If you watch as much BIG basketball as I do you really understand why Purdue flames out early. Zach gets so many calls by these refs. We get so pissed watching these games when we play them. 15 fouls against UW in the 1st half. 16 times this season UW has committed fewer fouls in a game. People get mad at Edey, it’s really not his fault they call it like that.
-
@wissox Zach got 2 quick fouls to start off.
-
I’m going out an pick Champion, I’m going to say Hoston claims the title. They for one just don’t seem to get rattled, example last night Tech hits them hard in their come back before half - - Houston responds with a 31-5 run. I have seen how they go on runs, I think they said they have over 30-- -10-0 uns this season. they play you into their game - -their tempo, their defense just smothers you , forcing you to take some really bad shots - - -shot clock shots. They really don’t turn the ball over that much , Shead a complete player , cryer sems to be on his game - -Francis solid - -Sharp really solid - just seem they have what it takes for sure. - -I say they win this year
-
@Crimsonorblue22 He did, but they kept calling crap fouls against Badgers. Zach has mauled two shooters in the 2nd half and not got whistled. He’s still at 2 fouls in last minute of the game.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 He also bloodied the nose of a Badger shooter and didn’t get a foul called.
-
The Zach Edey protection plan is in full effect now in overtime.

It’s absurd. I feel bad for Wisconsin in a game I don’t really care about because the officiating is THAT BAD.
-
@BShark What’s bad is it happened yesterday, and last Sunday, and before that.
-
Yeah! @wissox
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Yes satisfying win for sure.
-
@wissox is wiscy ranked?
-
@wissox congrats buddy, I get mad because of Hunter got half the calls Zach does, he average 5 more points a game and it would be very helpful lol.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 They were up to #6 in mid January and 8-1 in BIG. Then they blew a 20 point lead at Nebraska, and lost 8 of 11. A backup guards injury seemed to impact them as the Badgers are thin in that position. He’s back now and they’re playing better.
-
@kjayhawks Oh man I don’t even wish that on our opponents. It is so frustrating to watch. It’s inexplicable that Edey can run into a set Tyler Wahl at the top of the key and flatten him and get the call. That was one of about 10 head scratchers today.
-
@wissox so not ranked now?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 No. Since injured back up came back they’re 4-1.

Was Morningstar recruited over? I dont remember. I remember people bitching about him starting
-
The ability to put the ball throught the hoop is a fickle thing: Houston is shooting 28% and only 2/11, 18% from 3. Strange how an entire team shoots poorly for a half. But , only 7 pts down at the half, so things may change.

No, he redshirt the national title season which would’ve been his sophomore season.

See my comment on the other post, Brady missed the 1st semester that year because of his DUI as well so it wasn’t like there was a real decision to made at that time over who to start.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 Xavier was always going to start. The only real competition was Tyshawn vs Brady
-
Ok gotcha, forgot about that part of the morningstar chapter
-
Iowa State is crushing Houston
-
Congrats on the Super Bowl win Clones!
-
B12 tournament turning into the ISU invitational
-
We could use a Momcilovic

And Brady likely would’ve started over Tyshawn that year had he been available from the beginning of the season because Self viewed him as KU’s best perimeter defender at the time.
-
Some absolute bangers on right now
-

We sure could. Gilbert, Ward are others that just play winning ball
-
Lets go Wolfpack
-
Gonna be weird will all these 1 seeds losing it NC state can pull it off.
-
I DID NOT see that coming. i thought Iowa St had a good chance winning tonight and I felt Houston will go farther in the NCAA and I still feel that way but I did not see this coming
-
Ugh this game blows

The bubble teams aren’t liking what’s happening in DC right now.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Did you see this one? https://x.com/BadSportsRefs/status/1769083732101611564?s=20. It was called a foul on Tyler Wahl. CBS which was kissing Purdue tail all day kept saying oh come on now, that should be a no call.
-
Houston was missing a starter? Precautionary? Or are they really missing him big time?
-
@wissox I sent this to you.
-
@wissox the big that hurt his shin, bruised last game. He also had stitches in his hand from earlier game. Maybe ours. He started but went out pretty quick, guessing they were wanting to get him healed up. He’s a tough guy. Got stitches during a game and came back and played.
-
Virginia getting absolutely embarrassed by Colorado St. in a First Four game losing by 26 with a little over 2 minutes left and still haven’t even scored 40 points yet.
-
And Virginia finally reached 40 points for the game!
-
Colorado St. 67 - Virginia 42
-
Slap to the face of Oklahoma because they were one of the teams Virginia was chosen over. That was simply put a bid for the ACC they had no business making this season.
-
Mildcats bounced first round NIT by Iowa lol
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 When Self is done I want nothing to do with Bennett and have said that for years when his name was randomly brought up.
They had the luckiest title they stole from Tech.
His basketball philosophy is atrocious as he slows the game down which only brings inferior opponents into play. It’s like a football team running the ball a lot to burn clock and minimize possessions…same thing with Bennett.
He’s more well know for the first ever 16 seed loss than the fluke title.
Nice guy but horrible ball coach
-
Oh man, now that’s something.

ya dude scored 30 on them , they losing some too 4 to be exact , and listening to Jerome may be more. Was asked if there were some they wanting back and then others told maybe to move on, his response was ummm how can I answer this the best without being rude.- -He says he think that’s something that should be discussed between him and staff- - not media lol.
They are for sure losing McNair , Guessan , Glover that they had been counting on all year and never played - -and then they are also losing Perry
-
I live in Fort Collins and have seen a lot of CSU. The sad part of last night is that the national narrative is how sorry Virginia is, how they didn’t deserve to get in…and nothing about how CSU actually played pretty well. Under-seeded and with a chip on their shoulder. I wouldn’t be surprised if they beat Texas too.
-
@focojayhawk I know nothing about them. Is the narrative that they deserved a better seed?
