FSU ended the game on an 8-0 run. Purdue didn’t score a point the last 3:41 of the game. is it bad that makes me happy?

I don’t understand why some are doubting Archie after less than 1.5 years at the helm. Did we think all of our bad habits would magically be fixed? It takes time to get players that play his way and to ‘unlearn’ old ways of playing that were not very productive. Expectation should be to make the tournament. This year. No more. I feel confident we will achieve that goal.

Assuming all holds, rankings will be Bama, Clemson, ND, Oklahoma/Georgia, then OSU. Unless. IMO, as long as 3 of the following win out, they will be left out: Clemson, ND, Oklahoma, Georgia, NW

Assuming we win all the cupcakes, wouldn’t that make us 9-2, though? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I pay little attention to rankings but I understand your reasoning on how it did ‘hurt’ us. Just commenting on the ‘ranking’ remaining basically the same as some on here called this a ‘bad loss’. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Ugh—hate this and home I’m wrong: Purdue 30 Indiana 20 Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

I realize they mean essentially nothing, but Marquette win/Arkansas loss basically as wash this week as we are still the second team out side of rankings in ‘others receiving votes’ in AP poll. Not sure how many votes we had last year (if it really matters), but was interested to see how loss affected the overall perception of the team/early season Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Similar to how VMI only shot 5 foul shots on 12 called fouls against UK while the Cats shot 35 foul shots on 26 called fouls against VMI. Can’t stand when the home team gets the calls Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

IU takes their aggression out from today’s loss... Indiana 96 UT Arlington 50 Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Good post. We battled back down 10. We were short-handed. Arkansas might not be as talented as we are, but hopefully they have a productive season. Good learning experience for our younger team. Not sure what Ark was in Kenpom before the game but they are 53rd currently. Hardly a bad loss. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

gamecast says flagrant on DD....what happened? Was it?

looks like we will be down another starter with 2 quick ones on Juwan. Unable to watch, so not sure what happened.

Would love to see WKU get an at-large bid. Living near Bowling Green, KY, it’s a fun atmosphere, especially the last couple of seasons. They’ve got some decent non-con games (Washington (L), WVU (W), UCF tomorrow, @ Arkansas, St Mary’s and Wiscy at home). If they can get some of those and do well in C-USA, they definitely will vie for an at-large. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

If you’re calling them overrated then the win gets diminished SOME. Maybe not a lot, and only time will Tell how much, but it has to devalue it some.. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I’m just glad there’s a very little chance of them getting in. Even if they beat Michigan next week and advance to the BIG championship, beating NW won’t be enough to surpass Bama (win or lose, they’re in), Clemson (barring a freak game, should be in), Notre Dame (should be in unless USC plays out of their ***) and Georgia (if they beat Bama)/Big12 winner.

More than likely, it’s about tv ratings because of the presumed opponent of NW (OSU/Michigan). While I dislike earlier weekend games, it makes sense from a tv ratings standpoint. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Monday: #9 Auburn vs. Xavier #1 Duke vs. San Diego State Chicago State @ East Tennessee State Arizona vs. Iowa State USC vs. Texas Tech #17 Mississippi State vs. Arizona State #3 Gonzaga vs. Illinois Tuesday: UT Arlington @ Indiana Wright State vs. Penn State Santa Clara vs. Minessota Texas A&M vs. Washington Wednesday: Wisconsin vs. Stanford Louisville vs. #5 Tennessee #24 Marquette vs. #2 Kansas Dayton vs. Butler Washington vs. Minnesota Thursday: #11 Michigan State vs. #20 UCLA Friday: UC Davis @ Indiana Saturday: Houston @ BYU Colorado @ Air Force

And they’re without one of their returning guards, Bearden. If/when they get them back, they will be that much deeper. They are a good enough team for an at-large bid—although i doubt they get one. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app
