What are the odds?

Every single game so far in this tournament, the team with the odd number seed has won.  The only exception was the IU / Rutgers game which had two even number seeds playing.

Final four teams playing are the 1, 3, 5, and 7 seeds.

rooting for the underdog in a tourney is always fun, but if the 7 seed wins the tourney and gets the invite...

how about matching up with their old dance partner OSU a 4th time?

I thought Rutgers over whoever they played on Wednesday was 14 over 11.

Yup.  You're right.  I saw the graphic on the BTN Big Show and they excluded the Wednesday games.

Iowa beat Illinois also, which was another even seed win.

Still, the 1, 3, 5, & 7 finals is still kinda interesting / weird odds.

All of the early rounds of the mid majors being available streaming online is heaven.

MSU's lack of perimeter options is owefully apparent during Langford's extended slump.

He had a good game on Senior Day against Illinois, but otherwise over his last 5 games, he's averaging about 5.5 ppg on 35ish% shooting
And UM overplayed Winston, and gave Langford open looks all afternoon, and dared him to shoot them out of that strategy.  1-8 from the floor later, I'd say he didn't do that.
That game was frighteningly similar to the first one.  UM coming out storming ot start the 2nd half, MSU mounting a couple a spurts to get it to within one possession, but never over the top.  UM pulling away late.

Purdue sloppy to start. Penn State failing to take advantage.

If MSU donates $40 to charity...

I think we both know the answer is no.
If you could overturn every postseason faceplant with a donation, Keady and Painter would have bankrupted Purdue years ago

PSU showing they are a very average team. How did they beat OSU all three times???

Maybe OSU is also very average and played lights against the top 2 teams in the conference?

Sometimes teams are just matchup nightmares.

Ehh, per KenPom, PSU is No. 30, OSU is 16. It's a little weird, but not necessarily a sign of much.
