TheWatShot Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 I filled mine out as quickly as I could and tried not to think about any of the games. But one I actually did stop and think about was Villanova-Winthrop. Wishing I had that one back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU will hopefully be owning you guys again soon. But I did have PU going to the E8 in my bracket. Honestly a really messed up year. This may be the most mad March madness ever.

mrflynn03 Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 @Stlboiler23 Your guys were on the cusp and next year may have a legit FF4 team. This year may be the wildest tournament we will experience because of China virus Read an article today that all the bubble teams were close by just in case a tournament team was diagnosed with the coof.

They have zero seniors. Show me something other than an opinion piece that proves Purdue statistically is significantly younger than then the vast majority of teams. IU has one senior and plays a kid who should be in high school...along with 3 other true freshman and three sophomores. By your definition Race qualifies as a sophomore (so make thet 4) because he was hurt almost all of his sophomore season so if you don’t play it doesn’t count. That leaves us with only Rob and Al as upperclassmen. Cute excuse for underperforming in a tournament down the road from your campus to a program who’s never won a tournament game, but I’m not buying it. The only reason Purdue made the tournament is because they had the easiest schedule imaginable. Perhaps Purdue simply isn’t nearly as good as you think they are.

My daughter was 6 when Florida Gulf Coast made their run and she picked them because she like Florida Of course, we all had a good laugh before the tournament, but she ended up getting the last laugh. She did take them too far though, She had them going to the title game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s currently a better player than Romeo at the end of his freshman year. IMO not even close to Romeo, but he is used 100x more effectively than Romeo was.

I do think our schedule was beneficial but Purdue absolutely overachieved this year. As others on here have said, Purdue was the 3rd youngest team in the tournament. Why you continue to argue against that fact is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
