I would, but I have them there, too. Have them taking out Purdue after Texas Tech.
I have them out in the first round and I have no real explanation why.
They won't make it past UCLA.
No way. Florida is either playing really well or very not good, lol. They are way too big of a risk to have them going far. The further you have them, the bigger chance that you miss a ton of picks
I think I saw a ridiculous stat that says Florida has gone to the Elite 8 7 of the last 8 or 9 years or something crazy like that.
I agree with this on FL, but theoretically if you're going against a large group of brackets, playing it safe will almost certainly hurt you. Gotta pick some against the grain picks.
Mike White seems like a hell of hire so far.Looks like five of the last seven which is still pretty impressive. Pretty sure four of those were with Donovan though. Amazing the kind of impact a coach makes.
All I've heard about on this board is how great Purdue is (from 2 Purdue fans) all year long. If they lose to Florida in the sweet 16 I'm going to be pissed.
Well, they did lose to Georgia,,,,,twice! And they lost at Vandy.Thanks
Because Florida lays an 11 seed play in game team, and an 11 seed play in team has beaten a 6 seed every year since that format started.
BOOM we have a winner! UCLA will beat Florida and Cuse will beat TCU.They won't make it past UCLA.
Purdue and choking in a tournament go together like your asshole and your partners penis. Happens all the time.
They lose to TTU in the 2nd round.
Next question
Just for more humor... Tech only lost 1 home game all year. We are playing rounds 1 and 2 in Dallas, which is only about 4 hours away and has a HUGE alumni base of Red Raiders. TTU fans will pack the house and it will be an unfriendly environment for the Gators.
Our fan base has a reputation for a reason.
There are a couple of head scratchers in there (post-Hummel injury loss to VCU and the painful loss to UALR) but most or the results in the lifetime of today's seniors don't support your assertion. I count 6 wins over higher seeds and 3 losses to lower seeds.

By the way, in that same time frame, IU has beaten a higher seeded team 3 times and lost to a lower seeded team 5 times.

Who types shit when you can copy and paste it from the internet in about 30 seconds?Which is sadder, Purdue's tournament success or the fact that you went to the trouble of typing that out over a simple joke?

Choking? Not really. It's happened, but more often then not they lose to a higher seed. Not going past the Sweet 16, then you have a point, but usually because they just ran into a 1 seed.Purdue and choking in a tournament go together like your asshole and your partners penis. Happens all the time.

Wrong. Other than bignish and some random drive-by posters we are all pretty reserved. We have no control over the media hype.Now you know what its like for non Duke fans every single year.
Great pick.They won't make it past UCLA.
I can see my bracket is going to go well this year.Great pick.
You of all people should know I'm a top.Purdue and choking in a tournament go together like your asshole and your partners penis. Happens all the time.
Wasn't aware that Texas Tech fans had a reputation for anything. Must be a regional reputation.
