Purdue v. IU in the tourney since 1980

[mushroomgod_1]

Got interested in the stat that Purdue had lost to 17 higher seeds in the tourney, #1 among all schools, so took a look at that v. IU's record.

Looks like seeding started in 1979. Since then Purdue has lost 17 times to higher seeds, and won 11 times against lower seeds. But IU isn't better. We are 8-14.

Purdue does have the worst losses, for the most part:

1. Purdue. 12 seeds---#3 v. #15 St Peter's 2022
2. Purdue. 9 seeds---#4 v. #13 North Texas 2021
3. IU. 9 seeds---#4 v. #13 Richmond 1988
4. IU. 9 seeds---#4 v. #13 Kent St. 2001
5. Purdue. 8 seeds---#2 v. #10 Texas 1990
6. Purdue. 8 seeds---#3 v. #11 VCU 2011
7. Purdue, 7 seeds---#1 v. #8 Georgia 1998
8. Purdue 7 seeds---#5 v. #12 Ark. L.R. 2016

Interesting, over the same years there haven't been many huge upsets by Purdue or IU, at least based on seeding. The biggest was Purdue at #10 seed beating #2 Miami in 1999. IU's biggest was only 4 seeds---#5 IU over #1 Duke in 2002.

Now....I went through this pretty quick so there could be a mistake here or there................

This looks about right from the Purdue side. This is interesting though. Thanks for putting this together!

#3 IU vs #14 Cleveland State

Thanks.....looks like I also missed '83, when #2 IU lost to #3 UK.

That makes us 8-16 since 1980 v. 11-17 for Purdue.

More importantly, we won three titles to zero for PU.
