If the season ending rankings came out today, would Purdue be a top 16 team?

[Woodsa]

I'm curious where you would rank Purdue right now (pre-Houston game)?

I assume the final rankings would be based on the body of work before and during the tournament, but could not see Purdue going higher than top 15 or making the top 8.

Right now, I feel #9 - #11 feels right to me. Beat Houston tomorrow and things change a bit.

IF Purdue were to get past HOU, would you want to face KY or TN (again) in the next game?

 

[proudopete]

I was going to go 12 as well.

For Woodsa: Tennessee of course.

Kentucky for sure , we’ve had Tennessee’s number but they are the better team by far

Lost big tomorrow? 16
Close loss? Bump it closer to 12
Pull off the upset? Bump it to 9-10

 

[Wolegib]

I’d say 12-15. I would trade Michigan’s and Maryland. I’m not that impressed with Maryland and Michigan came on strong at the end of the year.

Dont care really. It’d be awesome if we get to the E8. We are already playing with house money IMO. And if we get to the e8, we can def win vs either. Gotta still play really well or we will get ran off the floor, but we are capable

Let's hope we fare better than BYU.

Ouch! 25 pt loss!

Not a good night for underdogs so far

These teams went for the defense optional bracket, although BYU has been weak against the 3pt FG all year - Alabama made them pay big time, tournament record 25-51 from deep....Sears with 10 of them. Getting Nelson back really helps them too.

Gators ate the turtles alive on the glass.....all night.

If only Arkansas had made their last minute free throws, the game would never had gone into overtime! It’s Deja vu all over again, but instead of us, it was Arkansas
