Week of 3/11/24 Games (Conference Tournaments)

[KingAG]

Purdue lost anyway lmfaoo

 

[87Xfer]

That's a shame.

 

[runner11]

Is this going to make Purdoo’s first weekend exit less sweet?

 

[KingAG]

That bounce was KARMA

 

[alphasigko]

Purdue goes down! #1 Overall Seed is our's for the taking!

 

[ninety-nine]

Thank you, karma.

Note: as I was posting this, I had a sudden popup attack from one of those Norton Anti-Virus one-twos that feels like spyware trying to infect one's computer.

 

[aceboon]

Good, glad Wisconsin was able to overcome that whistle and get the dub. Purdue fans should know what's coming in the next week or two...

 

[auror]

That was an obvious offensive foul.

Obvious offensive fouls don't always get called with 25 seconds left when it's not directly influencing the game (Smith backed up and wasn't pressing forward).

 

[KingAG]

Purdue goes down! #1 Overall Seed is our's for the taking!

Not according to Lunardi. He moved us to the 3 #1 without losing

 

[alexd]

Clingan is Baryshnikov out there compared to Edey. Just an oaf.

 

[HuskyHoosier]

Purdue goes down! #1 Overall Seed is our's for the taking!

not sure I think we need UH to lose too, no?

 

[superjohn]

Purdue hasn't looked too good for a while. They're screwed in the dance.

 

[ec33]

Now to see if Yale can avoid the collapse.

 

[KingAG]

Purdue didn’t make 1 field goal in OT

 

[Tenspro2002]

Wow, Wisconsin pulled it out. Purdue had no idea what to do when they needed a bucket and couldn't just work a foul call.

That takes Purdue out of the running for #1 overall.

If Houston loses we have a shot at it.

 

[Ha Who]

If Houston wins and we do its 1,2 Purdue 3?

 

[mauconnfan]

Purdue just puked on themselves. Wisconsin had 3 guys fouled out still were allowed to score fairly easily Hepburn got to the hoop when he wanted. That’s too bad!

 

[navery12]

I am well aware of that @navery12. I was saying they missed the not one but two calls when they happened. And what resulted was Edey throwing the ball away because his motion was altered by the two fouls.

It altered the end of the game. It is a big problem when the end of a game is altered by bad refereeing, but we see it far too often these days.

That was my point, and I stand by it.

Well the previous 39 minutes also matter so I'm not gonna feel sorry and act like the refs screwed over Purdue

 

[alphasigko]

not sure I think we need UH to lose too, no?

Yes, maybe so... ISU owes them one

 

[ninety-nine]

Realistically, it's Houston's to lose right now, and I have no complaint about that the way they've been playing. We need to win tonight and have them come up short in order to sneak into the overall 1.

 

[gsmooth]

Uh oh. Yale is blowing their Big lead

18 point lead down to 6

 

[Tenspro2002]

Yeah, Houston would get it if they win.

They'd be #1 in NET, KenPom, and the polls, and have the most impressive wins lately.

If they lose and we win, we should get #1 overall, especially with the games being Saturday night and not Sunday afternoon, but with this Committee who knows.

 

[ec33]

Realistically, it's Houston's to lose right now, and I have no complaint about that the way they've been playing. We need to win tonight and have them come up short in order to sneak into the overall 1.

My complaint is their best OOC wins are Dayton and Stetson.

After they get screwed tomorrow, I hope the Big East conference announces publicly that they are going to adopt MWC and Big 12 to fool the ignorant selection committee.

And thanks to those who have checked in:

I wasn't able to make it to NYC today since I'm with my mom at the ER after some heart discomfort close to her defibrillator. Suffered a heart attack 2 months ago and getting tests now, but so far, they're just seeing how to best adjust her care moving forward. Should be able to make it to NYC tomorrow!
