Was looking at some Kenpom comparisons between us and Butler and I noticed a bit of a correlation between our wins/loses and our opponent's offensive rebounding stats. I know you are thinking, "duh, good teams always have good rebounding stats", but bear with me and see the stats below. I feel our draw is a favorable one, especially compared to previous years.

I remember my last 7 seed.

I like your chances. If you make it to that 2nd round I think you all match up pretty good with Purdue. You have some bigs that can handle them down low. Your guard play just needs to be consistent to make a run.

Finished with all the info I think you need for the game. If anybody needs more info, I can post more info. I didn't want to make it too long.
I feel better about playing purdue than butler.
I know purdue has a 7'2 Center.
