Elite 8 Thread

[navery12]

Can somebody tell me why the Italian kid was shooting what looked like technical free throws and the camera was focused as if Perkins had done something? I missed it.

The 2018-19 Huskies might not have broken 30 against this Tech team.

Perkins got a technical for reaching over and fouling the guy inbounding the ball

A school like texas tech doesn’t deserve to win a ring. only powerhouse basketball programs win a ring. and the best of the best win 4. no flukes allowed.

Beard, a few years at Texas Tech and 2×Big 12 COY with an elite 8 and and final 4 in his pocket, unreal. Bobby Knight is the jerk of all jerks but he clearly has an eye for talent.

3 out of 4 of the guys on shift including me just watched the numbers of this game hit and evaporate in the last 21 seconds. Then another guy at home who needed a point watched the purposed brick that would have given him $400 - lol

 

[superjohn]

Middle school teams have more sense than to reach over the baseline and foul the inbounder.

That was somehow even worse than Webber. I've never liked Perkins.

 

[the Q]

I thought they said it was a flagrant 1

It would’ve been a tech if he hit the ball and not the player

If Purdue faced Tech, or Auburn in the Final, I'm not sure a Wichita - Texas NIT Final wouldn't be a more glamorous game.

 

[Jaker]

great game

Tech/flagrant, whatever they called it. He got the idea of what happened

At least auburn is exciting. Biggest yawn fest and lowest ratings wud be a Purdue Texas tech final. Awful. Hate those boring big 10 teams. And tech is a boring big 12 team. Yawn. Only two exciting teams left (besides puke) is auburn And Kentucky- And they are playing each other

Virginia/T-Tech would be 40-39...

 

[Jaker]

I kind of like this T-tech team, plays good all around b-ball

Whats up with ppl? Unless you Cheer for uk or duke seeing new teams is more interesting rather than seeing the same ol same ol.

Plus Purdue has been fun to watch so far.

I really like their center Haarms. You rarely find 7’3 kids who move like that.

Yeah, Purdue-Tennessee was a total snooze! lol

 

[UconnU]

Were we ever involved with Wheeler? He grew up in Stamford, played for Brewster.

 

[Robertelamin]

Purdue is probably the best offensive team left.

 

[Jaker]

Haarms reminds me of Jake Voskuhl

No.

 

[ASweet3781]

Must be nice to have guys on your roster where the 3 point shot is like a layup.

 

[Jaker]

I am beginning to think Mark Few does not have what it takes as a coach to win the NC. Hes had some serious talent walk through his doors.

You feast on a weak conference schedule every year and it catches up with you in the big dance. History has shown it time & again.

 

[JB75]

How is Purdue boring?

Purdue has always been boring. Just like Wisconsin - maybe this years team is a bit more exciting with Carson Edwards but Purdue is still Purdue. Not a team that really makes eyes pop. Hate big 10 teams. Lol. Last exciting big 10 team was fab 5.

 

[JB75]

But they always do well in tourney. Just like Wisconsin and Michigan st. That’s all that matters - just from a selfish standpoint- those teams are just not who I want to see in final 4. However I did like that frank Kaminski - Sam dekker team that lost to duke a few years ago
