Thatā€™s mostly a byproduct of Kenpom time. Theyā€™ll pull their starters and get some rest for Monday.

I picked MSU to make it through this weekend :joy::joy::joy:

I knowā€¦stupid

Is Purdue considered one of the good Big Ten teams? They didnā€™t beat UM, Illinois, Iowa this year. Sort of a flukey resume.

It wasnā€™t just you! Apparently we never properly considered how miserable anyone would get sitting around Indianapolis for a week. Or at least thatā€™s the narrative I start pushing tonight if Purdue goes down too :cold_sweat:

Yeah, Iā€™ve never really been that high on them. But if youā€™re not considering Purdue a good team, then were there 4 good teams in the league this year? And one of those 4 just lost to a 15 seed?

not loving my Rutgers over Clemson pick right nowā€¦

Well, I guess what are we trying to gauge. I think Rutgers and Maryland have a good chance to pick up a win. I just didnā€™t really expect Purdue to make a deep run.

1076

It always seems like Purdue should be better than they are ? Maybe the coach isnā€™t a good recruiter?

1077

I expected Sweet 16 with their draw. Nova or Winthrop should have been wins.

And you think Maryland knocks off the media darling, UConn?

This is Kenā€™s fault. He reevaluated all of his numbers and confirmed we werenā€™t the best conference ever. That put this weekend in motion.

In the words of the announcers:
