@StockTalks21 @gwizzy12 I maybe crazy then. I think if they played 10 times Zona would win 10. Just don’t see the path for Purdue I guess. Maybe going nuclear from 3 and limiting possessions similar to what they did against Michigan in BTT.
English
@JohnStephe48652 @gwizzy12 I’m not necessarily disagreeing with you. And I would pick Arizona. I’m just saying, if people don’t think Purdue can win this game, they are crazy
English
BJ’s take pre-Texas was that Vokietaitis would overpower the “soft” Purdue frontcourt
Vokietaitis had 9 and 2 vs. TKR’s 20 and 8 and Cluff’s 11 and 4
Arizona very well may roll, but the idea that there’s NOTHING Purdue can attack in the matchup is disingenuous at best
CBS Sports College Basketball 🏀@CBSSportsCBB
“I looked everywhere, I can’t find any component of the game where Purdue is better than Arizona in this matchup.” @itsbjtaylor says Purdue has NO advantage over Arizona 😳

@itsAntWright This guy is the Bonnie Blue of basketball.

Ohio State needs a guard
Joe Tipton@JoeTipton
NEWS: Vanderbilt guard Frankie Collins will enter the @TransferPortal, he told @On3. The 6-1 senior will need a medical hardship waiver to play his sixth season of college basketball. Averaged 7.8 points, 4.2 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 2.4 steals per game. on3.com/college/vander…
English
@StockTalks21 @gwizzy12 I mean what part of the game can they attack? I don’t see one position where Purdue has a sizable advantage in this game. Arizona can matchup stylistically with everything Purdue wants to do. If Renn can’t bully ball they’re cooked imo. Arizona by 10+.
English
@gwizzy12 - Overall offense and 3 point shooting
- Better on assisting and less turnovers
- And Purdue is 2nd in the country in opponent rebounding trailing only MSU.
Not sure how many people know that last stat. I think people just don’t look at data.
English
@itsAntWright Idk how Purdue fans could complain about their draw. They got a 1 seed draw imo playing Queens, Miami, and Texas. At some point you have to beat a juggernaut in this tourney. I’d be thankful you didn’t have too until the elite eight.
English
When that happened to Illinois in 2024 vs UConn everyone laughed while Purdue got 11 seed NC State in the Final Four
It’s the tourney.. luck of the draw and matchups is part of the madness
Boiler Fan Talk@BoilerFanTalk
So Purdue gets to play a super team to make the final 4, and Illinois gets Iowa…
English
@PStoneLover @beerball3r I do give him credit for that. I just believe it’s going to be almost impossible to continue to do that in this environment. Unless they pass a law and get this circus under control. We shall see.
English
@JohnStephe48652 @beerball3r That's not the only factor that makes him a better coach; it just shows his ability to develop players and consistently be a contender without using a resource most other coaches exploit. Have to give him credit, no matter what team you support.
English
@beerball3r @nass_9 That was what 26 years ago? Has zero relevance to what’s going on now. If Izzo doesn’t take advantage of the portal he’s an idiot. That’s the game now. He’s a good coach, he might hang on for a few seasons. At some point he will have to play the same game.
English
@nass_9 @JohnStephe48652 It’s the last natty the Big 10 has seen. So yeah.
English
@DarkoStateNews Interesting….winning causes so much envy and I love every minute of it.
English
I got everything right.
I get everything right.
Dusty May is tampering his ass off, and he’s the one other B1G coaches are referring to when they talk about it.
Sorry to always be the bearer of bad news.
G@SravanGNews
@DPHBuckeyes Ok, Spiro and his friends need some serious help. They got Sherrone right and now they think they should just attack dusty and Blake and everyone associated with the university. Wouldn’t be surprised if they tried to dig up dirt on a janitor at this point
English
@Paintspainter I used to play. Unfortunately, the ole tires have too many miles on them at this point. If I were to suit up, it would be Maize and blue. Good luck to ya
English
@JohnStephe48652 Who do you play for again? Haven't heard your name before
English
@Paintspainter Respectfully, I’m pulling for you to win the next two. Can’t think of anything better than humiliating you in front of your own fans. Ok?
English
@JohnStephe48652 Hey John, respectfully idgaf. You win the games you are given. Ok?
English
Crazy to think we could have a final four that includes four Big Ten teams. Not likely, but possible.
Illinois vs Michigan State
Michigan vs Purdue
Ratings would be off the charts and Indianapolis would be fucking chaos!
English
@StockTalks21 I think if they were playing any other team than Houston, we may have a bit more buzz. They did fizzle a bit at the end of the season, but they never lost their final four potential imo. If they beat Houston I think they’re final four bound.
English
Maybe it’s just me.
But I feel like the buzz on Illinois got rather quiet to end the season.
And even now, it doesn’t feel like a lot of folks are talking about them.
Right where they want to be…?
English
@anthonytbroome Just wish we could get more from our two guard spot. Not to say Burnet and Gayle haven’t been good, but feel like that is our weakest position on the team.
English
Guard plays wins in March, and Michigan is getting what it needs from its facilitator, Elliot Cadeau.
“He’s a savant with what he’s doing, and he probably doesn’t even realize all the things that he’s doing because he’s so intelligent."

@homies47 I mean they do have nine sweet 16 appearances since 2013. A few big ten titles in that span along with 3 btt titles. Let’s not forget the two national title game appearance’s in that span as well. Michigan may not be a top five job but it’s not far from it.
English
I think it’s hilarious how good Michigan fans think their basketball program is.
Thinking Dusty is staying is beyond laughable 😂😂😂
English
@itsAntWright I remember his game against Michigan in the tourney. Dude had such a smooth jumper.
English
Thank god Michigan landed this dude!
College Hoops Database@CollegeHoopsTIk
The starting five for Florida Atlantic University’s Final Four team: G: Johnell Davis (13.8 ppg) G: Alijah Martin (13.4 ppg) G: Nick Boyd (8.9 ppg) G: Bryan Greenlee (7.3 ppg) C: Vlad Goldin (10.2 ppg) Coach: Dusty May
English
@ChelsElaina Izzo is this way towards anyone who beats him. He’s a bitch. Bitches act this way. It is what it is.
English
There’s something off about Dusty May..
It seems none of the Big Ten coaches really respect him. Mentions Beilein and nothing about Dusty.
What is it?
Kay Adams@heykayadams
Tom Izzo wants another shot at Michigan. Natty. Handshake. Bad blood. Reverence. BAD BLOOD. 🤣 @MSU_Basketball @UpAndAdamsShow
English
@JohnRichTV Idk about that. Purdue had the game in control with 5-6 minutes to go up 9-11. Pretty common Vegas was all over the spread. Purdue was able to hit free throws down the stretch to ensure a cover.
