Playing Purdue

[emmitt01]

Looks like we got a 13 seed

[Marty]

Bring on the Boilermakers!

[RiseUNT]

Let’s go

Let the predictions begin! Possibly one of my favorite weeks in all of sports: the analysis leading into a March Madness appearance.

Hoping we got some hidden height. They got length and size. Mac seems to be able to have a solid defensive game plan so hopefully we can shut them down.

They have a guy who is 7’4” and a pair of 6’10” players.

Let’s make It rain on them!

Some of the tournament games are in Purdue's colesium....and some are in Indiana's colesium. I sure hope this game isn't on Purdue's home court.

They have some quality wins this year.   A win against them would certainly legitimize us a team team to fear. 

[RiseUNT]

Of all the possible matchups I will take Purdue.

Ivey and Edey are going to be tough to contain. I wonder if we decided to open it up and push the pace. Maybe throw in some full court D early. Need to get off to a good start because Purdue ended their season strong and played in arguably the best conference in the nation this year. Tough game ahead.

I think we need to rest our starters.

[MeanGreen_MBA]

We play some tough defense. Some of the best I have ever seen us play. They may shock them for a C-USA team

[Gibbz]

Don't wanna get too far ahead, but if UNT could pull off the miracle against Purdue they'd have a very winnable round 2 matchup against Nova missing their PG or 12-seed Winthrop.

Their size is gonna be REALLY tough to handle.  Purdue always has tough, gritty teams.  Probably would have preferred another 4 seed.  But let's lace'em up and see what happens.

Virginia, Okie St, or FSU?

[EAGLE83]

In the past they would not let teams play on their home court

[CMJ]

Virginia just based on how we match up against them.  Not saying they're the worst 4 seed...on paper Purdue might be.  But the matchup itself with Purdue poses more problems (to me).

Huh? That doesn’t make any since with having so many days off and then getting a day if we win to rest and prep for our next opponent. At this point you play your 6 or 7 best unless you land in foul trouble or are dealing with injuries. Your starters would rest if you are going deep with at least 3 games in 3 days and would only be done in the first half to help hedge your advantage into the second half (especially if you can hold the lead). That doesn’t really seem to be a good thought here. 
 Unless your wanting to throw big out there to hammer Edey. See James Johnson’s previous rolls. Not sure Macasland uses guys like that though.

There are about 6 or 8 sites in the Indianapolis area such as Butler, which have no tickets available. On the other hand Lucas Oil Stadium where Colts play have tickets for 1st three rounds because of seating capacity .

They're making fun of you.
