Didn’t realize Illinois hasn’t been to a sweet 16 since their 2005 run with Bill Self recruits. Congrats to them but puts into perspective how great we’ve been when we take the sweet 16 for granted!
2024 NCAA Tournament - Second Round Games
- Thread starter Purdue Grad in Texas
- Start date
I thought they called it on the reach in from the other player. Which explains the early call as well. I might be wrong though.
Creighton is putting up numbers like that Marshall women's conference tournament game when they went 8-46 from 3.
Carr
Hunter
and now Abmus
Texas, where good guards transfer to get worse at basketball.
Not a good look for their coach in recruiting IMO, but hey I'm sure they all walked away with some nice NIL cash.
The favorites won every game yesterday, including one victory by a slightly lower seed (Gonzaga).
Yeah - Buffs came out well in the second half to eliminate a lot of the separation - good up/down pace. Turnovers were a problem for Colorado in the first half.
Fourth foul on Marquette's Kam Jones might be big.....Marquette up 5 after Colorado took a brief one-point lead. Buffs not going away.
Kolek can play - really crafty in the paint. Let's see what you got, Colorado. Under a minute, down three @ 79-76.
Shaka and Marquette movin on to Dallas! Good win over a game Colorado squad.
Cheers, Lenny.
Cheers, Lenny.
I like Shaka too, seems like a genuine dude
Stop him going LEFT. Still be good, just not great.
Thought Van Gundy was going to have a coronary over that.....haha. But, he was right.
Have taken Baylor out of its offense a little and getting in the paint - Baylor might have a run in them, but it might not be their day.
Winner gets Arizona in Los Angeles on TH.
Alabama is a fun team to watch.
If they beat Grand Canyon, Purdue will move to 7-0 against Sweet Sixteen teams (with Northwestern still to play UConn).

No one wants to admit that Northwestern would have had a punchers chance before injuries. No Ty Berry and no Nicholson, they really have no chance against UConn.
Good team, but not good enough to lose two starters and hang with UConn
Meh I dunno. I think UCONN still rolls them. Only reason they hang with us is they have the one thing we struggle with sometimes, shifty players off the pick and roll.
But obviously those injuries are pretty hard to overcome.
Boo Buie can’t do it himself. If they had Berry, I’d give them a 20% chance.
If they had the team that beat us in Evanston, maybe a 35% chance
Right now? Maybe at 5% and after the first few mins, zero
Boo looks like he wants to involve everyone but unless he goes crazy from deep like he did against Purdue, this won’t get closer lol
Hall fouls out for Clemson....ouch. But then Baylor misses two tying FT's.....wow.
Then the quick three-launch down four - don't understand that......now Clemson can just about seal it.
Don't look now, but the ACC has four teams for next week:
North Carolina
Duke
Clemson
North Carolina State

Very impressed with UConn’s D, but I would love it if Purdue gets a shot at them.
If the win it all, most won’t be surprised. I think they get tripped up somewhere. Northwestern down two starters isn’t it
Good lord uconn looks like a juggernaut. Their pick and roll defense is the best I have seen all year. Offensively their slips and cutting is very impressive as well.
Their center is massive and athletic. Looks like the only person in college ball who could match up with edey.
Should purdue be fortunate enough to get to the title game probably will be against uconn. What a titantic clash that would be.
