Can we just win going away? These 2 point games are killing me.
Selection Sunday
- Thread starter TX4GB
- Start date
I have to hope NCAA refs call fouls better than B10 refs. They are more likely to call fouls against Zach than any other refs we have seen in a while. I hope.
Next year. Next year is when we were supposed to get here. We just caught a little faster, better driven bus that we thought we had.
Been watching Purdue BB for more than 70 years. Regardless of what happens going fwrd, thanks guys for a great, exciting and entertaining year. Just win and advance!

Memphis fouls 18.8 times per game.
If the refs call them we will have plenty of opportunities for FTs.

Just saw a stat that Farleigh Dickinson presses more than any team in the country. So could end up with a challenge in very first game.
Maybe that could be a good thing. Survive and lots of practice
Good Omen? - other than Clark Kellogg - everybody taking Duke/Marquette for the EAST Regional Final.
Bragging time!
My mock bracket I posted this morning had:
All 68 teams right
47 at the exact seed
18 off by 1, including 2 that I had flipped 8/9
2 off by 2 (Boise and Tennessee)
1 off by 1 (Arkansas)
Also had the 16 PIGs correct, but in the wrong spot. 3 of the 4 at large PIGs right, but all of the actual PIGs I had as 11s. Just had Pitt as a true 11 instead of NC St.
5 B1Gs correctly seeded, the others off by 1 (NW, MD, PSU).

I like our bracket. Other 8/9 - AUB, ARK, B1G schools, WVU, no thanks. We gonna mash those Memphis St/FAU twerps.
TN lost their best PG and leader, so they a 0. Then we crush Duke again if needed, or even better, UK. Marq is a pip-squeak. We smash them again too, or even easier - KSU.
I really hope we get to play that murdering bunch of SEC trash Ala-scumfuk-bama in the F4. Everyone in the entire country, outside of the ((deep south)) buck-breakers, will be cheering for us. Two polar opposite schools and programs. Trash vs class.
F them all. BOILER UP!

Playing the 5 for Farleigh Dickinson is:
Alnmonor 6'6 219
Emanuel 6'6 196
They also have two 5'9 guards so they might just press 100% of the time because they won't be able to hold up in half court
"Memphis and FAU are both very athletic."
Those are mid-major teams, right? What is it about Purdue that scares away athleticism in recruiting?
If those teams all win they will play a one or two seed in the second round. Same with MSU.
Ultimately, it may have been that Q3 loss @ Minnesota, where they lost a big lead in the last minute. Also a home loss to Nebraska didn't help. 4-7 Q1 not good enough with those.
I think the committee had a preference for teams that actually try to play basketball and not rugby.
I just feel bad for them I don't accept the style of ball but maybe they would have cleaned it up. Own worst enemy that all on the coach
Sorry if I missed it but I love the irony of some of the teams who made it and those that didn’t.
Jaelin Llewelyn left Princeton to play at Michigan. Princeton made the tourney and Michigan didn’t.
Pete Nantz left Northwestern for UNC. Only Northwestern is going to the dance.
Zeb Jackson and Brandon Johns will play in the tourney for VCU and Michigan won’t.
Wish I had a list of all the guards and portal guys we targeted to see how their seasons ended up.

Memphis is not a mid-major team. They beat #1 Houston by 10 on Sunday.
Memphis is not a Power-5 conference team, thats why. The American conference, right?
Groin injury is hard to come back from - might be the first #1 to bow out.
I would think they might hold him out in round 1, but that's it. But I'm no doctor. I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night though.
Houston hasn't updated his status, although he warmed up Sunday. Sampson later said he really wasn't prepared to have him play. Sasser seems to indicate he'll be ready by TH, but I could see them maybe trying to get an extra game off. If it's minor, which it appears to be, it's usually a week-to-week deal......he might be somewhat limited when he does play, or he could aggravate it. A little like a hamstring deal - and the potential sudden change in lateral movement - you just never know.
Maybe they were hedging their bet in the event they lost so the committee wouldn't take away their #1 seed....
