Ut Martin/ SIUE tipping off in the OVC quarterfinals.    Parker Stewart trying to advance in the conference tourney 

Punches thrown wow.   Going to take awhile to sort this one out.

Have to say if Purdue is a 1 seed, I want to be in their regional.

If we're a 4/5, is that a possibility? I thought they usually tried to keep conference teams apart until the Elite 8, unless they had only played once during the season. 

 

I'm not sure I've seen a team shoot 50% and look less impressive. It's amazing how much Edey hides on that team.

I was curious about purdoodoo's "easy" road to a Big 1.o regular season conference championship so I did some digging.

Head to head: 2-0 (IU)

Same opponent, same location: 8-3 (pu) - 6-5 (IU)
Teams: Iowa, @Maryland, @Michigan, @Northwestern, Michigan State x2, Rutger, @Penn State, Nebraska, Ohio State, @Minny

Combining these two categories and we're tied with purdoodoo at 8-5.
They have Illinois at home as the last remaining same opponent, same location data point. We won that game. At best, pu can tie us at 9-5 against same opponent, same location.

Same opponent, different location: 6-0 (pu) - 2-3 (IU)
pu: Maryland, Penn State, @Wiscy, @Nebraska, @Ohio State, Minny
IU: @Iowa, @Illinois, Northwestern, @Rutger, Wiscy

Purdoodoo feasted in the same opponent, different location category going 6-0. Two of these wins came against the bottom dwellers OSU and Minny who were circling the drain for much of the Big 1.o season. Only 1 of their unique games came against a team with an above .500 record in Big 1.o play while 5 of our 6 will come against teams with a better than .500 conference record.

Conclusion:
I believe we could have at least tied purdoodoo, with a real possibility of winning it outright, given the same schedule. Such is life in the Big 1.o, we still could have pushed for a conference crown had we not shat all over ourselves for that three game stretch or curled into the fetal position on several other occasions.
