OT!! - IU STINKS!!!!

So far Creighton didn't get the memo up 11....but it's early. Up 10 @ half,....first time all year KU down at half. Not sure Creighton can continue to make shots in H2 the way they have so far......??

I am glad to be wrong ..but big 12 showing they are overrated.

And how bad is the ACC? Down 11 games to 1 to the SEC!

Well the SEC might be pretty good this year.
Maybe the best??

So far in this early season, that looks to be true!

The Big Ten is not bad at all, 6 teams in the top 25, 11 receiving votes. Big Ten is gaining on the Big 12 for the second best rated conference. ESPN BPI has IU and Northwestern tied at 0.4% chance of winning Conference, with 12 teams having better odds than IU. So NO, IU doesn't have a shot, closer to Not a chance!

This. Big ten has second highest rpi (second to SEC). Significant drop off then to B12 and then ACC. We have all exceeded expectations especially wisconsin, Michigan, and Illinois.

And the two that lost are both Top 4 teams.

He gone. Not sure he makes it to New Year’s.

It’s easier to do than it used to be—Woodson got his four year chance, Sisley committed to IU despite Woodson, not because of him, and with the portal rebuilding is so much easier (like Louisville and Michigan have done).

and so did iu

If it weren't for Hepburn, we'd be going for our fourth straight B1G title this year.

I think also if Harper doesn’t hit that half court shot and Purdue wins…Purdue would have shared…we lost that year by 1 game right?

Maybe, maybe not.....you'd have to assume the whole conference season then would play out the same way, but yes - Purdue finished 3rd @ 14-6 to regular season co-champs Illinois (whom Purdue beat twice) and Wisconsin (who beat Purdue twice) (15-5). Certainly, the game in Madison would have made a difference. That Purdue team was talented (top ten all season and #1 for one week) but IIRC, other than the game @ Michigan, all the conference losses were the result of either getting outplayed in the last few minutes or key Boiler mistakes or both (@ Rutgers, @ Indiana, Wisconsin (2), @ Michigan State). They were almost always trailing in the conference standings.

Was that Michigan game the one where it was like our 4th or 5th one in 8 days cuz Michigan had covid or was that the previous year?

It was - original game in January was postponed. Purdue had slipped to 4-3, won six straight, then lost @ Michigan. Then they won four straight to get to 14-4......then finished with losses @ Michigan State and @ Wisconsin.
