UConn just went on a 30-0 run vs Illinois. It was 23‐23, then it was 53-23.

The UNC coach said about beating MSU, "we found a play they didn't stop and just kept running it" sounds like a similar situation.

Ken Purdue hang with UCONN?

[NigelUno]

I think they said UCONN has won 9 straight NCAA games by double digits, and the only other team to do that was...MSU.

Also, the only time UCONN ever lost in a final four they made, was one glorious night down in Detroit. We were pulling receipts out of our pockets the next day to figure out where we had been.

if they're playing Purdue in the championship, I might stay up to watch.

Headed to the mountains. Where am I supposed to go for eats?

Waffle house? Walmart?

message me.

I can provide you some good places in downtown Waynesville.

I could possibly get you a tour of the Bobby Sak Historic Homestead.. sold my parents home of 45+ years in 2019.

I'm so damned conditioned to just finding NCAA games streaming it dawned on me the days of watching the Elite 8 last night the Kalamazoo CBS affiliate wasn't broadcasting Purdue so I flipped to TNT on MAX.

Today again both games weren't on broadcast so I watched UConn and Alabama's games using MAX.

Tomorrow CBS is doing Purdue-Tennessee and Duke-NC State.

I think we are about 3-4 years removed from a $49.99 NCAA PPV package

[NigelUno]

51 fouls called when Purdue played Tennessee earlier this year. I think they let them play today.

Go Big Orange.

[AvgMSUJoe]

Am i the only one who is ok with Purdue winning? Its not like msu was in neck and neck with them for the championship. They were clearly better. Yeah the refs couldn't call an Edey game fairly, but thems the breaks when you're playing a freak of nature.

I mean I think people are against the boilers because they get that favorable whistle. Not their fault. They really don’t have any guys on their team that you can say, “what an ass”.


So, I don’t know why I want them to lose but here’s a wish they do.

[NigelUno]

Will be watching the game at my brother in laws. He went to UT. Go Big Orange!

[Heat Miser]

Final Fours:
Purdue 2 (1969 & 1980) zero championships.
Izzo 8

That's why I want them to lose. Basketball school with no real hardware to show for it.

[DWags]

Free throws 19 to 9.

It gets tiring watching this.

Tennessee only down 1 pt.

[tGreenWay]

Seems like the only way Matt Painter gets to the F4 was to play a team coached by Rick Barnes. Two tournament coaches who’ve routinely done less with more.

Most unlikable Final 4 ever?

Is the fat guy playing Edey? That'll be fun.

[GRR Spartan]

Eddy was held, hooked and sometimes got hugged by defenders and the ref’s swallowed their whistles.

Tennessee had a game plan and it nearly worked.

Purdue ruins everything. It's a terrible Final Four largely because of Purdue. Alabama gets some of the blame, too.

As far as "blue bloods" go, UConn is very tolerable. NC State has that kid fan who flips off refs, so they are fine.

[Zurn]

Ken Purdue hang with UCONN?

I would like to see a Eddy - Klingon matchup

[DWags]

Purdue *5.5

O/u 146.5

ML UConn -200
Purdue + 260

Looking forward to it.

Two giants that play exclusively around the basket...it doesn't sound very modern.

[Travis of the Cosmos]

My family’s pool (there’s a trophy at stake here, no money. But a trophy.) is between me and my brother. He has UConn winning it all, if they do he wins. But if they don’t I win.

But that would mean rooting for Purdue. I don’t think I can do that. Nor should I.

I put $25 on Purdue to win. But it's one of those bets where I get my $25 back in funny money even if they lose.
