Purdue Person Vitale actually has a point, and I'm about to head over to the Kentucky boards to see what they think.   Kentucky and Texas A&M split the regular season conference championship.   Kentucky wins the SEC tournament championship over A&M.   Yet, A&M gets the 3 seed and Kentucky a 4?  How does that work?

I'm just more upset with our seed rather than who we have to play, the B1G got no respect at all.   California got a better seed than us, as did Texas A&M.

Is the committee still in Indy?  I'm about to head downtown for a word if so haha

  What.

We should be a 3 if Texas A&M is.

I can't stand bringing in NBA guys to do the analysis.  Charles Barkley doesn't know sh1t.

I'm so excited right now, March is better than Christmas.

This may be one of those cases where it would have been a good idea to withhold information like this until something came out, if at all.   I can't speak for everyone obviously.  While it's great having access to tidbits and rumors like this, it may have been a better idea to not post this, and wait until after the fact (if the transfer happened) and then shared what you were told.  No worries though, doesn't look like any real harm was done, and it's what makes message boards fun.

  Exactly, but I think eventually Robert Johnson's injury was just going to catch up with us at some point.  Friday was that day.

  I was thinking about this team compared to 2012-2013 as well, and I pretty much agree with you.   Our starting 5 (with Robert Johnson) is pretty comparable, but this year's bench is way better.   2012 - 2013 main subs: Will Sheehey, Jeremy Hollowell, Hanner Perea, Derek Elston, Remy Abell   2015 - 2016 main subs: Max B., OG Anunoby, Zeisloft, Morgan. 

If we are a 4, I sure wouldn't want to play Northern Iowa as a projected 13 seed.   I think we end up a 4 though, but holding out hope for a 3.

Regardless of whether or not this has legs, this is the last thing the team needs right now.

  Does any of that footage include Robert Johnson? 

We won the freaking conference outright.   Yesterday's game changed none of that.

Elite 8.   If you asked me (and probably a majority of fans) before the season started whether or not I'd be happy with a B1G championship and an Elite 8 appearance from this team, I would have said yes.   That's a good season.

Love the enthusiasm!   I agree with you, with one caveat - if Robert Johnson is ready to play.  A deep run is contingent upon getting him back.

Is there any chance the committee takes into account Robert Johnson's injury when determining seeds?   It's a stretch I know, but we'll need a little help to get to a #3 seed, and his injury could play a part of that.   They have taken things like coaching changes, injuries, suspensions, etc. into account in the past, so it's not like it's unheard of.

Man when was the last time IU vs PU played out in front of a neutral court inside the state of Indiana?   Could actually be kind of cool.

Why teams don't put a full court press on Purdue to trap them is beyond me.  Their guards just fold under consistent pressure.

  Except if you're like me and if your team loses, you just get pissed off and don't even watch anymore college basketball for a few days haha.

I just have a feeling the B1G is going to do something lame and give Gard the conference coach of the year since Crean won the AP's B1G coach of the year.

Hopefully we had good recruits in the house for this one.   What a day to showcase everything IU has to offer.

So Illinois ends the season with 5 B1G wins, and I didn't notice until now how incredibly easy their schedule was.   They played Iowa, Purdue, Maryland, and Michigan State all only once, and got to face Rutgers/Minnesota 4 times.   How do they only manage 5 conference wins with that schedule?!!?

  Good, I hope the bottom of the conference can pick itself up.  Looking at you, Rutgers/PSU/Minnesota/Northwestern/Nebraska.   There will probably be at least 2 coaching vacancies in the B1G this year, hopefully Rutgers and Illinois can find quality candidates.

  Also read on another board that Malik Williams may be in town.   Man I really want one of these in-state 2017 kids to commit soon to get the ball rolling!
