@larzmarshall 13 years ago our cruise had a game called “Majority Rules”. Correct answer was whatever the most people said.

A question was “Who’s the best looking man in the world”. Our Caribbean cruise, answer was Channing Tatum. 2 weeks before - Alaskan cruise - answer was Sean Connery.

@RaphealDavis3 If 5 years means 2021 - 2025, here’s my chronological list:

2021 - TWilliams 26 pts + gw - at MSU (Pur won 55-54)
2023 - Edey 32 pts + gw - at MSU (Pur won 64-63)
2024 - Loyer 27 pts v. Tenn in Maui
2024 - Edey 40 pts v. Tenn in E8
2025 - TKR 29 pts v. UCLA (ends 4 gm skid)

@OncoAdvocate @adamgorney Based on that logic Michigan should have been in. They had a better win than any other team - at Ohio State. Since their bad losses don’t matter and they have higher ranked recruits than Indiana & SMU, it’s disappointing the committee didn’t let them in.

[Darren Odom @Odomaniac]

@larzmarshall I’d take that. Of course, after a 1-11 season giving up 66 to 2 different in state rivals, I’d also be willing to listen what you bring to the table, Larz.

@larzmarshall @DThurman7 If he could call him this afternoon and distract him a bit, I’d appreciate it. #BoilerUp

@VolInNashville @RollTheTake @wesrucker247 Edey was in foul trouble in the first game. Sat several minutes with 4 fouls.

[Darren Odom @Odomaniac]

@cobrastats @BoilerUniforms That’s probably not as weird as it initially sounds. If you look at most of those games, they shot a low number of FT’s - which makes it easier to make them all. But shooting a low number of FT’s is generally not a recipe for success. 20-20 today is the anomaly.

@tjanderson12 @VPsalesBD @PU_Milestones Last 10 tournaments (all B1G teams)
Mich: 23-8
MSU: 18-10
Wisc: 15-8
Pur: 9-8
OSU: 7-7
Md: 6-6
Ind: 6-5
Iowa: 4-7
Ill: 3-4
Minn: 2-3
NW: 2-2
Rut: 1-2
PSU: 1-1
Neb: 0-1

Since no B1G team has won the tourney, losses reflect # of tourneys made in the last 10 played (2013-23).

@BeasonMark Apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, my friend.

@ehensleycpa @DePauw_MBB 😂 😂. I did the same thing my son’s last year of baseball. Most of the teams in his conference posted their schedule before his did. I had the whole conference schedule lined up before his team posted his.

Putting that FC education to good use, sir!

[Darren Odom @Odomaniac]

@BeasonMark @mattmclain_ @Reds @TommyThrall I’m seeing his name (along with de la Cruz), mentioned, but the consensus seems to be that Corbin Carroll of the D-backs pretty much has it locked up.

[Darren Odom @Odomaniac]

@DSebass32 @immaculategrid @baseball_ref Having Cubs on there probably helps you. I’m generally much better at the accomplishment categories than the team ones. I blame @b_odom3 for getting me hooked on this.

[Darren Odom @Odomaniac]

@larzmarshall The addition of Elaine between the pilot & episode 2 obviously made a huge difference.

@MattyP19165685 @divIIbaseball @QUHawksBaseball @Baseball_UIS @BaseballMU @waynestbaseball @Northwood_BSB @ashland_base @UIndyBaseball Team ranked #6 last week went 0-2, incl H2H loss to team ranked #9. Stayed #6. Team ranked #7 went 3-2 with win over #9, while team ranked #8 went 2-2 w/ no ranked wins, yet team #8 passed team #7. All 3 Reg season & conf trny winners in same sub-Reg. Agreed, makes no sense.

[Darren Odom @Odomaniac]

@divIIbaseball @QUHawksBaseball @Baseball_UIS @BaseballMU @waynestbaseball @Northwood_BSB @ashland_base @UIndyBaseball Why would the NCAA put the three Conf winners (both Reg & post season) in the same sub-regional and put the four At-large in the other one?

@TNUBaseball @milam_44 Congrats @milam_44 and @TNUBaseball. I’m guessing @bmilam7 has some great pics 😎

@kerba1123 @BoilerUniforms Meaning Painter has zero true upsets while suffering 5.

Keady had 1 true upset while suffering 4 (2x in R1 as a 6 seed - although 1 was a true road game at LSU. 2x in R2 as a 1 or 2 seed).

Purdue has been involved in 10 upsets since 1981. It’s 1-9 in those games.

[Darren Odom @Odomaniac]

@kerba1123 @BoilerUniforms By comparison, Keady had 10 upset losses (seed diff > 1) but only 2 greater than 5 (2nd Rd ‘90 & ‘96)

Lost 3x in Rd 1 as a 6/7
Lost 3x in Rd 2 as a 3

He had 3 upset wins, all late in career (99 as 10 seed v. 7 Texas & 2 Miami; ‘00 as 6 seed v. 3 Okla)

11 was worst loss by seed

[Darren Odom @Odomaniac]

@kerba1123 @BoilerUniforms Not much of an upset if the seed lines are consecutive. Takes away 3 of the 4 upset wins (leaving only the 2012 win over St. Mary’s in a 10-7 matchup- also not a huge upset).

But it only eliminates one of the upset losses (TTech in 2018 as a 2-3). 5 losses with seed diff +/- 7.
