If you're Purdue I don't think you have to do anything but lob the ball to Edey all night against Saint Peter's

I was rooting for Texas, but I didn't really feel like the officiating was bad -- Purdue was pumping the ball down low all night and Texas played extremely aggressive defensively all the way up and down the court. Sometimes one team just fouls a lot more than the other.

Or, maybe the refs were just trying to save Texas the embarrassment of missing any more front ends of their 1-1s.
Ha! My only complaint is they called everyyyything inside but nothing on the perimeter where Texas plays. Just call it evenly - it wasn’t. Not unique to this game, it’s an issue in the ncaa.

It's impressive how the refs missed 3 easy calls in 2 seconds on the final possession before OT. If you don't call a foul you have to call either a travel or a backcourt, and they called nothing.

Koloko is loco good. The lack of his teammates to block out may be their downfall.

will be sad to no longer see the intensity of Big Eddie Lampkin this year

end of regulation lol. This is the same place Gronk went to school, right? You have to pull up from 7-8 feet there

wow
What a game
