Lol. Also..I always like to ask everyone…. Do you root for big ten teams during the tournament? Me personally hope every single one loses their first game. F them all..idc about conference perception. I have some friends that root for every big ten team and even want them to win a natty if we don’t. I could never do that. I root for one big ten team and one big ten team only. I may pick them in my bracket but I am absolutely not cheering for them. I want them all to lose except us. I can never get on board with conference loyalty thing. Sorry. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronkonagurski Posted March 12, 2023 Report Share Posted March 12, 2023 I don't have any universal rule for rooting for or against Big Ten teams in the tournament. I'm not going to pretend to like every Big Ten team and hope good things for them. I'm not going to grant any well wishes to the likes of Purdue, Iowa, Sparty or DUI. Maryland? Not really. Penn State and Northwestern I'd feel okay with rooting for since they are seldom in this position. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure I can handle the social media meltdown if that happened. I never want us to lose. And every loss hurts. But for our seniors and Trayce specifically I’d really like to win a couple and make the sweet 16. Anything can happen then. Hate for them to get bounced by a 13. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgambill Posted March 12, 2023 Report Share Posted March 12, 2023 I’m sure it’s been discussed but am I the only one that thinks Purdue got hosed with that draw. Duke looming in s16 is a tough matchup and Marquette wouldn’t be a great one either although the bottom half is pretty weak. I thought Duke belonged on the 3 line in the bottom of that bracket. Tennessee was a 5 seed easily with their injuries and the way they limped home….but no one wanted a Duke/UK matchup?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SawatchHoosier Posted March 13, 2023 Report Share Posted March 13, 2023 (edited) Was lucky enough in 2002 to see Indiana play Kent State when they hit 15 of 19 3s during the Elite 8 at Rupp Arena. Anyone want to create a GoFund Me to send to me to Albany so I can make that happen again?

Not sure I like that matchup given what went down couple weeks ago. With their 3pt shooters, we dont want IA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
