Sparty on!  (sorry Rico)  Good to see Purdon't looking at a 3rd place conference finish in their big year!  I don't see us beating OSU anyway, but if it means helping the Smellermakers out, I'm good with losing that one.

I think there’s a decent chance there’s a 3-way tie for first.

No way man. Any outside shot we have at an at-large bid requires winning that. 

I understand that it's extremely unlikely but I can't punt on that chance just because I don't want PU to win the conference title.

Looking at the teams remaining schedules I don't see Purdue losing. They have Wisconsin, Penn State, Illinois and Minnesota. Penn State is the only team I see with a remote chance. 

Michigan state really only has osu left, which I am not sure they will win. OSU handled them once and I could see them doing it again.

Osu has at Michigan, at msu and at the hall remaining. No way they win out in that stretch. Could very well drop all 3 games.

I think the msu/OSU game will decide the big ten, but it may hand it to the boilers.

They play at Penn State, not at MSU.

Agree, I want IU to finish the season as successfully as possible and with as much momentum as possible going into the offseason, I couldn’t care less what that means for Purdue. Of course I don’t want Purdue making a Final Four or anything, but even if us beating OSU meant Purdue won the conference outright, I’ll be cheering my face off for us to beat OSU. I just don’t care enough about Purdue for it to make me want IU to lose a game.

like at large NCAA bid?  seriously?  i'd agree if that were the case.  just can't see how that is realistic.

How did we “choke” against MSU? They were favored. 

Lol, the national darling, top 5 ranked, “best Purdue team ever” couldn’t beat either of the only other good teams in the conference.  You can rationalize all you want, but that is a choke job.  Will be nothing compared to the tournament choke though.

Not the best Purdue team ever lol. And no, it’s not a choke job. You must be confused on what that means. Losing at MSU while underdogs is not choking. If we had a 10 point lead with 4 to go and blew it? Sure. But that didn’t happen.
