I’m a worrier. I always worry. NC State shouldn’t scare me but they do. Of all the teams in Phoenix, none are playing with more freedom and house money than they are.
They have absolutely nothing to lose at this point and I worry they’ll hit a couple early buckets, get all happy & confident, Purdue misses 2-3 consecutive shots, will get tense, commit a couple stupid TO’s and they’ll go up by double digits before the second TV timeout.
Throw in the fact they’re an 11-seed…
man, I hope I’m so off base here that the Boilers make me look silly for ever doubting them. I do have confidence that CMP will have put together a solid defensive scheme to contain Burns.
I’ve seen some chatter elsewhere that “Purdue (Zach Edey) hasn't seen anyone like DJ Burns”.
Well… yeah they have: Zach played against Trevion Williams in practice for 2 years. Same savvy moves, passing skill and similar body type…. I think ZE will be fine.
Ok, I have talked myself off the ledge. 😎
