Onions!

 

[Ghost]

This Iowa game may have less fouls total by both teams than this Texas game has reviews.

brutal for Nebraska only had 4 players on the floor

 

[cuseattle]

I think Iowa/Nebraska started 35 minutes after...and caught up.

Gonna be a photo finish!

 

[swish7]

Come on Texas

Braden Smith is a great player, but if Purdue blows this he deserves the smoke for bricking at the line in the second half.

 

[Ghost]

Now the two late games are going to start at the same time.
Way to go, Texas/Purdue!

Inopportune time for Hoiberg to try his new “pull one guy off the floor for no goddam reason” defensive scheme.

 

[Ghost]

The Purdue was fairly close to stepping out of bounds when he planted after that catch. That would have been crazy

 

[swish7]

Heck yah!

 

[Ghost]

Wow
Well done, Purdue.

 

[swish7]

Oscar Cluff fouls out after his 15th foul today

 

[BuffOrange]

Hold on let's review tenths of second on that and1. Gotta get it right!

 

[swish7]

How? Why? Press full court you dummies!

Yeah, at least go token pressure on Smith to try to have him kill some clock or even keep the ball out of his hands.

Ehh that’s what Florida did against Iowa. They needed a big on the floor. That was the stupid part of it.

Folguerias needs to hit the portal and come play in the dome

He stinks at the ft line minus those two he hit so he'd fit in

He’s 77 pct from the line on the season and is their second best player per advanced metrics plays inside out as a stretch 4.

Not as bad as I thought, every time I saw him at the line the past couple weeks hes missed fts.

I was rooting for Texas, but that Purdue kid really knew his role on the last play. He used his size to get into position on the tip in. At first I thought Texas didn't have anyone blocking him out but they did and just got out muscled. Perfect play to show players why they need to work harder in the off season.

I think Syracuse lost a game the same way in the last year or so. Someone, maybe Chris Bell, got pushed under the basket.

Last time Iowa made the final four they ended Louie n Bouie’s careers on their journey there with JB getting that huge T that totally changed the game.

And yes, I’m still pi$$ed about that game.
