Luther Vandross’s version of One Shining Moment is the best version, and second isn’t close. Fight me. 

I take the original version. I love One Shining Moment but it is sad when it ends. Now it is another 7 months until college basketball comes back

Most people would be pretty pumped about that no?  

We would be sad…but we would switch seasons with you in a minute. It’s hard to win a Natty. You usually need to build a culture of success getting there a few times…or have a generational player. I know it sucks watching IU soccer come runner up so much lately but if you keep getting there you will eventually come out on top. That said I don’t think you will find safe quarters on an IU board tonight or for awhile. Its literally all most have oh here is the past because our present sucks.

This will be the first OSM I will have watched since 2002. Swore that I’d never watch one until IU had #6. 
 

I’m giving myself a one year exemption just to see if someone snuck in.

Alright now onto more important matters than discussing an inevitability of UConn winning this game and Purdue always flamming out when the pressure is on! I really felt like UConn was Thanos in this scenario and there was no Avengers! After seeing the F IU and IU Sucks chant honestly it isn't even worth our time anymore to discuss Purdue. We have more important things to talk about such as how paint dries!

Having numerous family and friends who graduated from there, I actually did want Purdue to win…for them, so they could actually experience it in their lifetime….until I saw that twitter post, then it was back to eat sh*t Purdouche. 

Half my friends went to PU. I still didn't want them to win. I could have acted like I was happy for them, but inside I'd be still pissed IU hasn't sniffed it in 22 years.

Pumped? No. Bittersweet appreciation maybe. 2002 stung for awhile. 

Perspective I think. After so much heartbreak for us it was awesome to finally slay the non-F4 dragon/demon. You guys haven’t had that same dragon historically.

The idea of Matt Painter being wet, damp or moist in any way is just….unnatural. 

I see what you did there. I honestly was going for the most mundane and boring thing we could talk about and yet you all never let me down to take it a completely different way! I didn't even think about his last name being Painter.

With all due respect, you dont win the BigTen regular season and reach the national title game without every player/position facing legit pressure.

I do agree, UCONN may be next level. But the mantra that Purdue guards can't handle pressure has kinda been dismantled all season. 

Perimeter defense won this game.

Ok, since the tournament is over, I can actually disclose my true position. 
 

It’s something I never thought I’d ever do, but yes, I was genuinely pulling for Purdue, only because the deeper the run they made, the more my girlfriend benefitted. If she were just a fan or alum, hell no. But being able to say you were on the sidelines for a Final Four and a National Championship game…that’s an experience of a lifetime, so of course I wanted her to have that. 
 

However, since she graduates in about 5 weeks, things can return to their natural order next year. 😂

100% truth, about 45 seconds into our first date, I thought “Well…I’ve officially made my last Purdue/fat chick joke”. 

Lol. 

My wife is from Illinois.  When it's right its right.

I've turned her into a hoosier though. At least when it comes to Illinois.

Ha….technically so am I. Grew up literally about 6 miles from the Wabash, so I spent just about as much time in IN as I did IL.

Southern part of IL?  There's a big difference.  My wife is from Central Illinois about 4 hours north from where I grew up.

Affirmative. Find Vincennes on the map and go just across the river.

Lawrenceville or Mt Carmel?

I'm from Washington, not too far across the Wabash.  Done a lot of fishing in that river.

Address was Lawrenceville, but went to Red Hill (Bridgeport) schools.
