Because they are informed? Know he was a big deal in the state?

Love purvis but dont get how he has knocked down as many 3s as he has... He doesnt have that pretty of a shot... The thing that really has got me this year is his foot being on that damn out of bounds line... Did NC state play on a wider court (rhetorical question boneyarders)

I saw this thread title and half expected there to be a positive response to RP being jeered...I kid, I kid.
Through all of his missteps and boneheaded plays, Rodney is still one of ours. Tough to remember sometimes, but true.

No kidding. Who has time to discuss the linear rationale for why fans from the state of North Carolina are razzing Purvis in a game being played in North Carolina?
Besides, the refs were horrible tonight. That is a discussion worth having.

Agree Chin, only us here in Connecticut (i.e. Yarders) are allowed to exercise that right.

This game is a loss without Rodney!
LOL! I'm sorry but our pet peeves are just not the same.

Technically I'm in South Carolina for work, but your larger point is well taken. He's our player.
And as far as I know, he didn't step out of bounds once tonight. (Although I thought maybe he did right as the feed went blank and a family member cut the cord so no one could see it).

The thing is...this is not just a North Carolina phenomenon. I remember hearing the "Purvis sucks!" chant on the road at least once already this season. IIRC, it was at Tulsa. I recall thinking, "wtf, how do they even know who Purvis is?!" Anyone have any ideas?

Yeah, Purvis seems to get a lot of heat everywhere.

He's a former McDAA. He is our best known player other than Boat and had the most hype entering college of any of our kids. If you, as an opposing school's student, do the slightest bit of homework before the game, you'll see he was highly touted and is having a down year. That makes him the target.
Hell, we did much more in depth homework on our opponents when I was in school. Made fun of kids' mothers and pets and if they got in legal trouble for being connected to crack cocaine (looking at you Paul Harris).
Riding someone for being hyped and not living up to it is easy stuff.

“I’m from this area, so I expected that,” Purvis said afterwards. “That wasn’t a surprise.”
It was a little odd, however, considering that the animosity apparently stemmed from the fact that Purvis left his hometown school to transfer to UConn last year. Of course, his hometown school was North Carolina State, not ECU.
“I left the area,” he said with a smile and a shrug. “That’s how it goes.”
“I wasn’t coming to East Carolina, so I don’t know why they were with all that,” he said. “But this kind of atmosphere is great. I appreciate it.”

I think the bigger problem is that ECU is baby brother to NCSU. Their students are probably NCSU fans too, kinda like around here CCSU fans consider UConn their team unless we are playing CCSU.
Which sucks for us cuz it means we are in a conference with everyone's second choice school, yay.

Most ECU "students" are usually UNC fans who couldn't get in so they went to ECU, not NCSU fans.
The reason why they were booing was simply because they are a trashy, classless fanbase.

Ah ok. Thanks. Well my point holds, they're all going to Safety School U but still root for the mothership.
