Purdue has no chance of getting to the E8. Doesn't matter whether they play Michigan State or Kansas. The S16 is Purdue's ceiling

I've got a bad feeling about next week. Gregg Doyel picked Purdue to reach the Final 4, and when I saw it my first thought was "yeah right," but when I thought about it, suddenly it didn't seem so far-fetched. When you get as many lucky breaks as they have this year, anything can happen.

It won't happen. Purdue doesn't go to the FF man. Keep the faith!

Kansas is going to eat Purdue alive

What makes you so sure of this? Purdue is a fantastic team with the best player in the country hands down. Time in and time out they always find a way to win the close ones and ride Biggie to the end. I don't think Purdue will beat Kansas but they will give them a game and I wouldn't be surprised if Purdue pulled the upset...I mean we beat Kansas this year so why can't they? I said before the tournament started if Purdue gets in any region except UNC or Kansas they make the Final 4.

We beat Kansas because they took us lightly and didn't scout us well. It's no secret how to beat Purdue and Kansas has the talent to do it. Despite winning the Big Ten Purdue doesn't have a really impressive win  At Maryland is probably the best win they have

We beat Kansas because we played better on that day.

I would argue this Michigan vs. Louisville game features IU's 3 worst showings of the season between the Louisville struggle in Indy, the blowout we took in Ann Arbor and most importantly the no show home game vs Michigan (this was pretty much when the Crean firing talk really heated up from a smoldering house fire to a full blown out of control wild fire). Of these three games, I attended all besides the Ann Arbor blowout but the other 2 were definitely the 2 worst games I attended in person this year (I went to all Big Ten home games along with UNC, both games in Indy and the games at Fort Wayne and Northwestern)
