| Welcome to Our Hoosier Board! Most of the posters here have been around for nearly a decade now. You'll find their knowledge and insight to be second to none. We have a really strong community and value everyone's opinions. Feel free to jump into any thread and voice your opinion with conviction. We love heated debates and even some fanbase ribbing from time to time. We pride ourselves on the lack of moderation needed to make this board successful. Please remember that we have been around many years and have an astute ability to tell the difference between an immature, childish, trash-talking troll and a passionate fan voicing his or her opinion. It is at the discretion of Jazen and myself whether any moderating actions should be taken at any given time. It's a very, very rare thing. In other words, no worries....you'll be fine!

30% seems awfully low. I don't buy that. |

Kenpom has it at 37%, with a 4 point spread. The fact that it's basically a home game for Kansas is helping them on the computer models. |

We’ve had some guys in our program, we had a couple guys that felt I had a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. And they were right — I do have a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. I like guys that go to class, that are academic All-Americans, that come early, that stay late, that love the game of basketball. I am biased towards those guys. And I’m biased towards Rob Hummel. But I’m also biased towards their habits, their work ethic, and how they carry themselves." "I’d take him to the ends of the earth — I’d want him playing for me.” - Bo Ryan on Robbie Hummel

The guy picked last in gym class

Does Pom count it as a home game? I would think he counts it as a neutral court game. Sagarin has Kansas as a 2 point favorite on a neutral court, 5 on a home court. |

Pom has it as a semi-home game. This will be their 5th game there this year. Spread is down to 3 now with same win%. I think that Purdue has some mismatches it can take advantage of, but they are going to have to play very cleanly when it comes to turnovers and rebounding to win. Those silly stretches of turnovers they seem to have can turn into a 10-12 pt run vs a team like KU. |
