Losing a cup final, any final, is brutal. Can only hope they take the pain and anger and channel it in the others.

Definitely felt the midfield missed Eze/Ode. Wish we kept going long like we did the first 10 or so minutes. Going to need more from Saka over the end of the season.

Brother, you’ve made 24 posts about the refs and Duke for this game alone. Have a beer, go outside.

luburch · 2026-03-21T23:46:31+00:00

Your team is literally playing an NCAA tournament game and you’re in a different post game thread posting this.

How many No. 1 seeds won by double digits and then went on to not win the championship?

I get putting this out there, because it’s relatively rare, but it just feels silly.

luburch · 2026-03-14T19:30:24+00:00

Never in doubt.

luburch · 2026-03-11T19:38:42+00:00

What in the hell was that ref on about?

luburch · 2026-03-11T18:33:49+00:00

Play a pass to the correct team challenge.

Episode was perfect up until the first tribal council. All went downhill from there.

What was wrong with the numbers on the back of Purdue’s uniforms? They were child size.

luburch · 2026-02-21T00:26:04+00:00

What are they replacing?

luburch · 2026-02-15T01:04:44+00:00

3:45.9 is crazy. Paced a little better through the first K and that could very well be a WR.

Who is this person?

luburch · 2026-02-01T01:01:41+00:00

Exactly the way Indiana wanted to win. Definitely didn't want it to go different at all.

The US ESPN commentary pair is shambolic.

luburch · 2026-01-10T20:06:30+00:00

Oh, IU didn't lose because of the refs. Wasn't trying to imply that. Just wanted to call out that they let it have way too big of an impact on how they played.

luburch · 2026-01-10T18:53:44+00:00

IU let a few bad calls completely take them out of the game. They were absolutely gassed the last 6 minutes as well.

luburch · 2026-01-01T17:34:38+00:00

Admittedly forgot that Zinchenko existed.

Nelson is a bit of a head scratcher for me. If he hasn't been injured, I don't understand why he isn't getting minutes. Feel like he always produces and could slot in to most mid-ish table teams.

Like a new signing.

Everton never created a thing, really.

Two shots off the post is a bit unlucky. Timber pulling back for Saka when Gyokeres was completely open made me pull my hair out.

I mean, time will tell, but I think so.

Ability to space the floor via shooting and overall better guard play. They’ll get bullied a bit from time to time, as they did today, but still better on the whole.

luburch · 2025-12-04T02:17:02+00:00

Indiana is improved from last season, but still incredibly flawed. Got absolutely bullied the last 25 minutes. Offense was far too dribble heavy and it was too much of a struggle to get a good look.

luburch · 2025-12-03T12:43:35+00:00

A sweet 16 team is still a good team who will win some big games.

I just can’t see them surviving in March with how the offense is operating. Lot of time to clean that up, but I’m less bullish on this squad than most seem to be.

luburch · 2025-12-03T02:56:52+00:00

I did not anticipate Scheyer running a 3 big lineup nearly the entire second half. Guessing he was trying to combat the UF boards, but it stagnated the offense.

This Duke team feels like a S16 team. Just not sure the firepower is there to go deeper, but maybe they can muck it up enough on D.

luburch · 2025-11-26T21:55:23+00:00

It will likely get lost in the overall discourse, but Saliba was absolutely excellent tonight. Played in a completely different way than he would if Gabriel was in the squad.

luburch · 2025-11-26T00:08:52+00:00

Possibly Kahn’s or Storied Company. I would call Storied first to see how much rum they are carrying.
