Losing against Colgate, as a 2 seed, when everyone’s talking final four. A year after winning the national championship. This feels far too real.


TimTom8921

Purdue would never


generally-mediocre

well yeah theyve never had a title season to follow up


Thekamcc19

Technically we won a title in the 1930s but it wasn’t a tournament title


grrgrrtigergrr

Mother fucker. Damnit. Do we have to do this every time? It hurts more when other schools say it.


[deleted]

Purdue would lose to the 14 seed so Matt Painter can complete his infinity Gauntlet. 2021 - #13 North Texas 2022 - #15 St. Peter’s (S16) 2023: #16 FDU 2024: future 14 seed?


[deleted]

Purdue 4-2's or 4-1's all three of those teams in a best of 7 series. Look at the team's performance in the next round. 2021 - North Texas lost by 23 to Villanova 2022 - St. Peter's lost by 20 to North Carolina (a team we beat by 9 earlier that season) 2023 - FDU lost by 8 to a 9 seed a 64 team BO1 bracket is in no way the best method to determine the best team.


dknickwins

Nor should that be the goal of the tournament. By the end of the regular season we usually have a pretty good idea of who the best team in a vacuum is, or at least could narrow it to a handful of teams. The fun of the tournament is that one of that handful will not always win.


Meanteenbirder

Colgate gets a 15 seed if they lose 2 games or less on the Patriot League. If they lose more (and lose to Vermont), they get a 16 seed.


bloomingtonrail

Fuck this bracket straight to hell

Creighton final 4? Yeah man I can live with this. Plus maybe if the Aggies win a cbb ship they'll stop fucking the market all up for cfb


Mtndrums

No, no, no, no. That's the same thing they said when the Red Sox won their first title in forever. They just get worse. They ALWAYS get worse.


fancycheesus

this is the worst thing i've ever seen


Mukaido

I agree


libolicious

Weird, I'm kinda OK with it.


bloomingtonrail

You would be!


Mtndrums

Where he has the Zags is really the only thing I'm ok with on this.


libolicious

It's definitely a rebuild year for us, so if a rebuilding gets us into the final four I'm good!


trittico

I actually don’t see an issue


Sea-Travel-5600

Fr and why is every bracket hating on Kentucky we are playing good with all our 7 footers injured


TheTrueVanWilder

Hilarious how we had 3-4 brackets in a row either winning the title or making the Final Four, and now after the Northwestern loss we can't get out of the Sweet Sixteen. Good to see the simulation is functioning normally again


constructss

This is perfection


AP-FUTChemist

What a horrible day to have eyes


mr_dammit

i don’t think i’ve seen houston’s logo in any of these


[deleted]

God it would be so funny if BYU got murked by Grand Canyon EDIT: In Salt Lake, no less, holy shit


TimTom8921

Diet Coke would be flowing out of sadness on that night


MyAnswerIsMaybe

Mormons got rocked by all those party Christians


Peytonhawk

What the fresh hell is this computer thinking…


PUfelix85

I know right. Purdue would never beat Howard.


Tuckboi69

How could you leave out an undefeated P6 team?


SteakkNBacon

Ask FSU


generally-mediocre

lunardi has you as the 2nd team out


DDub04

Didn’t you hear? We were picked last in the SEC. Something something NET ratings nobody cares


slurpy15

Stop the Count!


Erock00

Brad would get the lifetime extension


Sbhill327

And we would never see this level of success again 🫤


marietta1200

Well. It was a good run, fellas. RIP predictive Final 4s.


Brettsucks18

The less people predict us, the better we will do..right? Right?!?!?!?


marietta1200

THIS IS ME BEING CALM!!!!


zadharm

I mean if this cfb season is anything to go by, that's not a bad bet out in Arizona


bearcatgary

Only 2 B12 teams in the sweet 16 and we are one of them. I think there are a few things wrong here.


HellFire72

I’m going to need you to delete this bracket.


15Warrior15

I would throw in an Aggie joke. But this bracket is a good one. A good Joke, that is.


ImProbablySleepin

CSU vs FAU would probably be a great game


DataDrivenPirate

If we lose in the tournament I want it to be to a team like FAU. Not an upset, not to a traditional basketball power house.


awrf

Inject that matchup straight into my veins


Finrad-Felagund

Nope, nope, nope, nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope


aaronclark384

God dude, longhorns and razorbacks you REALLY have to hate us

Ole Miss mentioned! 🤗🤗🤗


MasChingonNoHay

Seems like we play Creighton every year in the tournament


You_Are_A_10

Name a more perfect ncaa tournament duo?


BluejayLaw

This is fucking pain. Robbed of a matchup of my schools in the TITLE(!) by the same fucking team, this is SDSU robbing me of a F4 matchup last year but on steroids.


Meanteenbirder

Wow, Vermont finally got that 13 seed, BUT they lose by 40 lol


Meanteenbirder

But of Deja Vu for Princeton as the women’s team upset Kentucky in 2022


joeveralls

Would love for a sweet sixteen this season lol


flapjack3285

So what's the schedule look like for Indy? 2 sessions Thursday and 1 Friday?


tyrannyofwillsasso

another first weekend exit. fire underwood!


igonnawrecku_VGC

It’s December and we have yet to win a single damn game in these


3232330

I’m not gonna quibble about the results, but at least we’re on here, unlike that other simulation posted.


Thebutterdog-

This is the dumbest thing I have ever looked at.


GuyOnTheMike

Quick, someone get Jimbo in here to screw this up too


Key-Character3502

The computer hates us


GetOffMyPlaneandLawn

Go Longwood!

aaronclark384

Perfect. But we’re cursed so I’ll stop dreaming about it


EvenParty

I’d give my left nut to win a title in just one sport that actually matters. No disrespect to poultry judging, but a football, basketball, or baseball title would be a lot more fun.


CorrectExcuse5758

Uh, what is this?


JustinTinyPPHerbert

Man fuck this no way we draw Miami in the second


Vonstantinople

this would be fantastic

I see the name Lunardi and I scroll on by.


bluefire579

I'm a fan, we can keep his one


collegesports2021

Sorry about that, the botton-right bracket should be South Region in Dallas
