Purdue-Zona

[jrm693]

Who you got?Purdues center looks like a lumberjack not a basketball player, I thought Arizona could handle Duke or UConn and maybe they can, Purdue making plays so far.

 

[UK4Life#9]

Purdue’s Center gets on my nerves and I can’t even explain why.

 

[Kantucke_rivals]

Hope Arizona blows out Purdue, dirty hook & hold, flopping all over the place scumbags. Had no idea Purdue played that dirty

 

[Ukwazoo3]

Arizona is the best team but Purdue has been getting all the breaks. It might finally be their year.

 

[darkshadesofblue]

Remember we beat this Purdue team by 13 points. THIRTEEN. I just thought everyone needed to know..

 

[bgoad72]

Arizona getting the shaft by the refs so far.

 

[theKybluedude]

Like everything about Purdue. 4 seniors who stuck with it. Certainly a home grown team if you look at that roster. Don’t see the big nil HS guys. Even have red shirts. Real united team without the hype. Development. System. Good every year. Supportive fans. Hope they win it.

The refs are letting them play really rough.
Zona did get some bad calls.....
We don't resemble these 2 teams talent. Not even close.

 

[Kantucke_rivals]

Arizona may want to guard the 3

 

[EnglandWildcat]

I was hoping Arizona because I felt they had the best chance to beat Duke or UConn.

I swear if Purdue and Tennessee make the FF I’m gonna lose it.

 

[cornbreadnmilk]

I feel like Zona has the best shot to beat Duke so hope they get the win.

 

[Ukwazoo3]

Zona had 100+ last game. On pace for 60 something this game.

 

[EnglandWildcat]

Arizona may want to guard the 3

Seems like they have been taking perimeter defense lessons from us.

 

[megablue]

Size matters.

 

[megablue]

Surgical work by Purdue in the first stanza.

 

[HenryMuto]

Big ten could get 3 out of the final 4 ?

 

[jrm693]

Those Big10 teams are tough on defense, Arizona a finesse team...the road may end here for them if they can't run.

 

[Kantucke_rivals]

Purdue looks like the much better team. Arizona, being picked apart & totally out of sync. Actually seems the ref's aren't falling for the flopping as much now

 

[The_Catfather]

Did Tommy Lloyd spend the week looking for Chapel Hill houses on Zillow?

 

[Laparkafan]

He transferred from sd state so he might be.

 

[bbnkat02]

If Zona loses this one of my FF and title game picks are shot. Ugh.

 

[gbl97]

Purdue height is bothering AZ around the basket. Just enough to alter some shots. Go Boilers!

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

Thing is Purdue is so efficient on offense but plays at snails pace.

If you are the team that's the underdog........slowing it down is normally a great option. Limit the possessions.

 

[BBNinSCar]

Arizona is the best team but Purdue has been getting all the breaks. It might finally be their year.

We could have a Final Four with Brad Underwood, Matt Painter and Rick Barnes.

 

[CrimsonCats_rivals]

I’m really surprised how much Cluffe and the other Purdue bigs are controlling this game so far. They’re winning the rebounding battle and really limiting the inside scoring, which is critical against an Arizona team that’s been getting some notoriety for barely even attempting the 3. Combine that with Purdue making 7 from downtown themselves, and it’s maybe a bit surprising that the lead isn’t bigger than it is.

Bore city.

 

[Cowtown Cat]

I know it’s early, but sure seems like Lloyd is gonna choke away another FF shot. Purdue is dialed in.

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Popettes gonna brag about beating a final four team n preseason if this keeps up

Helps when you hit the 3! It makes the game so much easier.

 

[Kantucke_rivals]

If Bruce Pearl or Billy D takes that UNC job, our fanbase will never recover. Stick a fork in us dunzo

I agree because im one of them. I hate Mitch Barnhart so much.

 

[dynastydreamuk]

What a giant ...head hits the ground like that and he gets up and plays on.

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

Yep. Usually the recipe for an upset (not that this would even be that huge of an upset).

I still think when it's all said and done Arizona wins this.

We’re just about done, I hate to admit.

 

[BigBlue1992]

I’m amazed at how many high level college basketball players still don’t know how to guard a pick and roll. Purdue is slicing Arizona up on pick and rolls which is surprising to me.

 

[darkshadesofblue]

Why does Purdue always seem to have big burly guys with beards

 

[UKBB4Ever]

The cheat must be in for Az. Just turned it on. Az 10 free throws. Purdue 4.

I’ve read here that’s how you can tell.

I hate to say it, but I hope so. Arizona is probably the only thing keeping Duke or Uconn from another title.

 

[rivercatinfl]

The best game I've seen all year.

I wish we could talent like this.

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

yeah this was predictable lol.

Zona was never going to continue to shoot poorly lol.
