Was King leaving a good thing? Seems as if this team is better connected now.

By all means rest up on Saturday for a long B1G tourney run.
Ya know when I saw how the bracket would be, as of now---I 'd actually take that. Vs Nebraska....then possibly Iowa and Illinois to get to the semi's. I'd take that path.
It appears he may have been a locker room cancer.
Don’t know for sure and don’t care at this point. Play for a ship on Saturday.
I'm glad dude is gone. He lit us up for 24...
Should be a terrific game Saturday.
Yea we better play better than we did this week. Congrats on the win.
Same with IU. Better play better than they did tonight. I think IU is in, regardless. But a win certainly wraps up a bid.
Huge game tonight for both (20-9) OSU and (20-9) ILL to keep momentum and improve seeding headed to B1G tourney and March Madness. 18,800 sell out. Should be a brutal B1G battle.

A loss for Illinois takes us out of title contention. A win essentially ensures the fourth bye. Will be a tough game. Will be our 11th top 40 NET road game, the most in the nation, and an opportunity to win our 5th of that category, also the most in the nation.

Ahh ha ha okay, hotshot.
Well, how about we let Iowa win the Big Ten next year in football or basketball (including wins over Wisconsin) and we'll see how cool you are with that ride.
Because if you have a problem with it at any point, EvilMonkey with the triggered foot is gonna see how far he can shove it up your ass........#nttawwt.
No word but high ankle sprain most think he’s out at least another game. But officially no word.
Bold prediction Purdue is going get in the NCAA tournament and not play in the first four. Its crazy to me how few of brackets they are in.
Think they need to win their last home game and probably at least one in the BTT if not two. The Delphi bracket guys, who are pretty good, said (prior to the Iowa win) they needed to get to the BTT Championship. Now things have changed a bit, obviously. Beat Rutgers and maybe Michigan, they could be in.
IMO, if we beat Rutgers and lose the first game in B1G tourney, odds are 25% at best. If we win the next two and then lose, odds are 75%, and it would be 100% with three wins.
There's something poetic about a tiny school in rural Indiana whose mascot is the Oracles becoming nationally known for predictions.
IDK I honestly think its way better than 50% if you beat Rutgers and win the first rd BTT game. Net is in the low 30s and thered be a ton of good wins. Yeah the losses would be historic but its hard to compare historically because the net is new.
For some reason I thought they had 2 regular season games left.
Here is a nice chart that shows where some people are at currently in a mix of brackets. A poster on our board put this together.
If the NCAA still used RPI this league would be viewed very differently. A league that is as "home team dominant" as the B1G this year gets hammered by the old RPI. Thank goodness for NET. We might have three (!) teams in as "locks" right now.
NET-->RPI
MSU 7 --> 25
OSU 15 --> 37
Md 17 --> 13
Mich 24 --> 50
Wisc 27 --> 29
PSU 30 --> 51
RU 32 --> 52
Purdue 33 --> 76
Iowa 35 --> 49
Illini 36 --> 48
Minn 45 --> 110
Indiana 54 --> 55
NW 175 --> 232
Neb 195 --> 250

Man. Those guys are seriously awesome. Love their work. Glad to see them start to get some recognition.
not me you are responding to.
but I am responding to the point between Iowa and Wisconsin. like me and so many other the games between them is considered the main rivalries,
both series are close. in FB both play close to the same type style good ol hard nosed FB. only in BB are they different in style.
it has nothing to do with hate or envy.
What a big time game played by Phinisee last night. Very much needed from him.
checked Joe's bracket and he show's Iowa with a green arrow moving up.
as for the NET don't know if I want to Sick or RollLaugh
Iowa beat OSU and didn't move, then they beat PSU and didn't move. then they lose to Purdue and drop 6 spots.
they are worse than the RPI. as the way the rate teams makes no sense. beat 2 quad 1 teams and don't move then lose to quad 1/2 team and they drop. ??????
BPI no change were #26 still #26
Kenpom #24 still #24.

It depends on the other teams you've played. Those teams are also playing games. It's not based on your single game.
I'm close to you.
I'd go:
Rutgers/BTT/BTT/BTT/BTT
Win/lose - 40%
Win/win/lose - 75%
Win/win/win/lose - 95%
Lose/win/lose - 10%
Lose/win/win/lose - 50%
Lose/win/win/win/lose - 75%
Imo:
Rutgers/BTT/BTT/BTT/BTT
Win/lose - 5%
Win/win/lose - 40%
Win/win/win/lose - 75%
Lose/win/lose - 0%
Lose/win/win/lose - 10%
Lose/win/win/win/lose - 20%
There is almost no possible way you get an at large with 16 losses or finishing 17-15.
Agreed. I missed the second half because I was flying back home. But I saw the highlights and talked to my buddy who said we played pretty well in the second half. Hoping we can continue to play tough down the stretch.
I'll add that to your other predictions from your previous screen name.
Georgia received an at-large bid in 2001 with a record of 16-14. That is the worst winning percentage for an at-large team in NCAA history. Purdue is currently 16-14.
The biggest difference between Purdue and the '01 UGA team, is the record for Quad 1 games. Purdue is 4-11 in those games. If I use the RPI system to delineate UGA's games into quads, then they would have had a record of 7-11 in quad 1 games.
Purdue isn't quite there yet. I think Purdue needs to win a minimum of 2 more games, ideally 2 Quad 1 matchups. If the B1G ended today, they would face Ohio State in the second round of the 7/10 game. Maryland would be waiting for the winner. PU needs to beat Rutgers and Ohio State, at the bare minimum. Wins over Rutgers, Ohio State, and Maryland would probably push Purdue over onto the safe side of the bubble.

You putting that close to every other Purdue fan who thought Wheeler was gonna be a player this year? Let's not act like everyone here have had bad predictions here...
Yeah, I think this is correct. I'm still convinced Purdue will need to get to Saturday to feel good about their chances. Anything less will depend on the bubble not shrinking due to bid thieves or another high-major making a conference tourney run.
Yeah but I'm pretty sure NCTrojan is the only one whose predictions were so bad he had to change his screen name.
