    CMP B1G COY?

    Painter or Pitino. Winning the B1G by 2 games (3 over Pitino and Minny) should result in CMP winning.

    Purdue/Northwestern overview

    I see Purdue as a 4 or 5 almost regardless. NW might be a 8 or 9 but if they could put together a run, beating PU twice (including BTT) they could jump to a 6 or ? Seems like they have more to play for IMHO plus the fact that they may have never hosted a CBS game before. Doesn't really...

    Purdue/Northwestern overview

    NW needs this game more than we do, playing at home on CBS for the first time since who knows when and has some key players back. I don't feel great about this game. It doesn't help that we haven't played well traditionally at NW even in their crappy years.

    And the Sparties Lose Yet Again!!

    Beating a 6 seed type team at home is not a signature win to me. It's ok, but nothing special. I would probably leave them out as of now but I doubt that happens.

    Our seeding may get a boost...

    This is spot on, but some can't see it. The B1G has been bad, and all credit to Purdue for taking advantage. Kind of like Chuck Pagano and the Colts winning the AFC South his first few years in Indy, except they got a home playoff game for winning a bad division. Unfortunately we don't get a...

    Our seeding may get a boost...

    Yep gotta make the best of every opportunity. At 20th in the RPI, which seems to heavily influence the selection committee, we are squarely a 5 seed (technically on the 5/6 line but no way we are a 6). Blowing the doors off of NW and rolling through the B1G tournament will be our best bet to...

    The outright title is ours

    Cool to have the outright title. That is goal #1. After 12 years, CMP's first outright title is good news! Unfortunately for seeding, this only increases the perceived crappiness of the B1G and lessens further the value of our win over Wisky, once a top 10 ranked team that will now be...

    Worst Big Ten Championship team ever?

    Thanks, so it has been a while. Hopefully we beat NW and do well in the B1G tourney and end up on that 4 line and avoid the dreaded 5 seed. Not that 4 is exciting but it is a chance and as someone posted, has a much higher success rate than 5 seeds.

    Worst Big Ten Championship team ever?

    I think the fact that the best non-conference B1G team is now in the tank hurts. Look at the B1G's best teams and how they did outside of league. Purdue's best effort was a neutral court win over ND (good win but not great), Wisky's best was at home over Cuse? Maryland got a home win over OK...

    Worst Big Ten Championship team ever?

    For league play, who cares, we are the B1G champions, that's all that matters. I'm happy to have another B1G championship and to regain the lead in that category as IU tied us last year. Now for the NCAAT, it matters. Jerry Palm right now is projecting that Purdue will be a 4, Minny a 5 and...

    #16 in the AP

    I think lucky is a big factor. It's not easy to decipher between the 240 and 340 team a few years in advance, especially not when there are several cupcakes that can give you a difficult matchup and potentially beat you if you are trying to get too cute.

    Will the Boilers played pissed off on Tuesday night?

    I think Purdue will win by 30. IU has almost nothing for them, especially away from Gloomington.

    Case for a three seed

    At the end of the day we will see how the selection committee rewards the B1G winner who is ranked in the 15-25 range and has a 1-3 or so (depending on how things finish) record against the top 25 RPI. If we are going to have a 4 or 5 seed, does Painter have what it takes to lead us past his...

    Case for a three seed

    The B1G definitely doesn't deserve high seeds, which is the whole point in my comment "Wisky losing today only solidifies how crappy the B1G is. Us winning it is just as much about lack of good teams as it is anything we did. At least that is the way most of America will look at it". I was...

    Case for a three seed

    No. Wisky losing today only solidifies how crappy the B1G is. Us winning it is just as much about lack of good teams as it is anything we did. At least that is the way most of America will look at it, especially considering our lackluster play lately.
