  • Providence takes down #1 Pitt
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!

Cheers,
sirbrianwilson

If the #1 spot gets passed around many more times, surely with a few more wins, Purdue deserves a shot at the spot.

I didnt even rip Purdue and got jumped for it? You guys are touchy.
I was just joking around, you can say what you want.

Purdue doesn't deserve a shot at #1, they aren't that good.

Are there more than 5 teams that have played consistently enough to guarantee them a spot over Purdue? My point is, everyone has been getting knocked off lately and ranking are just opinions. Do you REALLY know if UCLA is better than Purdue if they havent played each other on a neutral court? It is peoples opinions, and you know what is said about opinions.

(I was just using UCLA as an example, NO need to start throwing out random stats)

Random stat

Purdue has beaten a top ten team this season UCLA has yet to beat a ranked team

I didn't think so in Oct but with a healthy Hummel Purdue beats UCLA
Nothing beats an Astronaut

From the games I've watched, I think Duke, UCONN, Pitt, and UNC are definitely better than Purdue. OU beat us, even though it was relatively close, but I still think they are better. Wake's athleticism would be a poor matchup.

Thats 6 teams I definitely think are better. I think if Hummel had stayed healthy, we could be sitting at 24-3 and have a legit claim, but thats not the case.

I'm okay with where we are. My expectations for the season are still very much attainable, and I'm excited for the rest of the season. I just don't think we deserve the #1 spot at all.

Maybe you dont deserve the #1 spot, but NOBODY has played like they DESERVE it! That is my only point.

That I can agree on. Its been a crazy year indeed.

Want to argue about what comes after B in the alphabet now? :sarcasm:

March is going to be insane!!!!

I don't think anyone wants to be #1.
When is March not insane.

Favorite time of the year for me.
It usually is, but this year seems to be a deeper year of college basketball. More high quality teams than usual.
huh?


please define "quality"


dcum is confusing 'competitive' with 'quality'
Quality could refer to entertainment value. Closer games are more fun to watch so more parity in college basketball could then be viewed as a better quality than less parity.

I think the teams fighting for bubble spots are better than the teams fighting for bubble spots last year. 18-13 Oregon was a 9 seed at large team last year. UK with 18 wins made the tournament.

Alabama 02-03. reached #1 in the country, lost as a 10 seed to who? You guessed it, #7 seed IU!


.... then Pitt proceeded to kick our ass in the second round.

Purdue has beaten a top ten team this season UCLA has yet to beat a ranked team

I didn't think so in Oct but with a healthy Hummel Purdue beats UCLA
I think Purdue beats UCLA @home or on neutral now, we are better then Arizona and Wash U.
