The NCAA Tournament Thread

They could have just replaced this game with Edey vs. Knecht one on one

Dalton Knecht, another great portal find from N Colorado for Tenn

Still don't get why his name is pronounced with the K though.

Memo to Pitino: Go West, old man. Or Midwest. Or High Plains. Whatever. You get the idea.

We prefer Heath Orvis types

Edey gets Duke like benefit of doubt

2 fine teams…

Edey gets Duke like benefit of doubt

Benefit of the doubt and the certain and the maybe.
but I am rooting for the Bols.

23 FT attempts for Purdue v 9 for Tenn

Size still counts despite my preaching about guards

Credit Edey for playing ton of minutes

Happy for Edey. Hadn’t watched him much this year, he has put in a lot of work. His reaction to that last block was great!

Well at some point size is a difference of kind rather than a difference of quantity

heading for the battle of the giants..at this point I would like to see UCONN vs Purdue…

great game for Knecht, but in last 5:30, seemed every play was set for him, exception Ziegler layup. don't like that strategy, have seen that strategy a few times during this tournament and it hasn't worked. can argue worked with Eddy, but he was getting the ball at the hoop.

Edey was not a top 300 recruit 4 years ago coming out of Toronto , Canada. Painter took a chance on him and both deserve a ton of credit for the work Edey put in, Painter for the coaching and Edey for the effort.
Makes me wonder if our freshman big man will be prepared to put in the work what the improvement can be. We know that CRP will be there to provide the coaching.
Excited to see the product.

Edey gave strand of net to Gene Keady, nice touch

Duke an anomaly these days, starting 4 underclassmen.

I think this will always be them. One of the few programs that will be virtually portal immune I think.
