Re: Pat forde has good breakdown

Sweet 16 sounds good.

Best Case: Panthers' diligent interior defense frustrates Purdue's big men, and when the Boilers aren't making shots from the outside they're forced into a slow-down game that's won by UNI in an upset. After Mississippi State upsets Washington, Iowa's best basketball program beats the Bulldogs and magically appears in the Sweet 16. Missouri Valley Conference commissioner Doug Elgin takes that opportunity to remind America that Creighton got screwed out of an at-large bid in favor of yet another middle-of-the-pack team from a glamour league.

Worst Case: Team that couldn't score against Marquette (43 points) and Iowa (46 points) can't score against the Boilermakers, either. An 18-point first half results in a 20-point deficit, and it's all over but the handshakes. The Panthers are overmatched athletically and can't do anything about it. Missouri Valley carping about being a one-bid league falls on deaf ears.

I always liked Pat Forde. He really knows his stuff.
