NCAA March Madness

With the NCAA brackets just coming out, it bring up all the talk about March Madness. There are three Indiana teams that are in the tournament. These teams include Purdue, Butler, and Notre Dame. Ever Since Robbie Hummel has been hurt Purdue has been inconsistent, but they are a four seed in the tournament. Butler and Notre Dame have been very impressive the past couple of weeks, and that includes in their conference tournament.

My question is do you think any of the Indiana teams can make it to the sweet sixteen this year?

I do not believe that any of the teams can make it to the sweet sixteen. With Purdue, if they still had Hummel I think they would have made it to the final four, but it is hard to play without your best player. They didn't look very impressive in their conference tournament so I think they will either lose to Siena or Texas A&M. With Butler, I don't think they are good enough to play with a major conference team. They play good against Horizon League teams, but their is no comparison to a Horizon League team to a NCAA tournament team. I am predicting Butler will lose to Vanderbilt in the Second Round. Notre Dame on the other hand has impressed me of late. They have a tough draw in the tournament though. They got the sixth seed and will most likely face off against Baylor in the second round. I do believe that Notre Dame can beat them but I am predicting them to lose against Old Dominion in the first round.
