Could see them not making it to the sweet sixteen tbh

Especially if they get a tough matchup the first weekend. I was a little worried when it looked like they were going to get a 1 seed, but with their recent struggles that's not going to happen. Add that in with Painter usually not doing well in the tournament and I like the odds of them not getting to the sweet 16.

Purdue doesn't impress me at all. They've beat what, one good team all season?

Purdue has a lot of talent but they just don't seem to put it together very often.

What a bizarro world where Michigan is a basketball school and IU is a football school.

But hey, I'm excited Not Purdoo won the tournament

How many teams are in a quadrant? I never really got into the whole Quad 1 Quad 2 Quad 3 mumbo-jumbo.

 

Purdue has beaten 3 ranked teams all season. I'm pretty sure our 2013 team beat 3 ranked teams in a span of about 2 weeks.

B1G people downplay the B1G is bad talk.

But let's be honest, it's a bad in year the B1G. The terrible teams are less terrible. It's top heavy in Michigan St, Purdue, Michigan.

OSU is overrated.

Nebraska and Penn State are ok, maybe.

Rest is blah.

I just googled it and found this. 

"Quadrant one wins are those home games vs. teams RPI ranked 1-30, neutral games vs. 1-50, and away games vs. 1–75. For example, a home win against a top 30 team would qualify as a quadrant one victory.

A Quadrant 2 win are those at Home against the RPI 31–75, neutral 51–100, and away victories over the RPI 76–135."

It seems pretty silly to me honestly.

Makes sense to me in a math dork sort of way but I prefer the Eye test. Lol.

Yeah I feel like math people would love it haha. Who would even be the #75 team in the country? I'm trying to see how "meh" a team you can beat to get a quadrant 1 win.

Committee has always used quadrants but this year they just redefine them and put more emphasis on neutral and road wins. Ranked teams have nothing to do with what the committee views as a quality win. Regardless of it you like the system or not quality of wins will be based on rpi. Until committee goes in a different direction this is what we got

I love the way Michigan plays. Michigan got a good coach!

I read a post on this site a couple days ago that someone nixed him being our coach in 08. Who was that and why did he have veto power

Herbert wanted a minority to replace Davis.....that's what I was always told.

pu will struggle in the tourney if C. Edwards struggles. They can go cold from deep and keep chucking. They can also turn it over and struggle to defend athletic teams. They're un athletic in 4 starting positions.

Fort Wayne loses to North Dakota St by 4 in Summit Quarterfinals. I thought they were going to pull it out they were down 23 and made it interesting at the end

Is Ron Patterson's career finally over, or will he be given a 10th year of eligibility?
