NCAA - Big Dance Thread of Champions

[Show-Me Hog]

20-7 this half looks much more like our game.

Those are some fancy gold shoes on the Notre Dame leprechaun who somehow gets to run point for Purdue.

Isn't one of the Purdue guys tied to Arkansas somehow? Too lazy to look it up but thought I'd heard something about it.

It's crazy how Arizona doesn't score as many points if you stand between them and the rim.

I think his parents both played for Arkansas Tech.  Edit: Looked it up, it's Braden Smith.  Family moved to Indiana when he was 4.

28-13 this half. Seems Arizona took the halftime break to remember who it was.

[Hogfan58]

AZ 16-18 FT, Pur 6-10. That is the game, AZ living at the FT line

[Hogfan58]

If AZ plays Duke, the refs wont know who to call fouls on

Looking for a Jim Spanarkel reference tomorrow.

Arizona was going to win anyway, but there have been some strange ticky tack calls against Purdue at the offensive end this half.

That is not the story of this game. Yes zona has made their ft's but that's part of it. But it's not because of foul discrepancy.

[Show-Me Hog]

48-26 and zero turnovers in the 2nd half is stepping on their fucking throats Derek Chauvin style.

Like Cal said, they're good.

When you're beating the shit out of your opponent, that tends to happen, as you opponent purposefully tries to put you on the line in hopes that you miss and they can either go 2 for 1 and/or slow the clock. Arizona dominated us the entire game and Purdue in the 2nd half.

arizona is just fucking good.

we still have scored the most points on them so far this season.

What a shitty, almost unwatchable product with 15 fouls being called in the first 10 minutes of an Elite 8 game.

Just awful

All year scoring droughts and turnovers have been fatal. Not good.

It was a 14-14 game before the whistles started blowing.

[mr.zorak]

7:00 21-0 run.
No offense and getting cut to pieces on defense.

Yep. Refs completely interjected themselves and affected the flow and pace of what was a good game.
