Edeys mom and dad are not together

Purdue is utterly annoying.

Far less annoying than UConn and probably the only chance at a good ending of this tournament at this point.

Agreed. But man they do some dumb shit.

But not as dumb as Rick Barnes. Rick Barnes never fails to do Rock Barnes shit. Edy didn’t have a particularly good game. Barnes just never sent anybody. At all. Just singled a dude. A foot shorter than Edy up all game long and left all the passing lanes wide open.

Zach Edy and his mom were kinda crying while embraced. (uh-oh)

Gene Keady is really elderly.

Really? I'll be rooting for them to win. They've faced some awful upsets.

Last year they lost to a 16 seed.
The year before that they lose to a 15 seed.
The year before that they lost to a 13 seed.

I can't believe the games against UConn with Clingan and Purdue with Edy in the tournament that teams won't push pace and try to make the guys run. There have been some transition attempts, but they haven't pushed pace with the post and make the big guys move. Same with the offense, they haven't done a ton to get the guy out of the post and into space. Obviously you have to have talent to challenge them, but even pulling the post out to the short corner would help.

I'ts really shocking.

No shit.

Hopefully NCState pounds Puke into crust of the planet. They'd be who I'm rooting for because Chaos.

Given what's left here's what I'm rooting for

NCState
Purdue
Alabama
UConn
God ****ing Puke.

I've said it before, but it bears repeating. Filipowski has the most punchable face in the history of basketball, second only to Grayson Allen.

My wife’s entire family is from Lafayette. The pain of that fanbase is real. So excited that they get this experience of a Final 4.

NCState has tired legs.

Both teams struggling to be crisp.

A lot of shots look like they are laboring and flat.

Not a good game yet.

This is gonna be the easiest final four run any team has ever had (Duke). 3 double digits seeds and a Houston team missing one of the top 5 players in the country.

Purdue should handle them though.

Why are you still so envious of Duke ROFL

Same for the games yesterday and the earlier one today.

State needs to keep pushing the pace

It is insanely frustrating that the other games this round have been rugby matches, but the game Puke is in has quick whistles.

I don't think it's enough to call dirty, but it is insanely frustrating.

To be clear, the answer is no rugby, but it's profoundly annoying.

Die duke die

11 seed would make the Final Four if NC State wins.

But not a crapshoot, right?

Technical on the NC State coach to save Duke. Doesn't get much more blatant than that.

Disgusting.

Refs on the bailout

And they'll get slaughtered if they face uconn, but cope all you want.

If they called that without warning him for stepping out of the coach's box, that's horse shit.

This you?

These two teams have ZERO chance against UConn or Purdue.

In the grand scheme of things, how many double digit seeds have made a final four? 6 i think? Keep coping.

Since tournament expanded in 1985, correct.

And zero to the title game

Good teams win the ncaa tournament.

If it wasn't a crapshoot, it would always be all chalk and no upsets in the first or second weekend.

You'd have to define good. Some pretty mediocre UConn teams have won in the past few decades.

Duke is done and their refs won't be able to save them this time.

Duke getting bullied by little step brother right now.

God it's nice to watch.

That broken leg bitch Flip is outta there!

**** you Tripikowski!! Go have a seat!

This is fun

UConn with another easy final 4

That's the nature of college basketball. If it was a crapshoot then a 16 seed would eventually roll their way to a final four.

At least say it's like a poker tournament, some luck to take into consideration but skill will prevail in the end.

Really only their 2014 team was pretty mediocre.

They were fairly consistently good under Calhoun from 1999 until he retired. Ollie just had a random ass run before getting shit canned.

Burns is a ****ing hippo out there throwing soft floaters in.

It's great stuff

Couldn't happen to a ****ier ****ing ****.

Burns Jr with the body positive spin move floater

What was San Diego State last year

ANd butler a few years ago.

By that metric, the Miami Dolphins would win a SB and it wouldn't be a big deal... they're "a good team".

Unlike NC State, they didn't make it to the AFCCG.

Not expecting either team to beat UConn, but Alabama and Purdue are the type of teams that could give UConn trouble given they shoot well from 3 (Purdue is the #1 and Alabama #21 in the country from 3).

Clingan vs Edey will be fun to watch.

I don't think Alabama has the personnel to match UConn, Purdue does given their guards, shooting 3s, and Edey.

2011 was ranked 10th in KenPom and 2014 was ranked 15th. That's some kind of good luck.

I think Purdue has at least a shot against UConn as I don't think Clingan will be able to stop Edey (like he can stop basically everybody else in the country) and UConn's bigs don't shoot (so they won't be able to take advantage of Edey's lack of mobility defensively).

Still wouldn't expect it though. They have an advantage at every position but Edey.

NC State is 49 in KenPom right now btw

Worst team to make a FF in that metric since 2011 VCU

They were a 7 seed in 2014 and a 3 in 2011.

I don't think if you're a 4 seed or above that it's much luck to go on a run.

UConn just had like little to no success prior to 1999 and they already have 5 titles with 3 coaches since then. There's not really a good comparison of their success vs any other program given that it's all recent. Duke, for instance, had some success before K.

Yeah I don't expect Purdue to beat UConn, but I don't think it's unreasonable to think that they can matchup well vs them or win if they play their best and UConn plays less than their best.

PORTLAND, Ore. -- The NC State Wolfpack and Texas Longhorns played Sunday's Region 4 final on a court with 3-point lines of different distances at the top of the key.

"The NCAA was notified today that the 3-point lines on the court at Moda Center in Portland are not the same distance," the association said in a statement during the Wolfpack's 76-66 win.

The error on the court, which had been used for four women's regional semifinals Friday and Saturday, was discovered prior to Sunday's game. After consulting with officials, Longhorns coach Vic Schaefer and Wolfpack coach Wes Moore agreed to continue with the game rather than delaying it for a remeasurement.

"The two head coaches were made aware of the discrepancy and elected to play a complete game on the court as is, rather than correcting the court and delaying the game," the statement read. "The court will be corrected before tomorrow's game in Portland."



Because teams switch sides of the court at halftime, there was no apparent edge for either team.

A delay would have taken at least an hour, Schaefer said, because someone from the outside would have had to be brought in to re-mark the floor, and it could have forced the game to be bumped from being broadcast on ABC.

"At the end of the day we had already played a game on it and we both won, so we just decided to play," Schaefer said.

Through five games, teams shooting on the end with the closer 3-point arc were 25.8% (23-of-89) on 3-pointers. At the end of the floor that appeared correct, teams shot 33.3% (29-of-87).

On Monday, the Moda Center will play host to the Region 3 final between No. 1-seeded USC and No. 3-seeded UConn.

It wasn't clear whether the lines would be repainted or corrected with tape, Lisa Peterson, chair of the Division I women's basketball committee, told ESPN later Sunday. The court needs to be measured professionally to determine the precise error in distance, Peterson added.

Baylor coach Nicki Cullen, whose team lost to USC in the Sweet 16, posted on social media that with eight teams at one site, the focus was on the game plan, not what the court looked like.

Baylor was 6-of-14 on 3-pointers in the second half while shooting at the end of the floor with the longer arc.

"Guess that's why we shot it better in the 2nd half," Cullen wrote.

Information from ESPN's Alexa Philippou and The Associated Press was used in this report.

Watching NC ST brings back some great memories.

That 74 championship team was incredible.

Monte Towe, Tom Burleson, David (Sky Walker) Thompson, Tim Stoddard (who would go on to pitch for Orioles.

it's kind of a shame that so many folks missed out on Thompson's first pro year. He was a high flyer but was kind of in the shadow of Dr. J.

Purdue can hang. Alabama probably can't without foul trouble / hot from 3. I'm not real familiar with their personnel, but they need to get Clingan out of the lane with some offensive movement. The KU game is a good template to beat them.

I think Bama can score on UConn if they hit their threes (they won't be stupid enough to keep driving at Clingan like Illinois for example). Don't see any way they can stop them though.

It is in Duke’s charter that they have at least one player on the roster that everyone wants to punch in the face.

There are literally opposing team message board threads about dumb Jon Sheyer faces.

I don't know WTF Illinois was doing. They're morons.

If they're going to slow down UConn and specifically Clingan, it will take pressure from the guards. I don't know WTF Barnes was doing letting Purdue get whatever passing angle they wanted to Edy, even after he passed it out and reposted. I'm not sure I've ever seen anything quite like that. Clingan isn't as good as leverage in the post, but he's a lot more mobile than Edy. And unfortunately for Alabama, UConn is really good at keeping the offense moving making it more difficult to defend passing lanes. It's a really tough ask. Especially if they're hitting from distance, UConn is a really ****ing tough out.

I think the better answer is pace and spacing. Clingan doesn't get a ton of minutes anyway (He averages in the low 20s) if you can make him run and keep those minutes lower, that would be my plan.

UConn is frightening. 30-0 run... made it look so easy.

Edey can obvious be Edey, but UConn has a guy to slow him and Purdue will need his 150% + a much better 3-point showing than they had today to even be competitive.

Purdue needs it's 90th percentile or better game to win, and that's possible. But of course, NC State first.

(The wife and I re-watched the 30 for 30 Jimmy V episode a couple nights ago and there will be no disappointment in our house if Purdue loses to that team.)

Bill Rafferty?

It'll be a small miracle if either of these games are decent.

UCONN/Purdue for the title.

If NCState had ANYTHING to go with Burns they'd be fine. Purdue is playing like shit, but doesn't matter. State can't do anything.

Purdue should be up by 15-20 right now. They are getting every single shot they want and have been all game.

Can I get a working stream for this game?

Thanks.

You can stream it on Max if you have that.

Smith is having an all time bad game for Purdue. Complete choke job.

Got you king

https://methstreams.com/college-basketball-streams/7/

He’s 0 for 6 with 5 turnovers

Glad to see these big ten chokers are letting nc state hang in the game

How did this get down voted? UConn is on a historical run. It will take a miracle on ice like upset to beat them

This was working for me.

They look like the goddamn terminator right now for sure.

You need bama to hit 17 3s tonight and they'll be right there in the mix. Seems like a very tall task but they're the best team to do so shit like that.

Burns with 3.

:facepalm:

WTF is Edy doing? He's seven foot huge and brings the ball down. Why?

He doesn't need a lot of skill at 7-4

Jesus Edy ****ing Big 10.

This is awful.

Why am I allowing myself to watch Big 10 basketball?

I'm trying to think of a more boring drone of a big man than Zach Edy. You guys got anything?

It's nothing new in the Steph Curry days of CBB of course, but all these pull up transition 3s are killing me... goddamnit at least be good at shooting 3s. :banghead:

Gheorghe Muresan?
