Baylor vs. Iowa State - A Baylor or Iowa State win hurts the Marquette cause

Tie, please tie!

[PGsHeroes32]

Damn. I'm also a Purdue fan. I really hope they can have a good run in the tournament this year...until they play Marquette.

Yeah the sideline reporter was back there as he tried walking it off and as he said

Good news is he was able to walk on his own for a bit

Bad news is it wasnt effective and resulted in going back to locker room anyways.

Do the refs even look at Edey other than to call a foul on the opposing team. They guy travels every time he catches the ball.

[PGsHeroes32]

This game is a classic Purdue game. Fouls on every possession.

Absolutely killing the pace.

They call so many fouls when Edey gets the ball that they also feel obligated to call a ton on the other end too.

[PGsHeroes32]

Smith back. Was jogging a bit.

They would be insane to put him back in though

How would Purdue fair in the Big East? I honestly think they'd have a few more Ls.

Most "bracketologists" have Michigan State making the tournament, but when I look at their resume, I don't see it:

If they lose today, they would be 3-9 in quad 1 games.
If they lose today, they would have 14 losses.
They would be 2-9 against the upper echelon of the Big 10.
They were 10-10 in conference play, beating Michigan twice, Rutgers, Minnesota, Penn St, twice, and Maryland twice (plus Illinois and Northwestern).
Baylor was their only quad 1 non-conference win.

Apparently they are insane.

Guess Painter is insane, hes in the game ha

Tennessee overslept apparently.

Good metrics, no losses outside Q1/2, a not atrocious SOS.  Compare that to some of the bubble teams and it's clear they should slide into that 7-10 range.

[PGsHeroes32]

Sissoko for MSU has the hand eye coordination of Ray Charles but hes an absolute menace in the paint right now creating second chances for MSU whether he gets the board or his chaos lets another player get it.

They'll slide into 10 or 11, not anywhere near a 7

[PGsHeroes32]

Sparty gonna kick themselves on this one.

Missing way too many easy open looks in the paint

[wisblue]

They'll slide into 10 or 11, not anywhere near a 7

Probably a 10 and still in position to be a possible second round opponent for a 2. I want them to get a 9.

[HowardsWorld]

If Michigan state wins this game they will be a 9 seed.

[lawdog77]

If Michigan state wins this game they will be a 9 seed.

YOU'RE CRAZY!!!! THEY WILL BE AN 8 SEED WHICH IS A HUGE DIFFERENCE!!!!!!

[HowardsWorld]

YOU'RE CRAZY!!!! THEY WILL BE AN 8 SEED WHICH IS A HUGE DIFFERENCE!!!!!!

Now they should be in the play in game.

[Uncle Rico]

Purdue didn't screw Marquette.  Will Wisconsin?

[MU82]

I know Purdue is very good. I still really, really, really want to be the 2 seed in the region in which Purdue is the 1.

[21Jumpstreet]

Tennessee overslept apparently.

Getting spanked, wow

[CTWarrior]

I know Purdue is very good. I still really, really, really want to be the 2 seed in the region in which Purdue is the 1.

I don't know about that.  Every number 1 seed that lost to a 16 has won the tournament the next year.

[Uncle Rico]

Think the Badgers win this by 30.

[CountryRoads]

Think the Badgers win this by 30.

Making a late push for the last protected Indy seed?

[HowardsWorld]

Badgers used all there 3s yesterday.
