Well – Purdue may have just had the weirdest situation of playing great, winning their game, and getting passed in the seed list anyways.

Eric Hunter Jr hit some big three pointer for Purdue, helping them advance to the Big 10 final with a 75-70 victory over Michigan State.

However, as I was celebrating that Purdue was going to play in the championship tomorrow, the Tennessee Volunteers beat Kentucky in the SEC semi-finals 69-62. Both Tennessee and Purdue were tied for 9th in the AP poll, but beating Kentucky is clearly a more impressive victory than Michigan State. Both great wins, but Kentucky still had a chance to be a 1 seed. Not any more.

Meanwhile, completely overshadowed by the Big 10 and SEC, Richmond continued its attempt to destroy any bubble teams in the Atlantic 10. The Spiders came back from being down 13 to beat Dayton 68-64. If Richmond can beat Davidson tomorrow, the Spiders will shrink the bubble by stealing the Atlantic 10 bid.

It is fun seeing Richmond do well – and obviously I am happy the Boilers won. If I can get the bracketology close to finished tonight, that will make it a truly awesome day for the Lunatic
