No need to start a thread just for some non-PSU game. Purdue-Maryland nine minutes gone, one point game.

How about this…. Duke, UNC not ranked. Villanova nowhere to be seen. Georgetown is just awful and most amazing to me… Louisville is 3-23. What has happened!

The wife is at Book Club and so no Netflix and chill tonight. It’s me, Purdue-Maryland, and further work on a power series representation that’s been driving me crazy, stymying me.

Loyer, Purdue’s #2, looks like Opie Taylor.

The infinite sum of (z^n)/n from n=1 to infinity converges to -log(1-z) for abs(z)<1. (Easy.) What is, then, the infinite sum of (z^n)/(n^2) from n=1 to infinity? Nothing has worked!

Since you’re making up the question, make up the answer.

Nice game to watch. I can’t remember watching any non-PSU games so far this year.

That was a quick first half. Purdue 28-25. Maryland missed two free throws at 0:30, you can’t do that against the good teams.

Come March there is going to be a team that wins 6 games in a row. Good luck picking that team. Seems to me there are a dozen teams to pick from!
No matter. I’ll still finish in the bottom 2% of the Tournament Pick ‘Em. I suck at poker too, apropos of nothing.

MD goes on a 28-4 run to take a 17pt lead over Purdue.

Momentum is a crazy thing. MD get hot, PUR panics and starts heaving up poor shots which feeds MD momentum. Throw in a few turnovers.

It's because you are limiting yourself to positive numbers.....try some negative numbers and see what happens...or maybe some imaginary numbers

It’s in the complex plane. Since the coefficients are real numbers it makes things so much simpler as you can do the work in the reals and it extends to the complex plane easy peasy. I solved it last night; it was just a lack of imagination that was holding me back.

Watching Ohio State-Purdue, Purdue’s put the game away with like 10 minutes left. Any team seeing Purdue for the first time, on a neutral court, is gonna have a challenge.
