the 10 year transformation of Purdue basketball

- Last year Purdue climbed the mountain when lots of people had already given up on them. but just 10 years ago, they were the worst team in the big ten. so how did Purdue go from worst to first in 10 years?
I respect the hell out of the Purdue way of doing things.
last 5 minutes totally summed up so well how so many of us fans felt in little cesar’s arena on March 31st 2024. Never ever will I forget that moment knowing that the monkey is off the programs back
Great video. A handful of minor inaccuracies tho. Our first ever #1 ranking came in the 21-22 season, not 22-23. Stefanovic and Wheeler didn’t play in 17-18 just to name a couple. Not hating, just letting ya know.
Ya I should've checked that. Idk why I thought Sasha and Wheeler were freshmen in 17-18, Maybe I was thinking bc that was the year they committed? Idk, it's all cool tho. Thanks for letting me know.
@@limitless_pullsyou are both right and wrong. they both were on that squad, they both redshirted. painter played all 4 freshman the next season, and worked very well. Also the 2019-20 season wasn’t as bad as you remember, including 5 ranked wins (2 of them top 10 ranked wins) but the season overall we were so inconsistent lol.
The basketball program at Purdue has been top-notch even with the disappointments. The coaches and players have demonstrated consistent and tenacious dedication to playing Black and Gold B-ball that is truly appreciated by most of the fan base. It's also not hard to armchair quarterback the team and coaching. It's been SO MUCH FUN being a Boilermaker over the past few years. But remember - it's kids playing a game. Go Boilers.
I completely agree. Sadly, sports media as a whole have moved twords a championship or bust attitude. Obviously a natty is the goal, but winning big ten championships is still an accomplishment for these guys. No doubt that they put in the work every day.
I would get frustrated being a fan of a historical mediocre program. My favorite program is elite.
@@JTH-hm8ew it's definitely more frustrating reading your uppity snobby comments.
I suppose that being a fan of the program that holds the NCAA record for most Final Fours at 21 and the most all time NCAA tourney wins does tend to make its respective fans spoiled.
@JTH-hm8ew so as a North Carolina fan you came here to start hating on Purdue...you have no beef with us other than we beat you the last time we played. You aren't a rival or anything.
To fully tell the story, a few minutes should have been spent analyzing why Purdue finished last in the Big Ten conference and what became the driving force behind Painter's approach to recruiting. For those who don't know, the answer is Terone Johnson's brother Ronnie.
No disrepect to Terone Johnson, who is an amazingly good guy despite being raised by a complete ***hole. Terone had all of the characteristics Matt Painter looks for in a player. So, it was not surprising that Terone's more talented and sought after brother signed with Purdue a couple of years later.
What was surprising was the Ronnie was a selfish piece of ****. The kind of player who puts himself before the team. As the team struggled, Ronnie, with the help of his father, mutinied, tried to take the rest of the team with them and force Painter out as coach.
Everything culminated in a post-game press conference in which Coach Painter lamented signing players because they have family on the team. He said, "this isn't high school, I don't have to sign guys just because they live in my district." Ronnie got the message and transferred.
And you wonder why Painter let Kanon Catchings walk?
Great video. I feel like as a Virginia fan, we have a lot in common, 2019 Elite Eight aside. I was rooting for you guys with that in mind
How u know so much but can’t pronounce a damn name.
I'm not normally the grammar police. But if you have a problem with me mispronouncing names, at least use correct grammar in your comment. Also, it's bc I didn't double check. I just went off memory, so clearly I remembered wrong.
The hate will always come. I’ve heard “didn’t win the championship” from non UCONN fans. I’ve also heard “see you guys are frauds” when Catchings decomitted. But I don’t really care. I’m just happy we finally did something in March
Ya that stuff is weird. If people read about why Catchings decomitted and think that's a Purdue problem, then idk what to say.
It only took 44 years for historical mediocre Purdue to reach the Final Four again! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
44 straight years in between Final Fours. Purdue is the opposite of my favorite program which is elite unlike Purdue.
I really still do respect this program even as a UCONN fan. It's hard to come from irrelevance to where the program is now. That takes hard work and from all accounts Purdue does it the right way. They aren't out there going after other teams players. Still wish them the best.
As a UConn fans we know the feeling of heart breaking losses back in the early 90s. Purdue beat a lot of really good teams the past two seasons and making it to the championship isn't anything to scoff at.
Did it with mainly non-transfer, in-state players. Old school BB.
During player intros for the national championship, I'm pretty sure Zach was the only guy not from Indiana 😂. It is really nice to see Matt do this with in state guys.
This was great!
We were always nervous like bunnies, as every Purdue fan should be.
Boiler up
I got to go to the Final 4. It was unreal how many Purdue fans were there. We dwarfed the other 3 fanbases. UConn was so stacked and it was a frustrating loss in the end, but in most other years Purdue would have won the title handily. But with as many Purdue fans were there, the Purdue-themed bars simply were beyond capacity and unable to serve us all. Kind of a good/bad situation.
It's "Mathias" not "Mathas".
Thanks
Great season, and while a lot of pain was relieved, we still failed to reach the one goal which was also painful considering how close we got. Guards win in March and our guards were way softer than UConn’s. I hope Purdue wins it all before I die 😂
14:37 when we won this was the first time somenpurdie fans cried for there team in countless years( great video)
Haha. GONZAGA was the first team to make Purdue fans nervous??? Did you watch your OWN video?? I have never been more nervous in forty years than during the Gambling State game. Can you remember? The first half we were barely staying ahead of them. I was MUCH less nervous during the Gonzaga game. And I was more nervous during the Tennessee game than the NC State game. I'll let you in on a secret. Zach will exceed all expectations, and Purdue will be a final four threat again. Start acting like we belong there, because we do.
That's your own personal opinion, I was nervous about the Grambling game. I was nervous about every game. Everyone experiences it differently and has their own concerns. You aren't "letting me in on a secret". I want Zach to do good, I hope he does. I think we can make a final 4 again, Matt Painter is great at building this program up even when we lose guys like Edwards and Ivey.
Who is the announcer of this video? So far you've mispronounced Dakota Mathias AND Nojel Eastern's names. Maybe you're just too young and those guys were before your time, but dude, respect the older players. Dakota was a friggin stud.
Tf you mean who is the "announcer"? Do you think I have the money to pay someone to do this? How would I be too young to watch them? The reason I mispronounced Nojel Eastern was bc I thought I remembered the PA announcer in Mackey saying it that way. No shit Dakota was a stud. It's not disrespect it's an honest mistake. I'm tired of yall assuming you know shit about me bc I made some mistakes.
This guy doesn’t even watch BIG 10. He was way off on the pronunciation of a ton of the main names. Davis is an anchor on the BIG 10 network still and he called him a ninja turtle.
Damn so I guess the years I spent making post game reaction videos to Purdue basketball and football never happened. Or all the time my dad and I spent watching Purdue football and basketball. Or even better, when I was the only Purdue fan at my lunch table in school and had to constantly argue with IU fans. I didn't watch all the heartbreaking losses, and I didn't cry tears of joy when we went to the national championship this past year. I must have just imagined all of that bc I mispronounced a few names. I would really like to hear your explanation on that.
All Sasha could do was watch. He said no I am going to help Purdue go to a natty as a coach
The second this guy mispronounced Dakota Mathias and Rapheal davis names I dipped. This guy is just reading some facts/stats with no insight.
@scrub_dd ive been making Purdue videos on this channel since 2020 (ua-cam.com/video/sM6qV1wOVn0/v-deo.html), and I've been a fan my whole life. Even if I was just reading some facts/stats with no insight... who do you think got the stats and facts? You think I paid someone to do the research for me?
Its pronounced "RAY-FELL"
👍
Great video, who cares about saying a players name perfect, Funny thing is all those losers knew who you were talking about when they put their loser ass comments on this video. Shrug off the hate and keep pumping out the content! Thanks again and Boiler Up! Last year is only the beginning of the next great story for Purdue.
Thanks, but it is something I need to work on. I shouldn't think I can always rely on my memory to pronounce names correctly 😂. Just gotta improve and keep on going. Can't wait to see what the next few years look like for Purdue basketball and football.
Purdue has been good for decades, not just past 10 years. They have also choked going back to Keady days when they dominated the BIG and had top ranked teams.
I think you kinda missed the point of the video.
@@limitless_pulls nope, bad headline
@@mic1240 bad headline?
@@limitless_pulls “Ten year transformation”.
In the 13-14 season, they finished last in the big ten.
In the 23-24 season, they made a national title game.
That is literally a ten year transformation. Tf else am I supposed to title a video about Purdue going from the worst team in the big ten to one of the best in the country. This video wasn't about good Purdue teams that choked or the entire history of Purdue basketball. It was just this 10 year window where they have undergone a lot of changes.
Amen Brother!
You can't even say their names correctly
Dude I work 3 jobs, getting ready to go to college, and unedited this video was close to 30 minutes long. Sorry I mispronounced Nojel Eastern and Rapheal Davis. I've been a Purdue fan all my life, and I make these videos for fun.
I could never imagine the frustration of cheering for a historical mediocre program like Purdue.
@@limitless_pulls Great Video. I've been a Purdue fan my whole life too and I'm also a Purdue Grad. There's always gonna be that one asshole. Good Luck with college.
@@limitless_pullsdon’t worry about this asshole. Respect the hustle and thanks for shedding light on a story I’d otherwise never get to see.
@@JTH-hm8ewthank God you won't have to.
This was cathartic
That's kinda why I made it, so we could all look back and see how far this program has come.
Great video of a long story. Painters prime is finally here
Great summary done by someone who really doesn't know anything about Purdue basketball.
Great comment done by somone who really doesn't know anything about me or this channel. I've been a Purdue fan since I was born. Got clowned on at school all the time for it. I was fighting for my life at the lunch table anytime Purdue lost. Thank God I was on spring break when March madness was going on. Why you felt the need to come back after your first comment and say this, I dont understand. Kind of a dick thing to do.
Great video but I would recommend figuring out how to pronounce the players’ names before covering them.
Stg I thought Nojel was pronounced with the J. I remember going to the game against Penn State in Mackey, and it was said with the J. Same thing with Rapheal Davis. It's not like I didn't do research or didn't know about these guys before I made this video.
@@limitless_pulls Dakota MathiAs as well, not hating as i like the content and coverage, but just wanted to point it out
@toontown522 ya that one too. Ik yall aren't hating, but if you spent as much time as I did on this video you might get a little defensive too 😂. It just sucks.
I mean us losing the national championship still doesn’t erase the choking over the last decade. If they had won the title then yeah it would’ve meant something but we didn’t. Now we still have the losing to low seeds narrative and more importantly no actual title we can look back on then just second place.
Winning the national championship still wouldn't erase the choking, you can't erase it. Those games still happened. we could win 10 championships, and that would still be part of our history. If you can't look back on that run and be happy and just see it as "second place," idk what to tell you.
@@limitless_pulls No one cares about Virginia’s past and present choking after they won the title in 2019 as again they have that title they can look back at.
If we won 10+ championships, no one would care that much if Purdue struggled to get another title as having 10+ championships would be second all time. You don’t see people laugh at UCLA for being mediocre now do we
