The Crossroads Classic was not the game Butler fans were hoping it would be. The beat down resulted in a lot of tweets filled with sadness. Check out the best Boilermaker-loss induced tweets from Butler fans.
The magic conch shell has spoken.

@Butler: “You miss 100% of the shots you take. – Wayne Gretzky” – Michael Scott
Fun fact: you can’t win a basketball game if you don’t hit literally any shots at all. ?

I like it better when you tweet “The Butler Way.”
Purdue is the epitome of a fist. Individually, it’s tough, but collectively? Potentially dominant. Boilers pound Butler in Indy. Never a doubt.

Fun is not the right word, John.

Ironically, Butler had about the same percentage as my finals.
Seven. Of. 30.#Butler

There was nothing pretty about that.
Gritty and definitely not pretty

No. There wasn’t a way.
There is NO way #Butler can pull another comeback like Ohio State, right? Right?

That guy threw us for a loop today.
We have no idea what to do about Haas

Exhibit A:
Take 3 inches off of Isaac Haas and we’re winning by 20 rn

Didn’t work.
#Butler is trying really hard this year to win a game while shooting below 25 percent.

But at least it wasn’t D-III level….right?
Butler’s half-court offense looks about D-II level right now

So are we, sad fan.

You could say that.
Butler coach LaVall Jordan: “The opening statement is #Purdue’s a really good basketball team.”
