They certainly do. Purdue went from a 1 to a 4 because of Hummel's injury in '10. I don't think Jones' injury will have that sort of affect 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

Palm (CBS), Lunardi (ESPN), and Glockner (SI) all have IU as a 4-seed this morning. I'd say that means if we don't get a 4-seed we got screwed. |

I think IU deserves a 4, but a combination of the loss on Friday and Jones getting hurt could drop them to a 5, and that's what I voted. But really who cares about the difference between a 4 and 5? |

Ummm...me. And probably any team that's in the 4/5 seed region. The 5-12 matchup is notorious for upsets. 5 seeds are upset 28% in the first round, compared to just 19% for the 4 seeds. That's a pretty big difference IMO. |

I agree with bri, but I put down a 4 because I think that's where we should be. Not being a homer, but if you finished the season ranked #15th in the nation with wins over UK, MSU, OSU, and a couple of decent road wins, it boils down to simple logic, IMO. Even so, most people out there just aren't going to 'believe' until we stick it in their faces next year. |

Upon second look, it looks like we might drop to 5 seed. I think if either Vandy or FSU wins they will pass us. FSU may have already passed us. If they both pass us, we would almost assuredly be a 5 seed. The good news is, we may get the 5 seed in Nashville. If one of those two loses, we have a decent shot at a 4 out west. Rarely do I root for UK, but I'm rooting for them now... |

Not seen it talked about much, mainly because I don't visit the PU side that often, but whaddya guys think? Do they come in at around a 9 or 10? I could be way off, other than their conference/out of conference W/L records, I don't really pay much attention to who they're playing.

As much as it pains me to say it (I'd hate to see them get #8), and the fact that IU isn't quite strong enough to win the NT this year, I wouldn't mind UK being undefeated until we see them in December next year. How fitting would it be to dick stomp these cocksuckers on their home floor while they're having to watch the Watford replay the entire game. I'll never guarantee a win under any circumstance, but we're going to give them all they want in Lexington next year. :devil: |

He has them as a 4-seed, but if I remember correctly, he also has them behind IU on the S-curve. So if they win, they will pass IU on the S-curve, putting us as the last 4-seed. If Vandy passed us too that would put us as a 5-seed based on his projections. Also, I've seen other projections with FSU as 5. Regardless, you don't want teams passing you at the least minute. The fewer teams in front of us, the better chance we have at a good seed. |

I guess that's one difference between IU and Purdue fans. Purdue fans expect to win the first round, and then the 4 and 5 make absolutely no difference... I kid!! I kid!! :P |
