Purdue is probably gonna go to a Final 4 in consecutive years. Painter has had no trouble with Rick Barnes the past few years. I'd give them the edge over UT in Indy.

Houston is cold from outside and Loyer is having the half of his life. I swear to God if they pull off the upset..

That is nuts.

There is no way he still has a year of eligibility. He was an Archie target...

Hey at least they no longer show Mark Sears' mom pretend to shoot free throws while her son is at the stripe during Alabama games. Thay made me all kinds of irrationally angry.

Man I hope we get Conwell because I'm already daydreaming about the offensive firepower of him, Mullins, and DeVries. Mullins seems like a 5-10% chance of happening though.

Wasn't he rumored to be getting like 70% of ND's NIL budget? If true I'm not sure we'd be matching that. Plus I'm sure he's getting the keys to the offense on day 1.

Wasn't Swope at USI 2 years ago? Seems like quite the jump to go from playing at that level to competing in the B1G. Hard to believe he'd come aboard willing to play <10 mpg when he could get a lot more time somewhere else.

I definitely don't wish ill of him. But I don't have to wish him success either.

Really hope there's something going on here. How great would it be to steal one from Hurley.

Braden Smith approaching his last days with Purdue? I can see someone throwing a bag at him, interesting replies here. https://x.com/TreyKnowsBall/status/1903575742828409327?t=oua04k3nniacuOLDRymTMQ&s=19

The Mgbako rumor was probably the most egregious, plus I don't think it was just a rumor.

If he comes to IU as part of the coaching staff I think that would prove he doesn't hate IU as much as being alleged.

Can't wait for the moment when Eric Gordon comes back to Assembly Hall to catch a game, so he and Chester Frazier can finally shake hands properly.

Probably the least memorable Day 1 of the tournament I can remember. Not many close games at all. Hopefully tomorrow is a bit more entertaining. Still not taking today for granted considering it was taken from us in 2020.
