2023 NCAA Basketball Tournament.

Purdue underachieving is the easiest bet of all.

I had them losing in the round of 32 in all my brackets, but this was even worse than I thought.

Did anyone's bracket have Furman and FDU? Very unlikely.

I had Furman in a few, but 0 on FDU.

 

[Sir Robin Of Camelot]

Purdue lost to a team that was 4-22 last season and only made this tournament because the conference champion was ineligible.

Can’t make that shit up.

So about 30 years ago there was a joke about Purdue. It went "they are removing the floor at Mackey Area and replacing it with one made out of cardboard. The they were asked why; the answer was because Purdue always plays better on paper".

Apparently, it is still true.

 

[Ron G]

Why do teams whether losing or winning by big deficits (15 or more) with 1 minute left, leave their starters in the game. The winning teams risks an injury, and the losing team could at least let the bench players say they were in a tournament game. Coaches can be such jackasses.

I've never seen such a useless trash university consistently fail with high recruits.

What kind of fucked up rule is that? You have to play 5 seasons in D-I to go to the NCAA's? Merrimack (18-16) would be representing if they were eligible.

 

[PhilSimms11]

Purdue is the first team to lose in three straight tournaments to a team seeded 13 or lower...OUCH.

2021 #13 No Texas--1st round
2022 #15 St Peter's--Sweet 16
2023 #16 FDU--1st round

 

[Ickey Shuffle]

Let's all take a moment to laugh at Purdue.

Them and Memphis caused a good chuckle. It's been a good day.

 

[Ickey Shuffle]

Enjoy the AAC Felicia! Peace out!

My ACT (All Cannot Trust) Teams (historically)...
Arizona
Kansas
Purdue
Villanova
Virginia
Bench: Gonzaga, Iowa St

That's a pretty good starting five...wouldn't you say?

 

[Ickey Shuffle]

"The more I watch Purdue the more I think we can beat them". The FDU coach kept on saying this

Lmao Purdue you suck

How you have Virginia that low? No one in their right mind penciled them past Round 32.

 

[Wamu]

Lucky man. Honestly, I don't care that much. It was just a novel thing while it lasted that I was getting them all right and the wife was getting them all wrong.

I always enjoy March Madness. What would make it even better is if someone beats dook.

I've never seen such a useless trash university consistently fail with high recruits.

Why would you call Purdue a trash university just because its basketball has problems in the tournament. The graduates of Purdue can compete with those of any in the country, especially those coming out with an engineering degree. It is a high-quality academic university just as all of the B10 schools are.
That cannot be said for all of the other Power 5 conferences.

Lets go, Aztecs!!!!
