NCAA Tourney Easter Sunday Elite 8 game thread
- Thread starter ClassOf02v.2
- Start date
I’m really enjoying watching all of the great players making big shots…er, I mean all of the great offensive philosophy.
Tennessee on a bit of a run here and Purdue’s offense has stagnated. UT making their 3s, Purdue is not.
Edit — big run now…UT up 11.

Purdue up 2 at the half. UT cold only scoring 2 points in the last 5 minutes after building an 11 point lead.
Edey with one of the all time greatest tourney performances
Here's a fun fact: NC State is the only team in the Elite Eight wherein all five starters are transfers. #PortalPack
Edey is one of the best centers in college basketball history.
No one EVER compared him to Cliff.
SMH
wtf is wrong with you
I believe so. Next year, with the #1 class coming in, they will lose a few players to the portal. Duke is in a pretty unique situation in that they get pretty much who they want via high school recruitment. And they have $$$ to retain talent. So it's playing time dynamic. Top talent not only wants $$$, they want to play.
...and every other center in college basketball
Very happy for Coach Painter and for Purdue !
Painter is a terrific coach and Purdue runs a class program !
The pressure on Purdue in the opening rounds this year just as Virginia several years ago after both got knocked out in the first round as 1 seeds was immense.
Hope Purdue wins it all just as Virginia did !
Storybook ending : Edey stuffs Cam to seal the win in NCAA finals.

They are run of the mill good under Coach K nothing special
Nc State wasnt even a bubble team heading into acc tourney
they might not have been a bubble team but nobody's been able to beat them yet in this tournament
What's wild is they were tied with Louisville with about 4 minutes left in the first round of the ACC tournament
If Isaac McKneely makes a free throw with 6 seconds to go, their season is over in the ACC Semifinal.
Instead here they are.

Interesting tidbit I noticed, NC St(26-14) will be the first team ever to play a 41st college basketball game in a season at the Final 4, tying UConn with 41 overall games
**Edit, UConn(32-9) did win the title in 2011, playing 41 games, so NC St could play 42 games if they get to the title game.
