Purdue Fans Serenaded Jared Sullinger With “Party in the USA” While He Was Shooting Free Throws

All, College Basketball, Video Jason McIntyre February 21st. 2011, 10:56am

Last month we unearthed this video of Jared Sullinger and a couple Ohio State teammates singing the Miley Cyrus song, “Party in the USA.” The video was a smash hit, it went viral, and eventually the pregame hoops shows ran features on it. Yesterday, Purdue fans sang “Party in the USA” while Sullinger attempted free throws in the second half (:35 mark of the video).

That was hilarious. Jared drained both free throws though.
E’twaun Moore was channeling his inner-Jordan on Saturday afternoon. That SOB couldn’t miss. He must have thought he was throwing the ball into the ocean. There’s a reason Purdue is undefeated at home. It took that kind of effort.
And, yes, Purdue would be all sorts of nasty with Hummel.

The home advantage in college bball has to be the best in sports right?

i thought that while watching the game. i love the NBA, NFL, college football … but nothing can top watching college hoops. proximity of fans to the court, passion of the fans … if you asked my wife what my favorite sport was, she’d say, college basketball just because of March Madness

I fully support this statement as well.
That said, as much as I hate that smarmy bastard, Bo Ryan is one hell of a basketball coach in a league full of them – Izzo, Painter, Matta, Tubby, Beilein, etc…

we were dying laughing at the bar. sullinger was locked in. we kept waiting for some acknowledgement of the humor.
also, that officiating in the first half was a fucking joke both ways. ruined the game.

Did you watch the OSU game? Or last year when they beat Duke? Were those not entertaining games? UW gets this bad rap like they still only score 40 points a game as they did under Dick Bennett. I’ll take 6 or so less points than the national average and 10 years of consistent winning any day. Also, it’s actually nice watching a team grow over 4 years, unlike the Syracuse’s and Kentucky’s which feature brand new teams every year.

This. Did you know that the same crew did the Michigan State/Illinois game at 9 pm the night before? For any crew, that is ridiculous.
But, to add insult, putting Valentine and Sanzere on the same court, officiating that game was going to be a disaster no matter how many days rest they had.

They shouldn’t be – if not for a botched out of bounds call by Ted Hillary with 4 seconds left PSU wins there

the “lets pass the ball around the arch for 30 seconds and pass up good shots only to take a 3 with 4 seconds left on the shot clock” offense is so brutal to watch.

Works pretty well considering they’re not in a position to nab top level recruits, the state just doesn’t produce much talent (hell I think Wes Matthews is probably one of the best in recent memory already)…20 wins again with the victory last night

E’twaun Moore was channeling his inner-Jordan Taylor on Saturday afternoon.
It seems the key to beating the Buckeyes is to make sure your best player has the game of his life and hope the Buckeyes go cold from three.
Thankfully, the regular season means absolutely nothing in College Baskebtall thanks the the playoffs.

Again…they score 70 points a game… OSU scores 77…what more do you want?

What would you guys do in this scenario. I’m working a HS playoff game on Friday night, and “Green” is winning by 4 with 4 minutes to go. “White” loses the ball out of bounds under their own basket (i.e., Green ball going the length of the court). I’m now the official at the far end of the court, and as I turn around after jogging down my fellow official mistakenly gives the ball to “White” on the throw-in, who throws it in and scores an uncontested lay-up under their own basket.
I hit the whistle from the other end of the court and come running down to talk about this, and the “Green” coach goes nuts. Now, by rule, once the ball is thrown in there is NOTHING that can be corrected. So, we can either:
a) let the basket stand as the rule states, and know a Tech and more foul shots are coming as the Green coach would lose it;
b) throw the rule book out the window, disallow the basket and start over with Green ball.
We chose b), and I’ll likely be taken off the playoff list going forward for “kicking” a rule.

and they don’t pass up good shots…. they take the first one they see, unless they’re trying to run out the clock at the end of the game. It just so happens that most of the time the only good shots they get looks at come off of their sets.

Seven points is the difference between an enjoyable experience watching a basketball game and one that’s not enjoyable? Really? 3 Baskets?

They scooped him up from Chicago which is also where I think they got Alando Tucker from…not a whole lot of homegrown talent here (Leuer and Taylor even are both from Minnesota)

I was being sarcastic. I don’t think its the amount of points scored that bugs people about Wisconsin. It’s the method in which they go about scoring their points. They usually take good shots and make them, but they use up 30+ seconds of the shot clock to get there. This style of basketball is unappealing to some. I personally don’t mind it.

I think he was referring to the school, no the state. At least, that’s what I took it as. Yeah, the only good athletic talent sthe state of WI churns out is offensive lineman.

The two teams I’m supposed to cheer for have a combined record of 15-77 in their conference games over the last 2 and a half seasons.

Correct. His brother went to Wisconsin (Marcus) and was in the league last I heard, although, it was riding the pine for the Knicks.
