Elite Eight Thread (non UConn games)

LOL at the decision to go to the hoop with Edey in the paint.

SFS.

That was a Terrence Shannon type decision by Connect.

 

[REB1094]

Great game by Knecht but trying to take a layup over Zach Edey in a must-make situation was.........a choice

 

[EnochRoot]

That timeout was a play too late, Rick.

 

[EnochRoot]

Edy is a mature Clingan meaning his experience shows. Clingan next year would also be POY candidate but....

Clingan is currently a mature Clingan. Edey doesn’t even have a third of the range Clingan does. What Edey has is more polished post moves and two inches.

That’s it.

There were no schools from Jersey in the tourney this year, so Perdu pretty much had a clear road to the final four. Hurley is from Jersey

 

[jibsey]

We have 2 real big and 10 fouls for Edey

That’s it.

He also has three refs backing him up

I still feel like Purdue was given a very easy path to get this far.

 

[jrazz12]

Bring it

 

[Ripper32]

He scored 40 of their 72.

Who has better shot vs Purdue, NC St or Dook ?

 

[AntG168]

UConn Vs Purdue for it all would be theatre.

Thats all.

 

[superjohn]

Who has better shot vs Purdue, NC St or Dook ?

We're looking at a UConn Purdue title game.

 

[Ripper32]

Who has better shot vs Purdue, NC St or Dook ?

Duke. They can get hot from perimeter.

 

[kobe]

clingan is america's last hope. we simply, as a nation, cannot allow this goof to be a national champion.

 

[BigTenFan]

Painter finally got it done ...with the help of Edey. Great season in West Lafayette!

I am going to hate hearing about Purdue's redemption tour.

Let’s spoil it.

 

[Rocktheworld]

Painter finally got it done ...with thanks to the refs

FTFY

 

[DaMuttzNutt]

I am going to hate hearing about Purdue's redemption tour.

Wtf. They have one more before they would play the champs who are destroying opponents. A team with the other great big but a much better 1-4
And bench and coach

Honestly, there is no real “redemption” from losing to a 16 seed.

Rick doing what he does. Hes the reason i had Purdue over Tenn. Three certainties in life, death, taxes and you cant win with Rick Barnes.

 

[gsmooth]

Okay let's turn the faucet back on to let UConn's 3 pointers go in for the next 2 games. UConn will need them.

 

[EastConn'er]

Knecht and Edey were great today! Both showed why they're among the best in the game.

You're going to hear a lot more about UConn
