NCAA Tourney Day 2 Friday 3/17 game Thread

[Ale Xander]

Good tourney for the Catholics so far. Marquette, Xavier, and St. Mary’s are through. Iona leads UConn at halftime. Gonzaga and Providence play tonight.

Creighton too I believe
Of the schools that are in
But many catholic schools didn’t make it, some with decent traditions (Nova, Georgetown, BC, Loyola Marymount, USD, Dayton, Saint Louis, Santa Clara, St Joe’s, Holy Cross, and SBCC all don’t make it)

Purdue putting on a real clinic on how not to break the press, just give FDU free shots at a steal for 12 seconds, don’t try to beat them down the court

Freshman guards

 

[mauf]

Feels like an important 3 momentum-wise there to end the half.

 

[Van Everyman]

WILL THIS FUCKING PERDUE GAME EVER START AGAIN?

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Am I the only one who can’t not think “Elijah Allen” when someone says Farleigh Dickinson? It’s like pine tar and George Brett.

 

[Humphrey]

They've made it to 30 in 34+ minutes.

They actually scored less in the second half; which, considering they had 4 in the first half w/9 minutes to go, seems impossible.

 

[canderson]

Grand Canyon playing out if its mind right now.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

WILL THIS FUCKING PERDUE GAME EVER START AGAIN?

It's a game of chicken

 

[shawnrbu]

FDU has no answer for Edey.

 

[CFB_Rules]

FDU has no answer for Edey.

Feels like the entire team. Like, what happens when that guy fouls out? They lose by 50?

 

[canderson]

FDUl who didn’t even technically qualify for the tourney, is up on 2 with 8 minutes left. Even if the go scoreless from here on out, what a story.

 

[Humphrey]

Quite an effort. I thought FDU was cooked at the last tv timeout.

 

[canderson]

That’s the third time a ball has bounced off a Purdue players’ head.

 

[The Filthy One]

FDU not exactly putting on an offensive clinic but somehow Purdue is worse.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

That was a foul

 

[DeadlySplitter]

This is horrific offense from Purdue

 

[BigSoxFan]

How is Purdue a #1 seed? First time watching them and I’m really curious. They are horrendous.

 

[canderson]

If Purdue had an even average guard, they’d be pretty much unbeatable. Alas their guard play is so, so bad and they have no sense of rhythm at all.

Edey is all World but in a tourney as we know, you need guards.

 

[CFB_Rules]

How is Purdue a #1 seed? First time watching them and I’m really curious. They are horrendous.

It will shock you to learn that they were by far the best team in the 2nd best league this year. They beat Duke by like 25. Basketball is strange.

 

[canderson]

No charge???

 

[HurstSoGood]

Edey is at 21/15 (7-11 from the field), and the rest of the team is 4-24 from 3. Gross.

 

[The Filthy One]

This is wild.

 

[canderson]

Saturn balls from that FDU kid.

 

[Spelunker]

This is awesome

 

[mauf]

I loved the FDU cheerleaders giving up any sense of organization and just losing their shit after that big bucket. Just a moment of real emotion.

The big 10 is garbage so not impressed.

 

[wibi]

Can they call a foul on a TV review?

 

[Time to Mo Vaughn]

If it's off FDU, it's because if the Purdue foul.

 

[CFB_Rules]

Can they call a foul on a TV review?

Not a common foul

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Can they call a foul on a TV review?

Nope

 

[Spelunker]

Can they call a foul on a TV review?

They really should: he was fouled be each guy, on both arms. But no.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

One of the many reasons why reviews suck

 

[Catcher Block]

Holy shit how long is this going to take

 

[Pablo's TB Lover]

That's ridiculous, you should be able to call a foul or at least overrule due to a hack. It should AT LEAST stay with FDU.

 

[shawnrbu]

Just make a call.

 

[Time to Mo Vaughn]

I hope they say not enough to overturn just due the justice of the play.

 

[CFB_Rules]

Gene’s 1000% right about conferences feeling much longer for the officials. They probably feel like they just had another halftime.

 

[Spelunker]

Need a makeup foul

 

[mauf]

One of the flaws of instant replay. The official got the call wrong, but also missed a foul. Letting the initial call stand would’ve been closer to justice.

 

[wibi]

Make up call there

 

[canderson]

That just offsets the clear charge not called.

 

[loshjott]

Need a makeup foul

Or make up non call

 

[BigSoxFan]

Just brick a 3 and let’s be done with this, Purdue

 

[canderson]

That Moore dude has serious hops wow

 

[Spelunker]

Holy shit

 

[Catcher Block]

He got up in a hurry. Was sure it would be off the glass first.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

I don't understand taking the last TO there.

 

[shawnrbu]

Not exactly an exciting last minute.

 

[canderson]

Aiiiiiir ballllllllll
