Friday 1st Round (non-UConn games) thread

[gsmooth]

A dollar, not a penny, for the thoughts of Merrimack players’ thoughts. They beat FDU, but couldn’t make NCAAT due to that stupid rule about not being allowed to be in the tourney wi,th8n 4 years of becoming D1 team

PC was never “that” good. Anyone with a brain knew it. This board spent way too much time talking about them and singing there praises this year

Who did? They are what I thought they are, a tough team that plays good defense. If you don’t show up, they beat you. But they don’t have the talent to be the top teams if those teams play well. High floor, low ceiling. UConn is the opposite.

Watching FDU try to shoot over Edey is like watching a toddler try to throw a basketball high enough to reach the rim.

Many here talked about Cooley and PC like they were something to look up to. It was silly. And is even more silly in hindsight

Purdue shooters very tight shooting 3s

 

[superjohn]

Purdue may be pulling another Purdue.

Purdue may be pulling another Purdue.

It looks like it. They are doing the opposite of what UConn did today- they are being tentative against FDU’s press

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Edey is rebounding everything but Purdue can’t make a 3. FDU is so damn quick though.

 

[UCLJ0211]

They are not completely Dickinson, but they are Fairleigh Dickinson

 

[phillionaire]

Math checks out

 

[SouleMan]

FDU throwing up bricks. Want them to fall real bad.

 

[BugsyCT]

Shortest team in Division I vs 7’3” Edey and 1-seeded Purdue and FDU is right there at crunch time? It’s must-see television.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Too much hero ball by FDU.

 

[gsmooth]

Purdue is shrinking under increased pressure of moment

 

[Bomber36]

How many games do you think Edey thinks to himself "wish I had these guards"?

Lol.

 

[Kolumbo]

FDU still leading w 3 left

 

[BugsyCT]

Purdue and Virginia must both be haunted by ghosts of tourneys past.

 

[storrsroars]

I honestly don't know what Edey's thinking some of the time. Sanogo would've scored on some of these passes into the paint while Edey doesn't move and just passes back out.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Tonight is probably the first and last time I will ever root for Kentucky.

Funny how Providence is falling back from a mediocre Kentucky team when they don’t have their home court referees protecting them.

 

[superjohn]

Purdue is tighter than...

 

[SouleMan]

Let's go FDU! Huge 3

 

[superjohn]

This is awesome!

 

[Blue Huskie]

Amazing by FDU

 

[JustbrewitMan]

FDU!!!!!!

 

[UCLJ0211]

Wow if FDU just gets a stop here…
