They didn't deserve to be there in the first place -- they were Kings of the Cupcakes.

Ohio State, Gonzaga, Butler are some pretty tough cupcakes huh? Hopefully they don't continue in this slump. There's still hope!

I don't think Purdue or Minnesota.... really cared who they have beaten..

none of this means anything...........here's something everyone can agree on........let's see how they attack and win the game......just like it should be

It's bewildering how we can beat 2 of the top 10, and 3 of the top 15, and still appear to be overmatched against Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Northwestern...  How does that happen?  How does a team forget to play as a team that quickly??
