Elite 8 Thread

[Robertelamin]

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.

The scored 99 points 2 days ago.

 

[the Q]

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

That team gave away a title.

The great irony. They beat Kentucky because the Harrison’s didn’t realize they were like the 4th and 5th best players on that team.

And then wth duke dead in the water their wings started jacking the ball up from all over the court rather than go to frank the tank, even if Okafor off the floor.

Stupid, selfish basketball.

Just like Kentucky.

 

[the Q]

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’d be ok with a meteor crash landing on the duke/MSU game

Not true
Purdue has had some exciting players but they also have had the big plodders that are common in the B1G
C Edwards is far from boring and Eastern is an athlete

Purdue needs the Big Dog

 

[Jaker]

great game, Virginia throwing flame throwers

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Purdue needs to play better defense or they will lose by 15.

 

[Mike Honcho]

Holy crap. Edwards just pulled a Shabazz (against 'Nova). 3 deep threes in consecutive possessions to breathe life into Purdue. Virginia keeping up, too.

 

[jibsey]

Can we get a shooter like Edwards?

 

[gsmooth]

Virginia's D is well known, but damn their offense is doing their thing. It helps that Purdue's D isn't playing that well, too.

 

[Jaker]

Wheeler is from Stamford CT??

 

[JB75]

I have to admit. This is a good game tho

 

[UConnNick]

Feel bad for the Zags.

I don't...perennial choke artists.

 

[gsmooth]

BS call against Purdue. Ty Jerome just stumbled into the defender there.

 

[Jaker]

HOw come we don't recruit some corn fed Bigs?

Queued up the track

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.

This year the conference cupcake schedule didn't even prepare them to win the cupcake conference tourney, much to the chagrin of numerous bubble teams and their fans.

How is the Purdue kid from ct not on UConn

Wheeler is the best athlete on the team, he'll be big time before for them soon.

You really have to ask?

 

[Robertelamin]

Good lord

 

[ASweet3781]

Oh get out of here with some of these 3's.

 

[superjohn]

Edwards is just ridiculous.

 

[Tex-Lager93]

Edwards is on another planet right now - and they’re still down...how?

 

[gsmooth]

Damn right he is. This reminds me of Napier and Kemba in the 2014 and 2011 tourny. Hell, he reminds me of Steph Curry right now too.
Virginia is doing their thing, too, so much respect to them.
Am I the only one that notices Jack Salk (#33) on Virginia setting moving screens.
