Upset Alert - Down Goes Perdue (merged)

[prankster]

Should be unanimous #1 now, but a clown or two will still vote Purdue.

But....their "body of work"!

 

[Waquoit]

If you think it affects the mojo... That's why I didn't watch. But OT? They came back to tie then lost to the crappy team on OT? That's not #1 worthy.

 

[NJHusky]

Any chance Houston jumps Purdue? They won big yesterday

 

[HitDog]

I'm 99.9% sure Parrish will have UConn #1 tomorrow.

He did it!

 

[navery12]

Is there any chance that if we got overall #1 seed they'd move us to West region?

No. Why would they do that?

 

[auror]

Out of curiosity, what team has the most wins in the country?

Grand Canyon, James Madison... and us.

 

[BGesus4]

The Parrish hates UConn crowd really makes us look like Neanderthals. His argument for why they were ahead of us made sense and was in fact reinforced by the selection committee yesterday. He’ll absolutely have us #1 tomorrow.

 

[Waquoit]

Time for all of the Purdue fans to take their resumes, roll them up and [REDACTED].

 

[CL82]

Purdue really hasn't looked good the last three weeks. The Big 10 isn't good.

Looking forward to my Purdue buddy attempting to justify the loss by talking about how competitive the big 10 is.

He already texted me before the end of the game to say that a loss today would be a positive since the team needs a " wake up call" before the postseason.

 

[CL82]

Out of curiosity, what team has the most wins in the country?

I believe it would be the same one who has the best quad I winning percentage.

 

[Leebo]

Will this affect their Kenpom or NET?

Purdue took about a full point hit to their adjusted efficiency margin on Kenpom, so we went from having a super narrow lead to a healthy one.

 

[UCTitleTown]

I'm 99.9% sure Parrish will have UConn #1 tomorrow.

He'll find a way to say Houston is #1.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

Lol this is proof that the ncaa keeps disrespecting UConn! Even when we are the best team in the country they find a way to disrespect us !!!!!!!

It doesn't matter. As long as we do what we do we will be fine.

 

[JungleLobo]

Grand Canyon, James Madison... and us.

Well, that’s not very special.

Better win away at Creighton then.

 

[Letsgohuskies11]

No. Why would they do that?

No idea just didn't know if the overall #1 seed basically has to play in the west

Not a Purdue fan butt

He called arguments that we are #1 "pointless". I don't like his dismissiveness, so, yes, I will continue to hate on him.

 

[Leebo]

Not a Purdue fan butt

Why does he still only have 2 losses for Purdue in Q1 and on the road. I mean, I guess if you ignore today's game, yes, it's still Purdue.

The everybody hates UConn thing is outdated. Calhoun pissed some of the talking heads off because he didn't play the game and some of them didn't mind kicking UConn when they were down in the later Ollie years when we were stuck in the AAC but these guys like Hurley and they're amazed by what he's done.

 

[auror]

#1 overall seed now?

Thank you. We're defending champs, ranked #1 and bathing in praise. The conspiracy theories sound silly outside the UConn bubble. Just enjoy it, I know I am.

People criticize Uconn for not beating anybody noteworthy, but they already have. Yes, Purdue does have more quality wins, but that also have some bad losses now too (e.g. Ohio State).
1.) North Carolina. 87-76. They're very good, just not as good as us. Top 10 team.
2.) Marquette. 81-53 blowout. They are also vrry good. Top 5 team.
3.) Gonzaga is good. 76-63. Not "very good". But they are still good. They beat a decent Kentucky Wildcat team on the road (yes, Calipari is getting booed lately by Cats fans, but remember Wilcats they just beat Auburn this week on the Road). Therefore, the Zags do have potential to get back into the top 25 if they win on the road against Mount St. Mary's and San Francisco.
4.) Can Uconn beat Creighton and Marquette again....on the road for rematch. We'll see, but I'm confident if they play like are now...they'll win one or both of those games.
5.) Seton Hall kicked our butt earlier this year...but they are a good underrated (albeit, inconsistent) bubble team. We'll should be able to beat them in our rematch.
6.) The Big East tournament is also ripe with opportunities to beat top Big East teams again too, even win that tourney.

Our other loss is Kansas. We nearly beat a very good team in one the most intimidating college basketball arenas in the country.

No, #1 overall seed would just get their preference for region which would be East for us

 

[Tenspro2002]

Will this affect their Kenpom or NET?

It surely won't help. We had already surged ahead of them by a hair, and now it looks like there's a little more separation.

 

[Horatio]

I could really care less about Purdue. Houston scares the hell out of me.
