Apparently I'm not the only one who felt this way about last year's Hoosier team. It's not just the Purdue blood in me. No less than the Wall Street Journal had a write up last week about how last year's Hoosiers were the more underachieving team in NCAA history. I wish I could say I knew about that article before I wrote my own piece, what, Monday? I didn't, though. I only became aware of it today when I heard about it on the radio. Michael Grady also made a good point. I was ready to concede that this year was universally considered a weak draft class, but Grady pointed out that, well, who were these "weak class" guys playing against? Oh, just the rest of that group of college players. So, no, that point goes out the window. Regardless of the year, if you have two of the top five players, you absolutely have to make it further than the Sweet Sixteen. And that's not even talking about how close Temple was to pulling the upset in the round of 32. I did have something else to write about, but I'll be damned if I can remember what it was. Oh well. I guess this is all you're getting today! Comments are closed.
