The NCAA Tournament Thread

[bamafan]

UCONN has out Coached , outplayed and made Purdue look like a team that might finish just above DePaul in the BE . Painter never got his offense moving . Didn’t take the ball out of Smith’s hands who was over matched against Newton and Castle.

Painter had no answer to adjust his game plan when Edey proved to be human .
Braeden Smith is a awful PG . Painter’s record in the NCAA’s is just awful . Might cost him his job sooner or later .
Losing to St Peter’s and FDU in the last 2 years and getting blown out tonight doesn’t get it done .

So a fan of a team that hasn’t won an NCAA T game in a quarter of a century thinks the coach of a team that won 5 NCAA T games in this season alone and loses the championship game to an acknowledged powerhouse and two time national champion should lose his job. Congrats you have overtaken Maher for top lunatic on the board but don’t worry by the looks of things this race is far from over. . PS. Just funnying everyone hope no one takes offense.

Does Hurley have turrets. His mannerisms are so odd.

If this game ends the way its going, the BE will have won the National Championship, won the NIT, and have its two other tourney teams make it to Sweet Sixteen. The 6 Mountain West Conference teams making the tourney over SH and SJU looks great.

Maybe you meant turtles but it is Tourette syndrome

Fouling down 13 might mean you East Coasters don't get to bed before midnight

Damn, UConn is so well coached, they break the press the same way like clockwork, with that little lead pass after entry and then up to half court

Turtles do have thin skin

As the game winds down….. once again after UConn dominates Purdue and holds them in the 50 point range, let’s not forget the Johnnie’s put up 90 points on the huskies in a 5 point loss. And that’s why this entire tournament is complete BS!!!!!

Screw the selection committee and a weak Big East commissioner who has not upheld the credibility the league once enjoyed.

It's Human Victory Flag time!

If only there were a team out there that proved it could play UConn tough . . .

I hate UCONN
If Clingon doesn’t shoot that last layup I win $10k

 

[vegasman2000]

So if Purdue finishes 34-5 with dominating 7’4 two time player of the year Zach Edey but they lose by more than 5 points to UConn there will be lunatics on here that will insist that makes us the second best team in the nation because we lost that game by 5 points.

We are, that is just science

Wasn’t long ago when UConn had 3 straight losing seasons in the AAC. Excuse me while I

Purdue was pressing from the under 8 and UConn looked like the Harlem Wizards playing my high school teachers.

 

[bamafan]

Yes the science of psychology specifically lunacy.

If only there were a team out there that proved it could play UConn tough . . .

Xavier?

 

[Alex9045]

Until they got a bit into the second half Uconn was playing Edey straight up and not leaving anyone alone on the perimeter. I think it’s as much really good defense by uconn.

Purdue gave up many looks from 3 to feed Edey inside. Were they wide open? No, but they got afraid once the first few attempts didn't go in.

Back to back tournaments where their average margin of victory was over 20.

Just insane stuff from Hurley and co the last two years
