Friday 1st Round (non-UConn games) thread

[gsmooth]

Not any more

U know who else will be happy with this result? Arizona. Nobody will talk about their loss to Princeton. Purdue essentially said “ hold my beer”

 

[Doctor Hoop]

Big East 4 and 1 on the night. Not too bad.

 

[UCTitleTown]

Just LOL'd at video of Edey trying to defend those little FDU guards. They should be criminally charged with Giant Abuse.

 

[Bomber36]

Lol…couldn’t be happier to see PC lose.

 

[REB1094]

Providence averages 22 free throws per game. Tonight they shot 11

I feel like we all knew for a very long time that their playstyle wouldn’t translate to March, but a month ago I wouldn’t have thought it meant a first round exit

Big East 4-1 in the first round

Big East 4 and 1 on the night. Not too bad.

Especially when some posters said the Mountain West was as good or better.

 

[gsmooth]

Pretty ignominious end to the year for Providence. Get blown out by us and a late comeback falls short. Then basically behind the whole time here.

And now the hand wringing on what,Ed Cooley will be doing

 

[Doctor Hoop]

Yeah, the Big 10's number 1 just lost to the NEC's #2.

Merrimack won the conference tournament, but wasn't eligible to go yet this year. Unbelievable. Hard to believe Purdue finished 1st in the conference and won the tournament.

 

[Sole]

Come on Drake !!!

 

[BugsyCT]

Zero Final Fours since 1980. And they’ve been a high seed many times.

 

[Ripper32]

Surprised Tshiebwe got 25 boards.

I will take it or sure. Although I really wanted 5-0

 

[SoFla Steve]

Come on Drake !!!

That's another of the upsets I picked. I haven't been right yet.

It was unreal what he was doing. His hands are like velcro

I don't know why everyone seems to think Merrimack would've beaten Purdue.

 

[phillionaire]

Acc outside of duke (blech) looking like butt

 

[Ripper32]

Miami isn't moving. Playing static iso. They should beat Drake.

I think they've known for a while their coach quit on them.

 

[HooperScooper]

This Purdue game is going to look similar to the UConn game I bet

Lol

 

[UCTitleTown]

Just LOL'd at video of Edey trying to defend those little FDU guards. They should be criminally charged with Giant Abuse.

To add, note quite Kemba vs McGhee, but damn funny to watch.

 

[HooperScooper]

Tobin Anderson walks it like he talks it. What a win.

Went to Wesleyan btw. I was eating at a bar and the guy next to me was rooting for FDU because he went to Wesleyan with him.

no matter how u slice n dice it, even if Ed Cooley ends up staying, the swirling rumors did nothing to help the PC players, SMH

PC was terrible for the last few weeks.

Interesting stat from the game, the benches from both teams combined for a whopping 3 points. Ack.

 

[mussels]

St Peter’s, Princeton, and now Farliegh Dickenson. Must be something in that Jersey Water.

Hurley grew up drinking it so I like how this story is going.
