I think Syracuse, KU, UK, and Duke have 1 seeds all but locked up. Duke is the only one who has to win the conference tourney, and they should do so rather easily. |

UK and KU had 1 seeds locked up in December. I agree Duke has to win the ACC tourney, but I think they will and get a one. I think 'Cuse probably will still get a 1, but losing back to back games is iffy. They do have like 8 or 9 RPI top 50 wins, and the deucing they dropped on the Big East will probably do it though.

Yeah, Syracuse has like 12 RPI top 50 wins (at least according to RealtimeRPI), and 3 more against teams at 52, 54, 55. 28-4, 9 SOS, and 5th RPI. I'd be surprised if they weren't a #1. |

dc, good point that the seeding committee could factor in the BTT championship by flipping the #2 and #3 seeds. |

At this point, I'm not sure it even matters. Given our current state, and if LewJack can't go, I'm not sure we can beat any NCAA team. Struggled to beat NW (prob NIT bound) in a semi-home game, and I think Jackson's driving ability saved us just as much as Moore's hot shooting. |

:facepalm: yes you can. purdue is still as good as any team out there if they're playing their game. |

Based on what? I hope you're right, but I can't see it if Jackson is unavailable. Without him we are merely a jump-shooting team...with only two guys that can shoot (one of which is our center) It's bad enough when he is on the court (w/o Hummel), but at least he creates opportunities for JJ.

full disclosure: i haven't watched a purdue basketball game since the Hummel injury game vs. Minnesota. anywho, in theory you have two EXCELLENT college basketball players on your team without Hummel. All you need is KG to pull his head out of his ass, and a big guy to remotely contribute (meaning 5+ rebounds 4+ points) and you guys should find yourselves in the sweet 16. |

KG looks like he may already have already spent his wad for the season. And we don't have a big guy that can remotely contribute...other than JJ. We have Bade and no one else taller than 6'5" if I remember correctly. Looks downright scary. We have to pray for lights-out shooting....without any drive and dish opportunities. |

I'm still hoping for a 3, but won't be upset with a 4. |

The guy picked last in gym class

Have to ask...if Purdue had lost a close game to Northwestern, would it have looked better to the committee than beating NW and then getting destroyed on natonial television against Minnesota? |

yes. i think the game left an unsavory taste in the mouths of purdue fans, players, and ultimately the selection committee. |

I agree. We would have been much better off if we had lost yesterday. IMO, even a ten point loss to NW would have been better for us than today's game. |
