Is Flippy done now, Mr leet me just bulldoze my way through , Couldn’t of happened to a better team.

@FarmerJayhawk I don’t think Jesus would have been a good basketball player. Being perfect he could never foul meaning his defense would be poor. He’d have to pass up many open shots because he couldn’t miss a shot and still be perfect. Being humble he might let the other team score and win because He was a champion for the leper, the demon possessed, the blind, the mute, the poor, they’re the ones He wanted to get better. If he played our team he’d rebound another missed three and throw it back and say try again. A ball goes off His fingertips and instead of going to the monitor He’d just tell the referee that he touched it.
-
@wissox very fair points. He also was an extremely fluid athlete that could walk on water and had an unlimited vertical!
-
@wissox But he would have no hesitation using all his powers to beat the Blue Devils, and that is all that matters in heaven and earth.
-
Man, after watching Purdue today, I am shocked at the lack whistles on those defending Edey. Constant aggressive arm bars in his back. Thought that was a point of emphasis?
-
@rockchalkjayhawk He’s the most controversially officiated player I can ever remember.
As an opposing fan I see him get away with more contact than I can ever remember. If you care to watch this from the BIG championship game two weeks ago. https://x.com/BadSportsRefs/status/1769083732101611564?s=20. We’ve seen a lot of this, trust me.
On the other hand, teams with lots of bodies to throw at Zach would rather foul him, and so Purdue fans make this the focus of their rants against the refs. He’s not a perfect FT shooter, so it’s a decent strategy, but then the FT count piles up and fans point out the discrepancy.
Also, I didn’t watch the game yesterday so not sure how it was officiated.
-
I constantly harped on David McCormick’s lack of footwork.
Watch a much bigger guy with great footwork to know what I was talking about… NC State’s DJ Burns.
It’s like he’s dancing on tiptoes out there!
GO Wolfpack!
-
@drgnslayr I’m looking forward to the Zach/DJ matchup. Boiler Up!
-
Should be epic!
-
@drgnslayr I wouldn’t mind seeing NCState win TBH, my cousin went there and they’re on the likable side of the ACC. No Bama, no UCONN in my view.
-
I’m 100% Wolfpack! Love how they handed it to Puke! Love being an 11th seed!
They can win it all. Teams get hot… They are hot!
-
@drgnslayr It’d be interesting to be a fan of them and analyze if they’re surprised (probably) or if they knew they had that potential and were frustrated at the way the regular season went?
-
I have a close friend who is a big fan and grad. Surprise isn’t the right word. She thought they should have played better earlier on in the season. Talk about a rivalry… wow. Pack fans don’t like being called “underdogs.” It’s what they always heard even after Jimmie V’s nattie. Of course… the fan base is going absolutely nuts! Beating Puke to get into the FF… couldn’t have been drawn up any better!

IMO, Burns is an excellent passer also. I haven’t see him dunk, though.

I’m so jacked for the women’s games tonight
-
@FarmerJayhawk Not sure if I ever purposely turned on a Womans game, but tonight I did, on purpose! Mulkey wore green making it easier to watch her on court antics.

That outfit is pretty tame from what she normally wears on the tournament.
-
@wissox and it’s a great double header! UConn USC isn’t getting near the buzz but also has two of the best players in America
-
@wissox did ISU change sports?
-
@FarmerJayhawk I love that they score more points in one quarter than we do in a half.
-
@nuleafjhawk honestly the whole men’s game has an offensive execution problem. There have been mostly stinkers in the tournament
-
@nuleafjhawk Not sure I catch your drift on ISU
-
Maybe I misunderstood. Were we talking football or basketball? I was thinking basketball so “Super Bowl” didn’t click with me.
-
@FarmerJayhawk I have a theory that nobody wants to hear or would agree with.

3, Aliyah Edwards is also in that class.
-
@nuleafjhawk Basketball. ISU basketball fans were tweeting after they lost that the reason is since they’re now the gods of the Big 12 it’s like every teams super bowl when they’re playing them!
-
@FarmerJayhawk NCAA scoring is way up. Offfensive execution seems to be in a better place. 8 teams averaged over 90 a game, none last year. 44 made it over 80 a game compared to 18 last year.
Apparently refs decided to call much less charging than in the past so maybe execution didn’t improve?
-
@wissox that’s my point. To me, it would make more sense to say they were everyone’s NCAA Championship game.
I guess Super Bowl flows a little better…
-
@wissox possibly! I also might just watch too much Big 12
-
@FarmerJayhawk watching! Also watching hutch juco on espnu playing for 1st, undefeated.
-
@nuleafjhawk It’s kind of a common saying in sports. It means we get everyones best shot. Funny that ISU thinks they’re that team now.
-
@wissox lol
-
Why is JuJu Watkins player of the year and not Clark?
-
@wissox because people are stupid
-
@nuleafjhawk She was runner up I just read. Could have sworn they said she was the NPOY.
-
@wissox should have been.
-
I saw juju play against KU, good but not Caitlin Clark good!
-
@nuleafjhawk lol
-
Caitlin won the Naismith
-
This thread has so many subthreads going on that following any particular one is like trying to watch a single ant in an ant farm!
-
We were just visiting! By the way, never saw an ending like the HCC gals, true miracle!
-
This game rules
-
Iowa got some Vegas whistles…
-
@AsadZ If you watch the one video on twitter the people point to it looks like it was a bad call. A different angle clearly shows the UCONN player move right into her path.
-
@wissox clearly a foul.
-
Iowa vs South Carolina is the script everyone wanted?
-
@approxinfinity every one but Iowa fans
-
@approxinfinity Yes, for sure Vegas
-
@wissox Refs were inconsistent, they let them play whole game and made that call that was so close and ended up deciding outcome.
-
@AsadZ I didn’t watch the whole game and when you really don’t care who wins you lose your outrage factor over calls being made!
