That was a generous gift

I guess the ncaa isn’t taking into account recent play like they used to.

 

[icewind7]

if we were lucky, we will face Houston. However, they have lot of tattoo players. =(

Nope "last 10 games" hasn't been used in a very long time.

It's like they look at the entire body of work from the whole season or something....

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

How long?

since 2008/09

 

[Wolegib]

They gave Auburn the #1 overall seed despite their late season collapse. And winning the Big10 championship did nothing for michigan

I guess now we know why painter takes those early season games so seriously!

CBS listed Purdue # 14 in the top 4 in each region graphic. Wow, did they get love this year or what?

Purdue is becoming a “name” program— not a blue blood to be sure, but it now means something to play us…

It’s time for Purdue to live up to our new status, and take charge this coming weekend!

That is actually insane. No ome can complain about disrespect thats for sure

Well people are realizing that Purdue is just always good. Finally getting national love that we deserve. No way we should be a 4 seed but I will take the gift.

 

[BBG]

High Point looks like a very high scoring team.. now sure you have to take in to account who it was against, but can't assume anything. WE can't have a cold shooting half and hope to climb out of it...

But also kudos to CMP and the team for still being able to get a 4 seed on a rebuilding/reloading season.

Speaking of disrespect........How many years has Seth Davis picked us to get beat in first game/weekend?

(almost) all of them?

 

[Dryfly88]

No, He had us in championship game last year. He was a huge PU guy last year.

But you're right he normally isn't a fan

Anyone else think both the Purdue presence on the B1G Network and Robbie Hummel becoming the next top play by play analyst, has greatly assisted in the respect Purdue hoops now gets?

Kenpom Purdue 19th High Point 84th no one gave Purdue a 4 seed it was earned all season long.

I mean he was right 2/3 seasons, let's hope we make it 2/4.

I don’t think so.

This is prob why

Well 19th would be a five seed.

And 10 straight years of making the tourney.

Hopefully getting out of B1G play will give us a new energy. I sure hope we figure some things out defensively this week.

Wow! That's pretty incredible. A testament to just how good the past 10 years have been. It doesn't feel as good over the last 10 games, but the program is in a historically good spot (NIL and portal notwithstanding).

He had us in the finals last year

My God. Never seen a program with the talent and resources (fan base, alumni dollars, tradition) at its disposal as High Point be a lower seed. This is probably the worst outcome a Purdue type program could ever encounter.

 

[GemstateBoiler]

5 seed would be a gift. 4 seed ahead of Michigan is a weird miracle.

Lol. My UM neighbors and colleagues are sooooo salty. Delicious Wolverine tears...mmmm.

Hey, so what seed did the Hoosiers get? Just asking for a friend. 😂

Just sitting this one out again. Only the 7th time in 9 years. No worries though. They won the offseason for the 30th straight season.

Good thing there was no tournament in 2020...

 

[Chi-Boiler]

They haven't in 12-15 years. It's well-documented.

 

[Dryfly88]

A lot of people are comparing UM and PU and unhappy with the 4 and 5 seeds. It's important to remember the committee is looking at complete body of work. Not head to head or recent games. It's whole body.

PU is ahead of Michigan in:

NET ranking
KenPom
SOS

I'm not saying I wouldn't be pissed if I was a Michigan fan. But there are reasons we got a 4 and they got a 5.

CHI follows this a lot closer than I do, so maybe he can add more context.

Yeah, I second that. What?

I don't have a link. I have my knowledge of how the tournament works. I'm sure you can find one though.

I like to say I know more about the NCAA Tournament than anything in my life. And that includes my kids.
