Good deal. Purdue was not the better team

 

[madguy30]

I guess I'm talking about guys like Barnes and Izzo and Pearl and Oats and Calipari and Scheyer. You know, really successful coaches.

They're all very good and most of them have had some tremendous flops in the tournament along the way. Imo it's important to remember that.

Didn't Pearl just get beat in the first round last season? I'd guess they'd all say it comes down to matchups, how your team is playing and some luck this time of year.

That was a Johnny Orr inbounds play

Had way too much money on Houston for that game to end at midnight.

Most predictable elite 8 ever. 1 vs 2 , 1 vs 2, 1 vs 2 , and 1 vs 3. NIL money has killed the Cinderellas.

It's amazing how many times players forget the inbounder.

Sampson. Elite.

Most predictable elite 8 ever. 1 vs 2 , 1 vs 2, 1 vs 2 , and 1 vs 3. NIL money has killed the Cinderellas.

I think transfer rules have more to do with it than NIL, but it's one year. There was an 11 seed in the final four last year.
