Horizon has some ones going.   
clevland St tied at Robert Morris with 6 min to go.    This would be an upset 

Fort Wayne up 4 at Youngstown st with 6 min to go

Michigan/Sparty game cancelled.   Michigan had a tough  stretch coming up.   Convenient for them to postpone some of the games during that stretch

My Michigan fan buddy just texted me, “that’s one way to avoid a blowout “

IMO this is why games should be forfeited. No way they don’t have 7 players.

9-0 run for Penn St.  Penn st up 7 on Purdue with 9 min to go in the first half

Purdue down 21-14 at PSU. Other than beating Villanova, what has Purdue done worthy of a top 5, 10, or 15 ranking?

Beat teams by 20, 30 and 40.

Okay but so has pretty much every other top 25 team? Even IU has done that. 
 

Rutgers, NC State, Wisconsin, and even the Iowa (without Keegan Murray) game they have really struggled. I am sure they will beat IU but to crown them as a final four team is just puzzling to me after what they have shown

[Demo]

My AT&T guide shows the 1pm on ESPN as “Virginia at Virginia.” Question for USPS, is that a Quad 1 win either way?

Purdue up 35-30 at the half.

Armaan Franklin’s stroke looks bad. His footwork is noticeably worse.

Let’s go PSU!!!!
Down 2 with 4 minutes left in the game.

Notice when PSU started coming back in this game? They started getting wide open looks from deep and then hit some really contested shots. PSU isn’t going to beat many Big 1.o teams making twos.

Well they have one of the best guards in the nation and they play hard. That's enough to get attention. Problem for them, they are now the hunted and not the hunter. It's much different when you have the target on your back. About like the 12-13 team for us.

Just walked in the door for a tie game with 7 sec to go in seton hall/UConn game.  Even when I’m out watching little USPSs play winning their games today college basketball delivering

I mentioned this back in November when everyone was losing their sh*t about how unstoppable they looked against UNC (who isn't good this year), but Purdue had a leg up on most teams early on because they returned so much and didn't have to integrate any transfers. That advantage is tapering off as other teams find their footing and everyone gets acclimated to their new systems. I wouldn't write them off as a Final Four team, because all it takes is a busted bracket and the right matchups, but they aren't as good as they were made out to be.
