6 point underdogs 

Truly shocked by this. We're bigger underdogs to Iowa than to Illinois? We, in theory, have an answer defensively for Murray(JG, Galloway, Race) and are finally putting everything together.

Iowa is very, very hot right now. Even still, I like this matchup better than either Michigan or Illinois. Also glad to be playing a team that will also be playing their third game in 3 days.

Palm has us in the First Four out...as is Michigan.

If Palm says we’re out… than I’m feeling pretty good about things.

I think a lot of fans have become overconfident about our position.  Lunardi has us as the last team in.  While, I would have us ranked ahead of Xavier, I think it's relatively easy to make an argument we should be behind everyone else currently ahead of us.  

If we lose today, there are 4 additional teams primed to stake a claim to our spot should they win (SMU, Dayton, Virginia Tech, and Oklahoma).  After that, you still have to worry about a team currently further out of the picture in conferences like the SEC and A10 that could grab a spot by winning the conference tournament. 

A win today should seal it unless all sorts of crazy stuff should happen.  But, a loss, especially if it is a big one, and I'm still concerned about where we are at.   

I think you’re right. Several results did not go our way yesterday too that put us in an even more precarious position. A loss today will put us, I think, in a 50/50 position.

Race only played 20 minutes today. I feel like we're going to have to lean on him tomorrow.

BRING ME THE BUM WHO AND WAS TALKING ALL THE SMACK ABOUT XJ

LETS GO

Where’s that bum in here that was talking all that smack about XJ? He’s been our bright lone spot today.

Woodson should get tossed. What’s there to lose?

The only case in which I would want to play in the NIT would be a Tom Crean first two years type of situation. New coach, massive rebuild, young team. 
 

For a team with multiple seniors and guys who have been in the program for 3, 4, or 5 years… the NIT ain’t it.

Xavier up 6 with 45 seconds and blew it.

Xavier looking like their going to lose to Butler in OT.

Outside of the B1G, who should we be rooting against besides bid thieves?

Gard was on DD show today and said that Hepburn practices using the board on that shot all the time

He may practice it…. But there’s zero chance he was trying to do it in game.

Watching the Michigan Iowa game. Just crazy to me. Michigan at home against a ranked opponent while being just barely on the right side of the bubble. And the crowd is basically dead-not even close to full capacity. Their fans don’t deserve the amount of success they have had.

As much as it pains me to say, I think Osterman with the Indy Star got it right when he recently said we are “mediocre”. The potential was present on this team to be really good… but it never materialized consistently and we consistently blew games we should have won(Rutgers, @OSU, @Syracuse, both Wisconsin games). It is what it is.

Which Pudue player was just killed by idiots rushing the court?

🙄

I hate Wisconsin as much as the next guy… but it doesn’t hold a candle to how I feel about Purdue. I’d root for Vladimir Putin against Purdue.

HAHAHAHAHAHAJAHHAJAJAJAHAJAJHAHAJABABABA.

Sorry. Seeing Wisconsin bank back to back shots against Purdue to ruin their championship hopes is…. *chefs kiss*

Oh my goodness…..

HAHAHAHAHAHAJAHHAJAJAJAHAJAJHAHAJABABABA.

I really, really don’t like Sasha Stefanovic. And not in the “I wish we had him” kind of way. He’s so whiny.

Ivey playing poorly.  Purdue looks bad tonight.  But then...they're playing at Wisconsin and we know what that means.  Cheesy calls.

They’ve also benefited from numerous 50/50 calls(2 charges that got called missed, they touched a ball inside the cylinder, etc.).

Not sure I’ve ever rooted so hard for Wisconsin. Purdue’s best team in decades might finish 3rd in the Big Ten.

Michigan State isn’t giving us any help tonight. Go figure.

I personally hope Nebraska stays in the basement(where Rutgers belongs)… but this upset makes me happy
