Crazy that in the last 10 tournaments, Purdue has made the S16 seven times, the E8 twice (so far), the FF once (so far), and the NC game once (so far). 

That's not bad for a program that has a reputation for underachieving in March.

Yup, good basketball teams are really all I'd ever hope for.  Texas isn't a basketball school and the fans just don't care about it nearly as much as they do about football.  That's the way it is and the way it will always be.  Nobody here "expects" championships although Texas fans would obviously be pleased if it ever happened.


It’s funny, philosophically. I am a big believer in being grateful for just consistently having good teams.

And then they reach certain moments in fail in certain ways, and I would like to put my fist through a wall.

Iowa up 2 on Florida at the half despite shooting 9 percent from three. They outrebounded Florida in the first half, just as we all predicted.

I laughed at McCollum calling him sensitive in the halftime interview

Florida is a .500 (or less) team in the B1G.

Michigan, Wisconsin, Purdue, Illinois, Nebraska and Michigan State would wipe the floor with that team, and Ohio State and UCLA would give them trouble too.
hah, even Iowa!

Iowa was .500 in conference

The B1G started 0-2 in this tournament but hasn't taken a loss since (pending UCLA who is currently leading UCONN). Wow, 7 in the S16 would be amazing and even 6 is really good.
