Maryland at Purdue: MASTER DISCUSSION THREAD

Wether u think that or not NET and kenpom are the 2 most used metrics for seeding. They do matter for that reason
We won the game against a very good Maryland team - all that matters - you are worried about point margin after basically sating in game that we stink? Which is it?

For the umpteenth time, a team's own NET ranking DOES NOT MATTER. It's where your opponents fall in the Quads.

I think Purdue will also move up in KenPom ratings - this was a good pairing 15 v 17.....offensively nice with a 52 pt. second half.....tempo might move up slightly too.

Really good tests coming up next two Saturdays.

Purdue finished with 8 turnovers (pretty good save that bad stretch to start the 2nd half) - Maryland had been forcing close to 17......also closed the gap on the glass - with their frontcourt, you'd take a stalemate most days if some shots are falling.

The NET is a sorting tool for SOS. A ranking by itself is not used for seeding. The important thing today with respect to the NET is that Maryland came in #11. Therefore it's a Quad 1 win. If they drop below 30, it becomes a Quad 2 win.

Not that it matters for purdue but the ncca seeds are ridiculous

Heads are likely exploding in Bloomington as bandwagon “football fans” attempt to determine who to cheer for — Notre Dame or Indinia!
Easy, the cheer for whatever team is winning and they will say that's been their team all season when the game ends.

The whole playoff format is stupid because it allows for this. Should be 8 teams. No byes. P4 champs + top G5 champ. 3 at large. No more than 2 total teams per conference.

If the Big Ten and SEC have become so big they can no longer determine who their legitimate conference champion is, that's too bad. Winner gets in. Perhaps one more. That's it.
8 teams is plenty to determine the champ

Good win for the Boilers all things considered......took control down the stretch with that one exchange of lapses and Loyer's missed front end.....cleaning that up would be good.

83-78, Purdue.

Smitty - 24/10 assists
TKR - 21/8 boards
Heide - 15/3 boards, two blocks
Loyer - 12/7 boards
Colvin - 7 boards

Well done......now Texas A & M in Indianapolis on Saturday......that should be another good one.
