I for one would love this draw. I think we match well throughout that bracket.

Would anyone fear this draw?

I agree....but we had a great looking actual bracket last year.
Really. Purdue is its worst enemy.... Fear..the D and focus on ball security. Improve there and we can beat anyone. BUT will that improve? So far I have not seen it.
I would like that bracket, but doubt it happens. There are teams that have strengths that give Purdue problems that are referenced as poor matchups and there are just very good teams that are match-up problems. When a team is comparible in quality of play, but very different approaches or "strengths" it is important that Purdue make that "matchup" difference an advantage for Purdue due to that teams weaknesses. Matchup problems just mean that the other teams strength is your teams weakness and so you have to "flip" that assuming the whistle allows...
No, that was two years ago...last year it was Iowa St. IU defeated Kentucky last year in the round of 32.
Having cut my teeth on Butler basketball and wishing them well. I "think" it would take a "certain" whistle for Butler to beat Purdue and would be surprised with Purdue getting beat...although I really like that baldwin kid.
I wish every year Purdue didn't play them in teh Crossroads that the home and home was rotated every two years and they play at least once a year...same with ND
In that bracket I prefer the 6 seed than if Purdue was the 5 seed. That said, Purdue just needs to not beat themselves and decide as a team they are going to get the job done this year!
I've always thought the 3/6 line isn't a bad place for a "darkhorse" run....
Purdue was a #6 in 2000; however, Purdue was also a #3 in 2011. I still think Purdue is in the 3-6 seed box/window right now. The 4/5 line means likely facing the top-seed in the Regionals....but this year.......maybe not, you never know. Of course, things can always change. The next two weeks will be interesting, and as of right now, the only ranked team Purdue is scheduled to face is Maryland.
