it. Fouls go uncalled in every game, and fouls that shouldn't be called are. It's just the nature of the game. Purdue is just more physical. If I was a Purdue, that's how I'd want it. |

This right there is what makes us upset. We don't get away with anything more than what any other B10 school gets away with. Good fucking Lord, get a life. We're a team that gets away with a lot?!?!?!?!? Edited by dçamden03, Feb 18 2010, 04:13 AM.
