You guys suck. Making the conference look bad along with the suckeyes. Boilerfakers amirite?

Big ten is now 2-3, including losses as the 2 and 4 seeds. I don't mind that loss last night.

11-1 at Mackey and 5-6 on the road. No one should be surprised they couldn’t win without the big ten home officiating. Wouldn’t be shocked if Iowa is next.

Always seems like Purdue fizzles out in the tournament. Looking back, they actually have made multiple Sweet 16's and an elite eight in the past 5 seasons or so. But they seem prone to fumbling away pretty good tournament seeds to mid majors with some regularity.

Gotta admit, I really don't care about conference post season success.  I'm glad the B1G is an elite conference because it makes for much more fun regular seasons, but once the tournament comes they can all fuck off

Only the SEC! cares about "the conference" and that's in football, hoping to set a precedent of deserving 2 teams in the playoff every year.  They know it's basically Bama and the "other" every year - with Bama being that "other" in an off year for them.  As annoying as SEC football is, after watching other teams not named Clemson get obliterated in the playoffs every year, can't say I disagree with this reality.

Purdue missed a few free throws and a few open looks but I think this game was more won by North Texas than lost by Purdue.  I don't know if Purdue is overrated but NT played a heck of a game.

I wonder what Painter is thinking now.  It doesn't look like they were prepared for what NT threw at them.  NT roles players made a few key shots.  Purdue's bench was a detriment.

One of the most exciting parts of the this tournament is the one and done aspect.  The seniors are aware that this may be the last time they ever play college ball or maybe even ever wear a uniform.  Hats off to North Texas.  Their coach had a great game plan to neutralize Treveon Williams and made the most of two stars carrying the rest of the team. 

Outside of the Wolverines, Treveon Williams is one of my favorite players.  I met him while he was visiting his mother.  Soft spoken, well spoken and very polite.  I enjoyed seeing the difference between his game face and his hanging out with mom face.
