Yes, you would have to think there would be a large % of KU fans at that game, probably 80% - 85%. The best scenario for Hilton South would be for KU to lose this weekend.
How far does ISU go in your bracket?

- Start date
The revenge factor, between our fan base and Monte for not getting recruited, would be off the charts.
Who other than Swanigan do they have though? Haas can't guard anyone on our team. Their guards are good but nothing great.
ISU is going to the Elite 8. After we beat KU in KC, the state of Iowa is going to annex the land surrounding the Sprint Center and gift it to the ISU athletic department
Since people love to let parts of their anatomy make bold predictions, I decided to break it down a few more steps
*Head - Sweet 16, we play two tough games, but fall to KU in KC because they are still mad about losing to us at home and shoot lights out
Heart - Final Four, I can't stand the thought of losing in the first weekend. I think we escape and then play with house money to win the next two
Gut - Elite 8, no real rationale for this, but I could see them upsetting KU in KC and then having a big let-down game versus Louisville
**** - National Champs! Cuz if I'm letting my **** make my decisions, there's no stopping us! (and not in a Baylor-y way)
Nuts - lose in first round, because they are used to the abuse
*Even if Chris Williams holds a gun to my head, I still think we make the Sweet 16

I'm an ISU homer and because of the way we've been playing this past month, I have us going to the Final Four then losing to Kentucky.
Purdue is just the kind of team that loses early in the tourney. Big and slow. I'm more concerned about Nevada. IF we face Purdue second round, I think we run them off the court.
As they say, things are never as good or bad as they seem. See the @Kansas game followed by the @texas game. We've been on a real high for awhile and we are due to come crashing down. I think Purdue gets us with their size. If not, then Kansas gets us purely out of revenge.
Also, the draw doesn't always end up as good as it looks. I loved our draw a couple years ago and thought we had a great chance to make the elite 8 or final 4, then we lost to UAB.

We have one of those, too -- we only lost to Gonzaga by 1, and that was before we put the entire team together.
