NCAA Tournament - Friday Game Thread

[NickZepp]

Purdue is finally using their size to go at FDU.

 

[NickZepp]

8-0 run by the Knights. Purdue lost to a 15 seed last year.

 

[NickZepp]

FDU ain't going away.

 

[WTSooner]

FDU is well coached. They came up with a game plan for this game, and they just keep on it. Fun to watch.

 

[NickZepp]

Purdue is puking down their legs a bit in this one. FDU is playing hard though.

 

[NickZepp]

Wow!

 

[StoopsBros]

IT'S GOOD!!!!

Hope they pull it out. I don't know why but I dislike Purdue

Painter?

In Blake's first year we whipped them in some holiday tourney and i've never seen a coach whine so much at the refs.

[NickZepp]

[red recluse]

damn how many times did fdu get their hands on the ball defensively in the last few minutes?

poor merrimack. lol. awesome stuff.

Purdue looked like a better team in November than today.

Games like that make this tournament what it is. And with the Portal and everything else, I think upsets like this will happen far more frequently. These 16 seeds are so much better than they used to be.

I remember Blake drilling somebody in the head with the ball while jumping out of bounds. That dude had to have had a concussion. Etwaun Moore maybe?

I'm not sure we'll ever seen an upset like that. FDU didn't even win their conference and has an average height of 6'3. Honestly that game reminded me of a lot of the OU team that lost to Manhattan that one year. Just played uptight all game and couldn't hit a shot they needed.

Interesting article about officiating and Zach Edy. I remember when Wayman and Blake Griffin were beaten up by the defenders.
