Luke Goode just entered ON3 says 100 percent.

we really gonna do the trite fact thing?

IU never lost to a 16 seed, so there's one fact.
IU was a 1 seed only 3 times, Purdue has been a 1 seed 5 times. Started to seed the tournament in 1979, 16 seeds appeared in 1985.
 
Ballo could not stop Loyer (27) or Smith (26) last December!
Let's see how he does without big Zach! Your world changed immensely after the championship game, and I think Boilers think "we have Paint and it's just going to keep rolling!". I like Painter and give him tons of credit, but I think this is going to be a "figure it out" year and you're going to look and play very different. Bringing in some good pieces and have some talent, but losing Edey is bigger than what you're adding. If he can get and keep you guys in the top 25 all year, I think he'll have done another great job. (and yes, I know you're going to start there and will likely stay there through the precon... the final testament to how great Edey was: He's impacting things when he's not even on the roster!).
