Indy at a minimum host an NCAA round every other year. last time we played a tournament game in Indy it was played at a place called the RCA dome. Purdue Uk UofL have played there several times each in the NCAA tournament. I'm sick of this shit.
Purdue and Kentucky in Indianapolis
- Thread starter kurt cloverdales
- Start date
Houston gets a de facto road game as the #1 seed. Have to travel further than all the other teams.
Kentucky will have 30k there Purdue about 10, huge advantage that we are never able to take advantage of
KY and TN will dominate the crowd. Hope they close Kilroys to keep the riff raff out.
TN really dominated the crowd last year in Detroit… kidding, it was 80% Purdue.
Houston's athleticism will be too much for PU to handle. Loyer disappears in these types of games. He's too big a liability on both ends.
Houston is way too physical at every position. Purdue will need big games from the supporting cast.
Sampson UK Purdue let's go Tennessee by default.
Who do we root for-or against-in this game? I'm pretty well over Sampson, as that was 18 years and 4 coaches ago, so I'll pull for Houston.
High Point and McNeese St should have them battle tested, the breaks those bastards get, Houston's team probably will all come down with the flu Friday morning.
What breaks did Purdue get? They played the two teams that won. The media darlings. A year after playing a chalk bracket to get to the final 4. Unless you are implying that the best teams don’t always win in the tournament.
Don't really care...but I can't envision any scenario where Purdue beats this Houston team. Smith seems to prove everyone wrong, regularly, but he still hasn't ever beaten a team with guys like Cryer, Sharp, and Uzon...when it actually matters. Even when he had Edey with him. Tennessee last year in the tournament is about as close as it comes. But that was literally a dump it down to Edey game, the entire game.
they played high point and McNeese st to get to a sweet 16 after being over seeded, get to play a home game against Houston, they caught a lot of breaks
God loves Indiana because He disciplines those He loves.
That is one bear hug of love over the last 30 years
Make extremely difficult path to S16
Run to IU board. Glad you didn't slip in the cupcake frosting.
There are several. Kilroys is the primary IU bar though, others are overflow.
Looking at other Regions... their first two games were easier, for sure. But having to play Houston, then either Tennessee or Kentucky...is NOT a very good draw for Purdue. All 3 of those teams are the prototypical problem team for Purdue.
Do they have opossum at Kilroy’s? Have to have opossum on game night.
No, although given KY, TN and Pu will be there...opossum would be a favorite.
Oh well. Just have to keep my eyes open on I-65 on the way. It’s better tartare anyway.
no one had an easier 1st 2 games, a sweet 16 yes you should have to face a quality opponent, no way in hell Purdue should have been a 3 and Michigan a 5.
well for starters, holding on to a 4 seed was quite a gift. Then facing not one but 2 double digit seeds, and then landing in their back yard for the S16 game while the #1 seed has to be 1000 miles from home. But aside from all that, yeah pretty much the same path as all other remaining teams.
Thanks for keeping the roadkill off of the highways.
Hopefully the Indy sets up a website where roadkills can be posted. With KY, TN and PU there, the roads should be clean for a few days.
Its very likely Houston comes in to Purdue's back yard and slaps their family around and eats all their barbeque. And there won't be a damn thing they'll be able to do about it.
Why shouldn’t they have had a 4 seed? They had a really good resume. It was better than Michigans, which is why Michigan was a 5. Also shows how worthless the big ten tournament is. It should be cancelled.
They played a double digit seed (what happens when you are a top 7 seed) and then played a top 32 team that beat their 5 seed. Purdue can’t help it Clemson sucks.
