Purdue has been to the Elite 8 5 times. IU has won 5 Championships. Purdue always flames out early. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForHumanity Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 The biggest problem with the NCAA selection committee. They put too much emphases on conference championships. They need to be done away with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billingsley99 Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 Growing up Selection Sunday was a holiday for me and I tried to pass that on to my kids. . My 2 oldest kids are 28 and 24 and for them I treated it the same way. We used to love to have our brackets ready to fill out and had so much anticipation of seeing how far West they were sending our Hoosiers. Its been a long time since we have done that just because IU is irrelevant in college basketball when it comes tournament time. I hate it so much. Instead of yesterday being a holiday I spent 10 hours painting the living room and hall ways of our house. Only looked to see if ISU made it and nothing else until today when i filled out a bracket. I miss the days of the excitement of Indiana basketball and being a homer and picking IU to win it every year. I have resigned to living the GLORY DAYS. Sucks to be an IU fan. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The internet has allowed losers to become professionals at things that used to be daily life. You do realize that out of two of the godfathers of modern sports analytics, one is an IU alum and lived in B-town quite a while after graduating (Jeff Sagarin), and the other was an IU professor for 25+ years (Wayne Winston)? 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zlinedavid Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 If Purdue is going to make a run, I really hope it’s this year. Am I subject to public floggings if I say I kind of hope they do? I swear I’m not making the following up…..I’m….ummmm….kind of dating a Purdue cheerleader. No, not former…current. Yeah, I wouldn’t believe me either, but that’s a whole separate topic. 🤣 IU wasn’t worth a damn since December anyway and if they’re ever going to make a run….might as well be her senior year. I’m going to go hide now before I see torches and pitchforks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is just one of those things that available information has evolved out of being. Rather than waiting by the TV and trying to frantically write down every matchup, you can just print out a full bracket at 6:30. Not saying it’s good or bad, it just is.

Maedhros Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 Finally filling out brackets, and it's amazing how poor a job this committee did. The East has three teams I would have picked for the Final Four, all of them ranked in the top 5 on Torvik. Meanwhile Purdue gets an injured and down Kansas, Rick Barnes, and a Creighton team that lost four of its last five, getting blasted by Cincinnati. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on when you might get Rick Barnes. 2nd round or S16, not such a good matchup. E8….well, Rick isn’t known for doing well in E8 games.

13th&Jackson Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 Watching the first game of the first four. I like some of these stories. Wagner leading Howard by 11 at half. They’ve played the last two months with only 7 healthy players, but finished 16-15 and won the NEC tournament. Three players played all 20 minutes in first half. But they’re in foul trouble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
