How are their losses bad? They’ve lost to OSU, MSU, Tennessee, and the worst was WKU who isn’t even a bad team. They have zero bad losses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Rationalize? Saying it wasn’t a choke isn’t rationalizing. I’m bummed we lost but it’s not a choke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. If we get to 18-12 and 11-7 in the conference our computer numbers should be top 50ish heading into BTT. We need to probably get a couple more wins against top 50 teams there, but it could happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoagieRoll Posted February 11, 2018 Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 There's a damn good chance I pick PU to lose their second game in the tourney. And there's a damn good chance I'll be right. Just to compare, I went back and looked at our last perennial top 5 team...they were 7-2 against ranked teams, with all those wins against top 15 squads. The B1G is just so much weaker right now so PU has less chances to impress, but man do they look beatable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virginia had one year they made it to the elite 8 but other than that, they’ve had early tournaments exits. They’ve had good regular seasons but haven’t had great tournament success.

What the hell does that have to do with this year? Are we not talking about who is dominant this year. Second part now. So what? Their second loss came in OT to their rival in mid-February by one point. What recent dominant team has such a better case for being dominant besides UK in 2012?

The field will be wide open in the tournament. Their loss today was worse than either of Purdue’s this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotIThatLives Posted February 11, 2018 Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 I'll say it. College basketball is garbage this year. Scandals, horrible refereeing, thin on talent, horrible refereeing (just watched a video of a Louisiana tech player being ejected for dunking and glancing at his opponent, stoppage of time to review everything in the last 2 mins, teams like Purdue, Xavier, Texas tech, Auburn, Cincinnati in the top ten. This season is garbage. Did I mention horrible refereeing? (TV Ted) Will there be an NCAA basketball renaissance or is this the new future?

I don't think any of the three are bad losses, but UVA has a much better resume than PU. Of course any team can win it, but I wouldn't call it wide open. Nova and UVA have been the two best teams all year and have the two best resumes. Of course any team can lose, that's always the case. What year are you pointing to that is so different?

NotIThatLives Posted February 11, 2018 Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 I still want Purdue to be the first 1 seed to lose to a 16, therefore I want them to win out or win enough to get a 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
