Re: SDSU to face Purdue

Until we win a game or two in the tourney

Uh, that already happened. Counted for absolutely NOTHING in succeeding years. This is the first year that SDSU has drawn what could be described as a fair seed.

Did I see game time as 12:30pm Eastern on Saturday?

So St. Bonaventure's first trip to the tournament and they get a #5 seed?

Hey, those Catholic schools look out for each other.

Last time we played Purdue, we got embarrassed.

I trust our women will play better this time.

Go do it women!

Re: SDSU to face Purdue

Well its a 6.5 hour drive for me. little farther than Xavier was. tickets $32 for adults. $22 for students ages 3-21, so one adult two kids plus 7 for the will call window fee, plus tank and a half of diesel at $4.10 a gallon. I'm in, so who else is going? Oh yea, getting up at and hitting the road at 4 am to get there in plenty of time.

I was just thinking that. Wish we had Sam O on our side going into this game.

So would the IP schools from the summit IPFW IUPUI maybe show up to watch and if they did would they cheer for Purdue or a confrence mate?

Re: SDSU to face Purdue

looking at ESPN's preview the Jacks and Purdue are pretty even in points scored, allowed, record. If the Jacks can put it together and play D. avoid the long scoring droughts etc. they could pull it off.

Re: SDSU to face Purdue

The home court part is unfortunate, but I guess that a #13 seems about right. What are Purdue's strengths? It can't be worse than matching up with those twin-towers from Xavier last year.

Congrats to the women on giving us an amazing 4th straight NCAA matchup to complain about!

Re: SDSU to face Purdue

To be honest, based on common opponents . . . I think Purdue might--just might--be beatable on their home court, by a superior effort by the Rabbits.

Re: SDSU to face Purdue

In case anyone feels we got slighted, we didn't. Green Bay loses 1 game all year...and gets a #7 seed...and gets to play (#10) Iowa State in Ames. How 'bout them apples

Re: SDSU to face Purdue

Purdue's Brittany Rayburn MADE 12 three point baskets against Minnesota this year.

Re: SDSU to face Purdue

okay just ordered three tickets hopefully in the SDSU section at least that is what I specified. looks like a 4am wakeup Sat morning. And a bunch of emails from Purdue because I ordered from their site so looks like ticket offers for everything to go along with Michigan St. ticket offers blah blah blah.

Re: SDSU to face Purdue

Purdue kind of messed up our season last year after the WNIT game there. Thats when one of their players came down with some kind of disease that required quaranteen for her and shots for everyone that came into contact with her. plus a lot of worry for a few weeks afterward.
