I'd be suprised if Boynton is the coach at OSU before this tourney is over.

Several sources on X are reporting he'll be back next year. I don't get it. 7 seasons, made one tournament only because of one all world recruit in Cade Cunningham. Worst season this year out of the seven. What a bust of a hire. Ok State just doesn't care anymore about basketball.
That's like their football team every single year.

They have the potential there to do a lot more than they've been doing, and if they're happy with the results, I am happy that they are happy.
So why are they ranked #1 in every metric and both polls?
My guess is because Purdue's 3 losses are worse than Houston, but Purdue has much better wins in their non-conf.
They beat Gonzaga, Marquette, Tennessee, Alabama, and Arizona in the non-conference. Houston or Uconns non-conference is severely behind Purdue so Purdue should be the #1 overall seed.
No way I pick Purdue past the second round. B1G is a weak conference. Look at Iowa with Lurch a few years ago, how far did they get?
The Big 10 sucks overall but I wouldn't be shocked to see them make a run like Virginia the year after they lost to a 16 seed.
That Iowa team didn't play defense, Purdue has the 18th best adjusted defense. I'll probably pick Uconn or Houston in my brackets but wouldn't surprise me if Purdue finally won it. Their guards are alot better this year and they'll be playing with a chip on their shoulders.
Apparently none of the metrics or voters care about anything you just rattled off. Purdue will lose to an 8/9 seed.
His brother is a well respected assistant. I actually think that if he hired the right staff he could be pretty successful. Not Eddie Sutton successful but consistent tournament team successful.
GT/Notre Dame turned out to be pretty fun. GT was down 17 (I think, it was a lot) and took the lead with a few minutes left. Back and forth after that and GT turned it over with a few seconds left and a chance to win it. Neither team is in any sort of post season contention but it was fun to watch.

Cincinnati playing like they look past this game. Easy to do when you just smoked them 92-56 a few days ago.
I do not believe there is really a bad job in the Big12. Get the right coach and you’ll get plenty of support from that fan base. Sell recruits that they can play in the best league in the country and see what happens. Not something another P6 coach will sign up for, but it’s certainly an opportunity for a young and upcoming coach to consider. And with the transfer portal the way it is, you can rebuild a team pretty quickly.
