I live in Athens. You can walk into Stegman Coliseum 15 minutes before tipoff and sit courtside.

HAHAHA Purdue sucks. Not a regular season title or tournament title with that stacked team

[TheWatShot]

That's it, Purdue, keep fouling in a game that's already over and kick that 103rd ranked defense even lower.

Iowa wins the Big Ten

[TheWatShot]

Only 3 times has a team won 4 games in 4 days to win the BTT. 

 

Iowa in 2001, beat IU in the final game. 

Michigan in 2018, beat Purdue in the final. 

Iowa in 2022, beat Purdue in the final. 

[Henryville Hoosier]

Nice to know we played Iowa the toughest.

McCaffery crying after a big ten tournament title seems a little much. Conference tourneys are a fun way to end the season an all, but if that’s the mountain top for you emotionally I don’t know.

To the contrary, they're getting more possessions in order to unfurl that KenPom #1 offense banner

[TheWatShot]

Weird thought: by not beating Illinois and Wisconsin during the season, it kept Purdue from winning the title. By not beating Iowa yesterday, it may have kept Purdue from winning the tournament.

Well, it didn't work. Kenpom just updated and Purdue's offense is now #3, behind Iowa at #2 and Gonzaga at #1.

Fran joy crying has to be like Francon Level 84.

A chili cheese dog at the Dairy Queen = $2.69

1 can of Anti-Monkey Butt Powder = $4.96

Watching Purdue not make another Final 4 under Matt Painter = Priceless

[Trish]

Mike White to Gerogia 

 

WOW

[HoosierTrav]

Feel like they’re gonna make us sweat a little bit. 

[HoosierTrav]

WHAT???

[Alford Bailey]

IU, Purdue and UK in the same region?

[Gahoosierfan]

The selection committee is an embarrassment. If you win 25 games and play nobody, you get a high seed. Schedule means nothing.

Iowa hasn't won a Big Ten title since 1979. Their last Final Four was in 1980. Winning the Big Ten tournament is a huge deal for them. They aren't a program that gets 5 star talent, and they only get a legit chance to contend for a league title about every 5-6 years if things line up right. 

 

McCaffery might be happy he's finally found a way to avoid a huge late season meltdown. Iowa really came on strong the last few weeks.

Probably gets a hefty bonus too!
