Come on, don't let this get out of hand. We're just being done in by 3s right now. We can win this.

I'm happy today regardless. The only thing that will make me upset and really deflated is if we have a comfortable lead all game, play really well for 35 minutes, but falter down the stretch and lose to a team we should have beaten. Thrilled we got here though. No matter what now, there is momentum going into next season for the first time in a long time.

Yeah, I also want the committee to feel dumb for giving them an 11 seed, higher than us. I'm not bitter though.

Words cannot express how much I want to see Michigan get buried. Their coach punched a guy.

With a healthy Geronimo, we'd have beaten Iowa.

These refs. Nothing more can be said. If they can review the call earlier and reverse a foul against Race, why can't they do that for the one called on Galloway?

Wow Trayce got away with a walk there. Makes up for countless flops tonight.

Good Lord. Just when we're about to put a fork in them.

So what is Race supposed to do there?

What in the world is going on with this lineup? Man this is frustrating, it feels like we should be up by 10 right now.

This. I'm definitely not a conference homer type of guy. The closest I would get to rooting for the B1G was Michigan when Beilein was there. Or in certain situations, like 2016 Wisconsin vs the 38-0 UK team. I enjoy early exits for most of our conference in hopes that will cause the conference front office to do something about the officiating.

Would the potential matchup with St. Mary's be on Thursday or Friday? I can't find tip times anywhere.

Honestly I won't have Purdue in the Sweet 16. They got a tough draw imo, I wouldn't be too thrilled with their road if i was them.

Yeah, someone in the NCAA doesn't like IU or want us to be good. Time to start looking into who is on the committee haha. Is that loser Iowa AD on it?

Wyoming will be a tough out, especially having to go out to Portland, but I agree. Our road isn't all that bad.

Good lord. We're one of the last 2 teams in? So weak.

UM is an 11?! Not liking this so far.

The committee is always just so unpredictable. Maybe it's because they truly do look at the entire body of work, whereas us fan have tunnel vision slanted towards the last week of games.

He's probably gone, but we're going to have really good momentum going into next season now. That can be a huge factor into these decisions. If his performance in the BTT and NCAAT plays himself into the first round of mock drafts, he might take a chance and bolt though. Still, I believe we are 1 or 2 pieces away from being a top 4 B1G team next year if he and Race return.

Anyone find themselves rooting for Purdue today? I wouldn't be upset if they lost, but man after yesterday's episode of Fran wandering over to our bench I can't help but hope Iowa gets smacked down. I seriously can't let that go, that was so obnoxious of a coach to do that. I respect Painter 10x more than Fran McCaffery.

I hope we're not out west, but Alabama doesn't scare me at all. That one's a toss-up imo. Texas Tech, however, is our team on steroids. Not great offensively, but incredibly stingy on defense due to being very long and physical. I'd much prefer the majority of teams in our region to be the high-scoring variety rather than elite defensively.

I can't remember the last time I was this bummed after a loss. Really wanted this win today. Proud of the guys for how they fought these past few days with so much on the line. Also, f**k Fran Mccaffery, what in the world was that? Looked like a guy waltzing over to the other teams bench because he thinks he swings a bigger stick than he actually does.

I've read this 4 times and I still don't know what it means.

I already hate Jon Scheyer. Just looks like the type of guy who wakes up on third thinking he hit a triple. Rant over.

This thread is more fun now. Seriously so great to be daydreaming about seeding scenarios again. I'd have to think an appearance in the title game would bump us up to a 10 at least.
