couldn’t imagine a worse opening round for the SEC. Also can’t wait to only hear about how the big 12 has under performed on the national shows tomorrow morning.

Johnny Football in town.

I bet it's just a lot to handle hanging out with him.

If he played today, no rules were broken. The NCAA is lame.

Purdue is losing next round. If they didn’t have automatic points in edey they would be cooked

 

[Peter]

Purdue is bad at basketball.

 

[madguy30]

If he played today, no rules were broken. The NCAA is lame.

And he'd have played the same amount of years as back then. I guess I don't know what you're saying.

Human highlight reel, but too much of himself to do much else.

 

[jsb]

They aren't going to lose, but Purdue is letting Grambling hang around. You'd think they'd be better.

 

[madguy30]

If Grambling hangs around for the whole game does that help ISU's SOS?

 

[stormchaser2014]

Nebraska is shucked.

 

[madguy30]

This will be up to Purdue's guards continuing to hit.

Grambling is following the FDU formula.

 

[Peter]

If you foul eddy it’s basically a turnover for Purdue.

 

[madguy30]

Am I imagining or is scoring way higher on the whole this year?

We go 6 years without a team scoring 100 points and we are probably going to have 3 score 100 within a few hours of each other.

Mountain west teams not named San Diego State are 1-13 in the tourney since 2019

If TCU (and Houston) win, that will be 6 teams in Round of 32. The record is 7.

And that 1 win is in the First Four.

Yup

 

[CloniesForLife]

Current games are blah but the night slate could be pretty good

It bothers me that those count as "tournament wins".
