Meh.....I dunnio. If Purdue is hitting 3's, they can certainly win. If not? Man---could be a long day. Purdue just doesn't have the equalizer in the paint to offset a bad shooting night. That ain't good vs a team like UT.
BIG f'ing 10

Oh Iowa......Iowa Iowa Iowa. We could have had something special.
How nervous were you as Tennessee choked away a 25 point lead?
Williams walked before kicking it out for the first overtime 3 ball. Easy call right in front of the ref. He must have been on the payroll
Good enough to beat a 10 seed lmao
Congrats
Michigan would fvck your world up, I don't give a shit about Iowa
It is much better to win a close game. It makes it hurt that much more for the other team.
It seems you are always thinking about something to eat.
Much better to win a close game after blowing a 25 point lead than to win comfortably and possibly rest your starters? Lol
Grant Williams is the SEC Zion when it comes to fouling. That dude could have played twenty more minutes with 3 fouls and would have never been called for another one.

Much better to keep the players engaged so they don't think all Big 10 teams are this bad.
I mean...maybe? But "spank" them? No. Purdue is gonna have to hit 3's. At least 10 or more. And they can certainly do that. BUT....Purdue's issue is, they dont have a guy they can throw the ball into, a he score on his own. Maybe Williams? Haarms is more of a garbage guy, i.e. offensive rebounds, etc, etc..He really hasn't shown the abiltit much to score on his own. I think it will be a hell of a game.
Lol the best team in the SEC struggled to close out the maybe 6th best B1G team. Yikes
bye bye hawkeyes.... once again you guys get to try and live vicariously through Michigan and Michigan state.........
Yeppers.....MSU, IU, Illinois, OSU, Wisconsin and Michigan. They have been in 13 FF's since 1999. Four times sent two teams to the FF. And have had 6 teams play in 8 title games.
I always get a tickle out of people pumping their conference once they’re out of the tourney.
No one was rooting harder against Tennessee than me. Indifferent to auburn/LSU until they’re playing duke or UNC

When talking about how good a conference is, are we talking about the depth of a conference....or winning a title? Villanova won the title 2 of the past 3 seasons---You think the Big East was/is the best conference those years? You think UK winning a title in 2012 made the SEC that year, the best conference? You think when UCLA won 400 straight titles, it made the AAWU or the Pac-8 the best confrerence?
IMO, when judging how good a conference is, you need to look at how many teams they are putting in year in and year out...How far are these teams advancing? Like this year...SEC was talked about as an improved conference. And well, they have shown exactly that. UK, Auburn, LSU and UT all in the SW 16. Ole Miss and Miss State looked bad. Florida played well. Go to the Big 10....Three teams in the SW 16. But damn....they are this close to having 5 in; MD losing to Lsu by 2, and Iowa losing in OT to UT. Ohio State has a chacne tonight.
Anyways......Titles doesn't really tell the story. Unless of course you have 3 or 4 teams thats winning titles, going to FF's, etc, etc...That isn't happening in any conference. Now look at the next tier, so to speak. How often is your conference putting teams in the Elite 8, FF or the title game? Big 12 has ONE title game appearance---Kansas. Texas, OU and WVU have made a FF since 2000. And that's it. Only repeat offender is Kansas. SEC has UK and Florida...With LSU and South Carolina making surprise runs. Florida and UK have won titles. No one else has reached a title game. Then the ACC..UNC, Duke and UL; Maryland too. Though they are the Big 10's problem now. Then there is GaTech and Syracuse(Not 2003 though---Big East then). Strong resume there.
Then the Big 10....Only one title(MSU in 2000). BUT....they have had 6 DIFFERENT teams play for the title(IU, MSU, UM, Illinois, Wisky and OSU). I mean that is damn near half the conference. Have placed a team in 13 of the past 19 FF's.. Just haven't been able to close the deal.
IMO, when discussing how good a conference is, you have to look further than just hat of a team(s) winning a title. Winning the title doesn't mean you played in the best conference. Just means you were the best team for 6 games.
It took bad officiating to even give Iowa a chance. Go back to your corn field.
