missed the game but glad too see purdue won.  too bad it was against butler, but im an iupui guy so i cant feel too badly for them 

 

hopefully they can still make a final 4

Yeah that is where I graduated from IUPUI, back in the 90's. I am an old man lmao. I grew up an IU fan in the 80's and 90's and loved the Bobby Knight days. Now days if Purdue is Good I root for them if IU isn't in the Tourney. I like Butler and ND too as well being from Indiana. It's funny back in the Knight days it was a sin too like Purdue so I didn't like them at all because of that rivalry, now days I have softened up on it. I picked Purdue for the Final 4 so I hope they keep train moving!

Everytime I watch Syracuse I think of the 1987 National Championship Game. I was 15 when that game was played. I remember watching it at home with Smart winning it at the buzzer! I damn near jumped through the ceiling! I was so happy for Alford getting that Ring. Unreal that was 31 years ago! IUPUI made the Tourney back in 1993 when I was there, we got blown out by KY but made it haha 

 

*2003 I meant lmao. I went to Ivy Tech in the 90's and then finished up my 4 year degree in 2003 at IUPUI.

Two teams I would not mind seeing out of the tournament are North Carolina and Duke. North Carolina is playing now. Did Duke already advance?

I agree, I don't like either team. Duke already is in and they have won big in both their games. NC will probably win tonight, If I hear the name JoBerry 1 more time I am going to mute NC games when I watch them. The Announcers have said his name like every 10 seconds. Why don't they just say Berry instead of his whole name?

What a low scoring game between Syracuse and Michigan State! They have played 16 minutes and neither has scored 20 points. 

It really was an ugly game. Neither team had much of an offense. Michigan State couldn't seem to make anything at the end

I'm over sports every time my team is one of the best all year long they blow it really hope the same thing don't happen to the pacers 

Pacers have had a Good season, if they win a Playoff series the rest is gravy IMO. They are a year or 2 away from being Great. Either Houston or GS State will win it all. As Great as LeBron is, Cavs have 0 chance of beating either one of those teams.

    • I just cant understand taking D line over a CB this year.  WR or Bowers would make sense to me   If the team doesnt value corners this way then maybe they should start.  I dont like to pigeon hole what we draft this hard but our secondary is a bunch of nobodies and our Dline is ok, better than ok actually.  We dont even have many snaps for a rookie unless they are a really good edge right out of the gate. A rookie DT from this class isnt beating Buckner or Stewart.
    • We see many coverage failures by all teams caused by miscommunication.  Certainly there are exceptional individuals that play CB but experience and intelligence are vital.  Flowers had size and 4.3's speed, and Jones was decent. Juju has potential but because of his size and speed he will always be successfully targeted.   We are desperate for a 4.3's stud that can cover anytime, anywhere. That was Rodgers BTW. 
    • Isaiah Land he says.     Every year it happens. The Dallas Cowboys make some tough roster cuts and we all wait nervously to see if our favorite prospects make it cleanly through waivers. Most do, but every once in a while, a team will scoop up that one guy we were hoping made it to the practice squad. This year, that player is edge rusher Isaiah Land. An undrafted free agent from Florida A&M, Land dealt with injuries his final year in college, but had a remarkable season in 2021 when he finished with 19 sacks, 25.5 tackles for a loss, and three fumble recoveries. While there is a lot to be uncovered with him, he still flashed enough to draw interest from the Cowboys. Throughout the summer, the young edge rusher had impressed and it looked like the team had found another diamond in the rough. Land was fantastic during the preseason. In three games, he finished with 10 total pressures, which was the second-most of any player on any NFL team this preseason. He also finished with seven hurries on 45 pass-rushing snaps. He only recorded one official sack but finished with a pass rush win rate of 20%. Not only that, he had opposing tackles so worried about his get-off that they were regularly jumping early. There were several instances when tackles would get called for a false start.    Might as well be optimistic about  Woods and Land contributing to our resurrection. 
    • Nice catch Stitch.  Year two of Steichen, our very functional TE group and Downs gives me very high expectations that we will be highly effective attacking the middle of the field. If we do add another WR to help complement the other side of the field, Pittman's ability to be even more outstanding only goes up. And I feel confident another guy will be added. Our offense should be very strong for 2024.
    • I'm hopeful Colts resign Blackmon and do this in the draft
