I think Purdue may be a little bit better than most want to believe.

Recent history requires not believing in them or insanity.

If we had the Hampton loss twice in three years and the other year we lost to Hampton in the 3rd round I would expect zero people to believe in ISU as well.

Grambling state gave them a better game

Yeah...the beginning of his statement was "of course every Big 12 team rigged the season on purpose".

The end of his statement touched on reality of "well if you play the #1 conference schedule, maybe you don't need to play the #1 non conf schedule and maybe ENTIRE SOS is what actually matters". You know, objective reality.

And how many national championship contenders did Clemson and Brad schedule in their non-conf.?

I swear this Purdue-Utah State game has been going for 5 hours.

I quit watching the game Purdue game at halftime and made some homemade banana bread.

Anyone have a guess what time our game will tip on Thursday?

I'd guess late since UCONN is there and will be the early/favorable time slot game.

When I chose Iowa State, my final 3 schools were Iowa State, Mizzou and Purdue. I am so glad I chose Iowa State over those schools.

Is Tracy Wolfson even 5 feet tall? It's funny watching her hold the mike over her head to interview these guys.

Whoa. Mine were Iowa State, Illinois, and Purdue. I'm so glad my life went down the right path.

Well, Edwards shouldn't have been there to be pushed around by Filipowski (sp?).

Not sure there’s an easier to hate team than Duke.

I don't know that I've ever seen more contact in a game than this Duke/JMU game. Duke started it and wasn't getting called so JMU returning the favor.

Well, the first game today was fun.

Duke on fire early from 3. Was hoping to have a good game here.

Yeah, so stupid they don't have two games on at a time all afternoon/evening rather than 5 hours of hoping a single game is decent and then filing the night so people can't watch some games. Some of us use multiple screens to get around it, but I would have to think overall their viewership would be better if they staggered the games better.
