IU out

[IUNorth]

Are you referring to the "choking program" the reached title game last season? I can't stand Purdue, but at least they haven't missed the NCAAT 70% of the time in the last decade.

People who live in glass houses...

Yes, I am. And it is...I would think quite obviously so...in reference to the Purdue troll referencing season long resume's as the best way to predict post season success via seeding, versus results later in the season.

I'm Fairly certain IU has never lost to a 17 seed... as an example.

As a fan, I'd kill for Purdue's résumé the last 10 years (or more). I know that includes FDU and a few other 1st Round blunders, but Boiler fans have left smiling after games far more than IU fans.

But I agree with you about trolling ... anyone who posts on a rival's board needs to get a life.

Don't go much further back than 10 years...IU's results were as good or better if you start 10 years back and prior.

But for sure...last 10 years... 4 B10 regular season titles, 1 BTT championship, 3 sweet 16s, 1 elite 8, 1 Natty game. So decent to good to great tourney runs half the time, basically... good teams every year. Its admirable...especially compared to what IU has done.

But, on the flip side of that... UALR first round loss, North Texas first round loss, St Peters loss, Fairly Dickinson loss... that's a lifetime's worth of really big choke jobs, in just a decade's worth of time.

So...I wouldn't "kill" for those results. Kansas 10-20 year run through last year... I might consider offing someone to get that for IU. But what Purdue did had a pretty ugly downside to it.

Purdue has never lost to a 17-seed, at least according to the NCAA. They only recognize 1-16. Purdue has never been part of the play-in group, IU recently has been.

As I posted, a while ago it was posted here citing RMK's losses to double-digit seeds was surprising large. I had forgotten that was true. You may point out that IU has not lost to a 16, which is true. However, the difference between losing to a 14 or 15 vs. a 16 seems to me to be a distinction without a significant difference. And I really doubt that it was a significant difference to the fans of the losing teams in those respective games.

UNC in because they chaired the selection, only reason. ACC sucks. How do they and Texas make it???

But but but, he was not in the room. lol

Many analysts have cited HPU as one of the best choices to pick if you are looking for a mid-major to pull an upset in the first round. Given that fact, your post claiming a fantastic draw for Purdue is somewhat silly. But given your history is hardly surprising.

Celebrate a good draw and more importantly to Purdue fans...IU snubbed. Run to IU board

Glad to see the downgrade of draw from "fantastic" to "good." Given the projections made over the last 2-3 weeks, the best adjective is likely "expected." Actually, I saw IU as borderline but would get the nod so I was moderately surprised by the outcome. I believe non-con strength flipped the coin the wrong way.

Get amazing draw in NCAA… run to IU board sobbing for recognition multiple times a day
