I’m 90 percent sure what Tallguy said will happen.

hmm, I remember the last time UNC was a #1 seed with Indiana as a potential second round opponent. Indiana played basically the way it’s been playing the past 6 games and got its ass kicked by Colorado. Remember that.

Indiana is going to be exposed BIG TIME in the coming days. It the ball is in Eric Gordon’s hands at crunch time…game over, the other team wins. I like the other pieces, especially DJ White, but nothing that I have seen out of Gordon makes me think he will do well in this tournament or in the NBA.

If he takes it to the hoop instead of jacking a three then I definitely want the ball in his hands, but lately they have not been feeding DJ enough inside. There’s no reason he should ever have less than 15 FG attempts.

I’m also bearish on Gordon’s NBA future. I think he will still be drafted high based on potential and shooting ability, but he really needs to improve his handles and mid-range game to become a “better Ben Gordon”.

Good read about IU's seeding. Basically what I've been saying all along.

TBL, one suggestion – can you tell the person who set up our tourney challenge to use Yahoo or CBSSportsline next year? ESPN’s bracket didn’t even work on my computer, I had to have someone on a different computer enter my bracket’s for me.

Am I mistaken, or did IU beat Purdue head to head? That aside, I thought they both deserved to be in the 5-7 range somewhere.

As I’ve said before, the 8 seed was based off the Dakich era which is somewhat fair. Though to go along with the RPI & SOS that TBL posted, Pomeroy has IU at 19 and Purdue at 25.

No Big 10 team is going to do much in this tournament, Wisconsin has the only decent chance to get to the Sweet 16.
