Elite Eight Thread (non UConn games)

[Ripper32]

Estrella shouldn't be on the floor but foul trouble happened.

 

[tzznandrew]

Lmao at that chuck from Edey

..that time he was actually fouled, but the refs didn't call it...

 

[superjohn]

Not overlooking Alabama in any way , trust me, but I think UConn can beat Purdue. UConn's A game is better than any other team's A game. Having said that, if UConn were to play Purdue, UConn will be playing a road game. UConn won't have the UConn-partisan Boston crowd to help them

You think UConn can beat Purdue. You're really going out on a limb there, lolz.

I think we recruited him too. We are lucky not to get him and Timberlake. They are awful lol

 

[jibsey]

I don't know how Tennessee is still in this game. The guy on Edey is close to a walk on.

McCain averages 14 and 5 rebounds on 41% from three as a freshman. He's a first round pick this summer and is getting some lottery buzz, he's absolutely a high end player.

Its subjective. His NBA buzz means little to me when determining a high end college player. I’m thinking a guy who makes an All American team or an All Conference team. Did he make all conference in the ACC?

 

[Ctedgeman]

This tourney has had an abnormally high amount of annoying commercials that play at every break

I don't know how Tennessee is still in this game. The guy on Edey is close to a walk on.

He's giving up 60 pounds too.

 

[jibsey]

39-21 rebounding?

 

[Ripper32]

It's Knecht vs Edey. Let them play 1 on 1.

 

[bendm]

I reconsidering this, rather play Purdue.

Huh?? clingan foul trouble is our Achilles heal and Edey is the one guy in the country that can single handedly get Clingan into foul trouble

 

[superjohn]

Connect is ridiculous

 

[phillionaire]

So is Big 10 Commissioner Tony Petitti.

Yeah but the big 10 commissioner didn’t come out the first day of the tournament and say more middling p5 teams should make it over good mid major teams

 

[IndyLives]

Danny should double team Edey if he's in the post. Make him uncomfortable. Uconn has the depth to do this and quick enough to switch to outside shooters. Letting him get in a rhythm is a mistake

 

[AntG168]

Didn’t we recruit Estrada on Tenn?

 

[superjohn]

This game is living up to the billing

 

[aceboon]

Knecht is getting to his spots, he's gotta knock these middies down

 

[87Xfer]

and Awaka fouls out.

 

[EnochRoot]

LOL Edey is falling into Awaka and it’s a foul on Awaka cuz…

 

[jibsey]

Knecht is getting to his spots, he's gotta knock these middies down

tough when you get fatigued

 

[Doctor Hoop]

I just don’t know how you play against this kid. The fact that he has zero fouls in a game this physical seems insane to me but it’s every game.

Edey is so annoying to watch. Ive watched 7 games of theirs this year and its amazing what he gets away with.

What game are you watching? TN is grabbing, holding him all game,

I'm not the only one. Look, he's big, but he just bull-rushes his way to the basket like a DT rushing the quarterback. If you try to hold your position the foul is on you. Shaq did this too, particularly late in his career when he was less mobile. Like Edey is now.

I don't know how Tennessee is still in this game. The guy on Edey is close to a walk on.

Estrella was the 5th ranked center on Rivals, he's not close to a walk on

 

[upstater]

Tennessee is a much better defensive team than Purdue.

With a normal shooting night, Tennessee wins this game easily. Tenn is simply not hitting its open shots. Ziegler is not going to have another horrible game like this.

This is why I'd rather play Purdue.

Purdue is not as good defensively, and Castle, Newton and Karaban will be able to drive on them all day.

 

[mjmoney23]

The whistle Edey gets is ridiculous.

 

[gsmooth]

How Purdue only has 3 fouls is a mystery to me
