Sweet 16 thread

2 of the only remaining teams I like are currently playing, Zags look good (my pre tourney pick to win it all.) Perkins with a sweet play to end the half and the refs call a ridiculous tech. Purdue up pretty big on the Vols, Aaron Wheeler from CT. Plays for Purdue.

 

[UconnU]

I’ll be pulling for the cougars tomorrow night at the bar. Hope they look good.

 

[Robertelamin]

Purdue looks good.

 

[Robertelamin]

So many missed free throws.

 

[UCDaveD]

I want a big man like Haarms on our squad so badly.

What is this about you and cougars at the bar?

Fun fact: Despite a lot of success under Keady and Painter, Purdue hasn't made a Final Four since 1980. Lee Rose was the last Purdue coach to make a Final Four, in his second season at Purdue, and he leveraged that Final Four appearance to leave Purdue and take over the head coaching spot at South Florida, which was in the Sun Belt at the time.

Times have changed.

Tennessee is getting away with a lot of fouling.

 

[UofCT]

I’m assuming that Aaron Wheeler wasn’t good enough for Ollie?

It’s remarkable how bad Rick Barnes’ teams are in March.

He was one Marcus White missed putback from never making a final four.

Refs are calling it a lot tighter when Gozanga is on defense.

Man Gonzaga FSU is fun game.

So many dunks!

Purdue couldn't miss if they tried. Barnes looks like he saw a ghost.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Gonzaga is missing a lot of free throws.

 

[Chuck]

I’ve only watched the second half of Gonzaga v FSU. Gonzaga looks bad. Looks like a team full of slow, bad shooting power forwards.

 

[Robertelamin]

I miss UConn being relevant so much.

 

[UconnU]

What is this about you and cougars at the bar?

I’m just hoping the cougars come to play tomorrow....

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Brutal free throw shooting by both teams in Purdue Tennessee game.

 

[UCfor3]

Vols are storming back.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

How do you allow a 14-0 run if you are Painter? You need a go to play just to break a run like that.

Tennessee is unconscious from deep.

 

[Robertelamin]

Great game.

 

[August_West]

This Purdue Tenn game is unbelievable

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Purdue looks scared. Painter's body language is terrible.
