Purdue !!!!!!!!!!

This has to be the easiest 1st round game, no?? Everybody and their mother is on Siena & all the talk is Siena should be fav, Purdue is a joke without Robbie. Come on now, Purdue is still a VERY solid team and i actually think Siena is a bit overhyped anyway.

Purdue -4 for me !!!!!

Saints are a good club. Not so sure we can say that about Purdue (without Hummel)

Both Purdue and Siena have one 8 of their last 10, Siena is heading into the tourney with a five game win streak and is overall a good team with a better offense. Purdue is good but without Robbie Hummel, he was their best rebounder and a great free throw shooter. I really don't know if they can do it but time will tell.

I will say I have them beating Siena and Texas A&M in 1 of my brackets. But I really think its a long shot.

i dont care who the better team is blah blah blah or whos got what or won what .... doesn't matter. bottom line - Siena over Purdue is EVERYBODY's "sexy" pick of the tournament and that play ALWAYS crashes & burns. 65% on siena betting wise AND the entire nation was gonna be on Siena's jock no matter who they played. purdue ROLLS!

If I am correct that is the same argument a few years back with Winthrop and Notre Dame. Winthrop was the sexy pick and Notre Dame was favored. Winthrop won by 10 ish

this is actually very interesting.


on sunday to about monday, everyone loved siena. we all know the reasons why.

now everyone loves purdue because why is the line -4 with purdue who has been shitty against a very trendy underdog. so now will all the money go to purdue, at least sharp money went or is going to purdue? interesting to see where the line goes.
