Can Purdue rise up to the challenge of a Gonzaga team playing at a very high level. How many times have they come up short in these spots?

Not surprisingly, Gonzaga came ready to play. Mark Few is such a good coach. Purdue playing pretty well, but they’re somewhat neutralizing Edey. Gonna be a good one.

They just can't put the ball in the hole. If the shoot the way they are capable in the second half, they'll be fine.
They've been effective in limiting Burns, but at the expense of his teammates making up for it. I suspect Burns will add some to his four first-half points. Wolfpack is focused.

Can only watch box scores right now. Surprised so few fouls in the Purdue Zags game, and only 2 FTs for Edey so far

Edey w/ good post moves, Cliff who is by far more athletic could not develop a post up game, does not compute.

Sometimes you just need your opponents to go ice cold to help you to a run in the tournament it’s that simple.

Nc st opponents 23 of 97 from 3. Clemson opponents 14 of 75.

Marquette just too small to handle NC State if they were going to shoot that poorly from 3

Purdue is rolling

2 Big 10s in Elite 8

2 ACCs in Elite 8

1 SEC and 1 Big East but one will add one

The vaunted Big 12 only hope is Houston tonight

Still despise duke. Haters hate.

Marquette and creighton had no business in S16. They beat only double digit seeds. Creighton did that last year as well.

Juggling between the padres game and these two games.

Turned off the Vols Creightin game after the 18-0 UTjr run. What the hell happened? How did that game get close again?

Some comments here did not age well.
Duke was tougher than Houston.
Maybe UH wins with Shead, but because of his offense.
