Sorry, I don't accept your version of what Purdue fans said all year. You tend to exaggerate....... and I'm sorry to blow your cover, but you're not objective about Purdue. I'm sure you'll deflect to whatever predictions you made that came true, doesn't mean you're objective.
I'd be happy to say we underperformed if we lost with Haas, will never know.

I’m not objective but I pegged Purdue spot on this year? Weird.

SNU Purdue preseason player projections
-Vince worse with loss of Swanigan/doubt he steps it up since teams will key on him more.

-same with Mathias/bet his shooting percentage goes down with loss of Swanigan

-Haas hasn’t improved since he was a freshman/never played big minutes/SIGNIFICANT downgrade from Swanigan and no back up bigs. Taylor/Haarms? Lulz

-C Edwards was extremely inefficient/will he be able to step up? We shall say but I would bet against it.

But other than that you were pretty spot on/objective.

MICH could absolutely win the whole thing. They look that good. And that really hurts me to say that.

Don’t think I’ve seen an easier cakewalk to a title game before.

Future Gopher with game winning dunk to win the state championship.

All downhill for the kid from here on out.

I think you guys are better this year. Top 40 Offense and top 15 defense. With that defense and Beilein's offensive prowess you could do some damage in the tournament.

ZFG self bump

 

[klize17]

Have done a complete 180 on Wagner...dude is a great dude off the court. Him asking the reporter to repeat her question had me rolling

Doesn’t hurt when you don’t have to face a single top 20 team all the way to the title game. How does that even happen?

 

[MGO1668]

Beilein back the final four u mad @nitewing ?

I didn’t say how or who, I just said they could do damage.


Let me have 1 small victory.

 

[MGO1668]

Also Minnesota sucks

 

[boilerzz]

Congrats Michigan. You have to beat the teams you match up with and they did that.

 

[MGO1668]

I know easiest route ever but at least we did what were supposed to do

 

[jwardelt]

Yup. Didn’t shit the bed. Had the one scare most teams seem to have. Still crazy on the route. Never seen that before.

Well, you know this tourney is not about finding the best team. Sometimes that happens,
but it does find the team that best survives the matchups given to them.

Still a cakewalk.

 

[MGO1668]

Was expecting UNC and Xavier with UVA Waiting in the final four instead we got TAM FSU then play fvcking Loyola Chicag in the final four, who the rest of the country will be cheering for I'm sure.

 

[nitewing]

Beilein back the final four u mad @nitewing ?

why should I be mad? serious question.

I dunno I was fairly drunk when I posted that. Anyway feel free to jump on the Michigan bandwagon

they are part of the BT and every bit of success they have just gives the BT in a down year that much more exposure.

25% of B1G tournament teams made the final four 50% made the sweet 16, 100% made the round of 32

isn't it great. makes the committee look awful foolish by excluding Nebraska [at least] and maybe PSU.

 

[northeastspartan]

Congrats to Michigan!

Doesn't matter how easy your path was....Final Four>getting clowned by an 11 seed in the second round.

Where did you find those “hot takes”? Musta been an IU fan. Hater gonna hate.

 

[MGO1668]

We will gladly hang another final four banner yeah the path was lulz but I’ll take 32 wins plus a tournament champs and final four banner all day. Can’t complain at all

Yeah that’s an amazing season. Congrats.

Nebraska didn't deserve to be in, the conference as a whole was terrible in out of conference games and Nebraska didn't schedule to help themselves. There just weren't enough good wins to go around.

considering who is in and the results. we will never know now will we. you can toss all the stones you want for whatever reason that makes you feel superior. these are the facts.
13-5 in the BT
22-11 overall
they beat Michigan in the regular season 72-52 and Michigan returned the favor in the BTT, all 5 BT losses were on the road.

and most should know by now winning on the road in the BT is not that easy. they also got the 4 seed
ahead of Michigan because of their beating Michigan.

looking at the body of work in the BT should have been good enough to get in vs other teams that did.

 

[jwardelt]

Congrats to Michigan!

What if they get clowned by an 11 seed in the final four?

 

[nitewing]

oh well shit happen to the best of teams.

 

[theetommyt]

What the hell are you talking about? Nothing I said there was insulting to anyone. For the love of Jeebus take some Xanax.


Your emotional intelligence is near 0. Now that is something that makes me superior.

Back to the topic at hand: Nebraska objectively didn't have the resume. They had like one top 50 win. End of story. Subjectively they might have been as good, but I have my doubts there as well.

Here are the facts my little friend: Loyola-Chicago has won as many games in the NCAA Tournament as Iowa did in the BIG

you are the most brain dead poster on here, you said they didn't deserve to be in and all I did was provide the stats that showed they deserved to be in.

now you are getting all butt hurt because I feel about your OPINION being a fact.

All you did was list some cherry picked stats about Nebraska. That's it. Those are the facts. You didn't compare them to other bubble teams. Objectively they didn't have the resume. The B1G was down and had very little depth.

You just ramble on and on like Lavar Ball.

 

[bMORE607]

Nebraskaball sucked.

 

[stakesarehigh]

It's too bad for Nebraska they blew the Kansas game

 

[theetommyt]

It's too bad for Nebraska they blew the Kansas game

Yep they'd probably have been in if they win that game imo.

 

[bMORE607]

Tech started the game with a foul wtf?

Zfg to how good any team is that didn't make it in BC they scheduled like Sisters of the Poor and relied on conference wins to make the Big Boi Tournament.

Nothing pisses this cbb fan off more than big time programs scheduling a bunch of nobos and watering down MY college basketball season.
