Wichita State lost to Marshall? Yikes, not a good look for the coach we were supposed to hire.

I keep reading the top comment as a sarcastic jab at the fans who wanted Gregg Marshall... lol

When have I ever been sarcastic?

Hate seeing Haas go down like that. I wanted them to lose but not like this. Hopefully, he makes a full recovery and goes on to do big thing. Hopefully pu bows out quickly too.

I think it is more from my end, since I never wanted Marshall and thought it was nuts anyone wanted him as the coach here.

As much as I hate Purdue, I respected Haas, it does suck to see him go out.I also wish they lost at full strength so PU fans can't say "We would've won with Haas."

It's douchey, but I won't pretend to be upset about Haas going down. Hope this leads to an early exit for Purdue.

Haas was like onf of the only two respectable Purdue players I've seen. The other being Robbie Hummel.

I don't understand. Gregg Marshall outperformed Archie in the tournament again.

Agreed. Roy Williams is the only one that never loses in the first round. God knows I am glad we didn’t have another bad hire in Marshall, but this isn’t why. Hopefully he can retool and we can play them at some point.

I know a lot of people say we are not supposed to like Butler anymore, but I really like watching them play basketball.

And just as I post that, they look tired, and make 4 mistakes in the next 5 possessions lol. Not all the mistakes bite them in the @$$ tho. Butler must lack depth this year coz no substitutions.

BUT 79

I've decided I still like Butler.

[TheWatShot]

I had a really good first day yesterday, today I've already missed two and two others I picked are both down by nine at the half.

 

Same thing, every year.

Agreed. The down side being a state school not named IU will be in the sweet sixteen.

As much as I can't stand Purdue, I'm sad to see the news about Isaac Haas. Despite his wandering elbows against us, he's an easy kid to root for. His sister has a rare form of epilepsy and at her worst, could have as many as 25 seizures a day. The folks in West Lafayette did a gofundme page for her and raised a bunch of money to get her a seizure dog. ... Plus, I'm from one of those half-PU, half-IU families -- my dad was raised near Lafayette and went to PU. He passed last May, so I was sorta hoping they might have a nice run so he could enjoy it from where he is. But I'm not sure how far they'll get now.

Marshall has more losses in the 2018 NCAA tourney than Archie. 

 

Boom.

I think they are capable of making a run anyhow. They still have a very good team and Haas isn't biggie.

I agree! I didn't hate Kentucky until they hired the cheat.

The biggest effect this has is that now opposing teams only really have to focus on defending the three, rather than attempting to defend both inside and outside, plus they lose bench depth down low big time. If they shoot how they have this season, I expect them to succeed, if they go cold, they'll be in trouble.
