Been telling people they were overrated for months. They just play in a crappy conference. Tell me you start an Asian and three white guards and I’ll pass on you every time
Purdue is overrated a bit but this is a stupid post for many reasons. Edey averages like 22 pts 13 rebounds and over 2 blocks a game while shooting 63% from the field and 75% from the FT line.

Let me guess you don’t see color. Caleb Grill, Curtis Stinson look the same to you?
Is this real life right now?
You think Gonzaga is elite this year? You think Iowa started three white guards in 2014? You think Purdue isn’t massively overrated? Where am I wrong?


Oh wait I’m right on all counts per usual

I assume he meant the year Iowa got dunked on all over by Oregon. They started Bohannon, Connor, and Frederick that year.

No Gonzaga isn't as Elite as they normally are, but they are easily a top 4 seed.

Purdue has 4 losses the entire season, I dont know how you can call them overrated. They are hitting a rough stretch right now but they aren't good enough to just run over the rest of the Big 10. I think they have an Elite 8 ceiling and wouldn't be surprised if they lose in the 2nd round or Sweet 16, they don't play good enough defense to win it all.

Anyways, watch Ohio state beat Iowa tonight.

Iowa will win that one.

I think Iowa is better than it seems when you consider their general porous defense but also not as good as it seems to many of their fans.....so like about the last 30 years or so.

No I meant 2013 Iowa the year they lost to Baylor in the NIT. Do you lack reading comprehension skills?

Iowas key since Aaron White has been creating motion offense and getting to the line. Their team thrives off of opponents fouling.

Anybody know anything about Foster at SMU?

I was watching some of that game and didn't see him on the bench and it shows he's only played 25 minutes all year.

No idea. May go down as the biggest bust to come from the state.

BYU is getting blown out at home by Santa Clara. They usually are a respectable basketball program; surprised to see them down this year.

I feel like they are constant underachieving in that league though. They should easily get a tourney bid with Gonzaga and St. Mary's every year but they rarely make it.

yeah and WVU is 'in' the tourney on almost every bracket...but TT wins this, they'll have identical records and TT is nowhere near 'in' according to most but they have a way better resume than WVU. Weird.
Will be interesting to see if the can both get at least 6 Big12 wins before the conf tourney. They should both at least be on the bubble.

How crazy are could it be if OU won the conf tourney and each of these two snuck into the right side of the bubble down the stretch?
