That should be plenty good enough to roll IU by 25. |

I'm not trying to say we'd waltz in and win handily, but I think we could hold with them. I doubt UNC sees a defense like ours too often. That can be damn disruptive to a team used to scoring 95+ points a game. And the whole possibility of staying competitive definitely hinges on Calasan and Johnson being able to defend Hansborough. You don't shut him down, probably don't contain him, but if they could at least make it difficult for him, I think it would be a game worth watching. It would have to be at Mackey, without a doubt. Our guys would need every scrap of help they could get. After looking at this, it sounds damn ridiculous and fairly homerish, but I do think that if the refs let us play B10 defense, we'd make it a game. |

I admire your support, Maker, but I see a Purdue/UNC game as being very similar to last year's Xavier vs. UCLA game in the Elite Eight. |

Don't remember that game, but I'm thinking it'd be a 15+ point game. The same thing could be said for just about anybody in the country against them with a healthy Psycho T though. |

“He’s always been a guy — maybe to a fault — he would always try to do what I said. That seems like something simple in coaching, but those are the guys I hang my hat on. 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

You guys are (throwing in a probably cause I can) right, but I don't want to admit it. I occasionally think about Purdue basketball during my day and I seriously start smiling for 30 minutes. I'm pumped to watch these guys play, and my enthusiasm might be getting the best of me. Damn it all though, I'm quite alright with it! |

Jesus, I forgot about UCLA's starting 5 last year. Look at their minutes on the box score. Their starters played 88% of that game. That's ridiculous... |

Elite eight is more of a letdown than the Sweet Sixteen once you lose, just because one more win, and you would have advanced another weekend.. I would rather lose the Sweet 16 game or advance to the final four and lose. My opinion anyway. |

I put the "one and done option" for some of our friends, but forgot all about IBuildFurnaces. There definitely should have been a "NC championship three-peat" option. |

Sure. Just like Sanction knows nothing about the 600 illegal phone calls he made in the past two years. :rofl: Edited by BoilerVision, Nov 7 2008, 10:50 AM.
