some fun facts about Purdue's first round opponent, which is something called "Fairleigh Dickinson":
 
- ranked #298 out of 363 schools in kenpom
- have only played 1 game vs a top 100 opponent all year long (#77 pittsburgh in november).
- have played 35 games, and only 7 of those were vs teams in the top 300 (went 1-6)
- again is named "Fairleigh Dickinson"

Purdoop or whatever is losing to by far the worst team in the torny
LOL

Apparently none of that crap matters in The Big Dance

Folks, the Big Dance is a lot like rivalry games. And what I mean by that is, you can go ahead and take the record books, the stats, the Vegas odds…and just throw them all out the window

My favorite thing about this picture is not the rubbing of it in, but the fact that the bare arms of three guys sitting down in the middle look like the bare legs of three dudes standing behind them. Check it:

why is there so many more fans at the tcu game than our game? tcu doesn't even care about basketball. and probably neither does asu.

Because Kentucky fans bought like 10,000 tickets to our session and our game started at 10:00PM local time, obviously they didn't want to stay and watch.

this tournament provides even more proof of exactly how big of a fraud that “ken pom” and his disciples like “ksu_FAN” are

advanced stats lol, but I guess the only stat that matters is the one in the w/l column
go back to geometry class, nerds lmao


Cheesy Mustache QB might make an appearance.

New warning: Don't get in a fight with someone who doesn't even need to bother to buy ink.
