Rick Barnes going up against his former program and assistant, Texas and coach Rodney Terry. This is the bottom of Purdue's Region, the Midwest. The top half where if Purdue advances, the winner of Kansas/Gonzaga will be waiting. In the West, Tom Izzo attempts to get his first NCAA win against North Carolina (currently 0-4) and upset a top seed. Illinois and Iowa State appear to be on a collision course for next week in Boston.

Creighton/Oregon could be a really good one to end the day.

Purdue will play Utah State Sunday in Indianapolis - 2:40 pm on CBS.

No doubt, a very good slate of Round of 32 games. Just going to sit back and enjoy watching without any stress.

So dumb to have the first game in Salt Lake. It will be a 10:45AM start.

Saturday brunch for NCAA??? Haha.

all for TV....but yeah - don't understand that, but they wanted Carolina for start of prime time evening I guess.

 

[DrEss]

I misread this, thinking Carolina and Sparty were starting the day. But they are not of course.

[M51]

Sparty over the Heels.

Oregon keeps rolling.

JMU over Duke.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Memo to the Flyers - you may not want to let Caleb Love get in rhythm. Even getting the friendly bounces. Arizona looking good so far to get to Los Angeles with an early double-digit lead.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

If Illinois gets past Duquesne, it will be a Battle Royale in Boston with the Iowa State Cyclones. I'll be interested to see how effective they are in trying to neutralize Shannon if that's the matchup.

I can't stand Illinois, but that would be a good game.

 

[Boilermaker427]

If Oregon and Texas pulled off upsets tonight, I’m not sure if it would be a good things or we’d feel that much more pressure. I feel like both games will be close

 

[Boilermaker427]

lol never mind, Texas can’t run an offense at all. This is like 5 random strangers who aren’t aggressive playing together

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Gohlke and Townsend doing it again.....in another good one with North Carolina State. Grizzly fever!

 

[Boiler Buck]

Townsend --> TKR next year

 

[proudopete]

I wish we would get the Tennessee that’s playing tonight. Woof

 

[Steve83]

Oakland-NC State referees blowing calls.

No chance.

And, what about Texas? More turnovers than made shots in the 1st half.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Oakland had its chances down the stretch.....some poor possessions and just ran out of gas. Marquette/Colorado winner gets NC State in Dallas.

 

[PaBoiler78]

Oakland-NC State referees blowing calls.

that foul call when McConnell made that layup was an automatic bogus call, Townsend was straight up and the guy curled around him

in real time, it seemed the whistle was way early, too.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Brutal execution from the Longhorns - good heavens. 14 turnovers and counting, yet they are still somewhat still in the game down 9.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Quit jacking it, Texas.....had two possessions down four - empty trips.

 

[BoilerMaker P]

Tennessee is 1-20 from 3 and still leads by 6. Texas killing themselves with 16 turnovers.

 

[Boilermaker427]

Texas performance everytime they get close starts my gag reflex

 

[Boilermaker427]

Tennessee would have to remain scoreless for the rest of the game for Texas offense to catch them. Despite scoring 53 with 3 mins left. This game has been awful

 

[qazplm]

Illinois making the Sweet 16 means we better make it or we will never hear the end of it

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Longhorns should be going to the rack every trip - still have an outside chance here down five. Tennessee hitting a couple of threes opened more space, though.

They get stuffed more often than they get points lol

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Two-point game 55-53 @ 1:44, Tennessee ball. Here we go, folks.

Woah....what a swat!

Dude took a shot to the cajones and stopped the momentum.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

This game is not for the timid....wow.

 

[Boilermaker427]

game over. Texas can’t hit a 3 lol

 

[Boilermaker427]

Abmas with all his hype has been so underwhelming as a longhorn lol

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Didn't have to force that triple.....Tennessee looks like they'll close this out. Good battle despite the bricks and turnovers.

 

[Boilermaker427]

If Tennessee played like this against us, it would be a route.

 

[Boilermaker427]

Hero ball by a former dude. No longer a dude outside of oral Robert’s

 

[Boilermaker427]

Well now he can hit a triple lmao

 

[Boilermaker427]

Go ducks now lol

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

7/8 FT's down the stretch will usually do it. Will this be close to chalk?

Boilers and Creighton have to do their parts for that to happen - long long way to go. Could Oregon pull the upset?
