Temple up 7 with 6:19 to go.

Can't believe Houston has a top 10 offense. So much aimless dribbling and 1 on 1 moves. 

[TheWatShot]

LOL, major fail by the Houston clock operator.

Temple wins it.    Houston missed a bunny off a good out of bounds play

Seems like Timme has been there forever…

But Race has been at IU long enough for me to have two more kids, buy and sell 3 houses and two different corporate moves. Crazy to actually type that out haha. 

[WayneFleekHoosier]

So Purdue at #1 tomorrow?

IU looking really good. We keep playing like we are we knock them off at home.

But I’d rather they take some extra Ls somewhere.

Personally I think they will be but I won’t at all be surprised if it’s Bama.    Bama has been torching SEC teams

Purdue has 2 losses coming up. We just need one other team to help us out a little. Book it!

I think the pollsters will give Purdue the benefit of the doubt with their one loss versus Bama's two and Purdue beating Gonzaga who gave Bama one of their L's.  But based on the most recent bracketology Purdue has only faced two teams solidly in the tournament since the Phil Knight Invitational on Thanksgiving weekend and they lost to one of them.  Meanwhile no one has came within single digits of Bama since they lost to Gonzaga on Dec. 17th, including a couple solid SEC teams.  In other words, Roll Tide tomorrow.
