NCAA Tournament: Third Round Random Chatter

    There you go Snaer! Way to make up for that first game.

    Really wish Lehigh wouldn't have gone cold in the second half. Not over yet, but gonna be tough for them to overcome this late deficit.
  • wildcats20
    Need to get a steal or a TO.

    And that should probably do it.

    Not sure I'd call it a "run". They won one game. lol Be it a HUGE win/game. And ur right, never forget and will be relived for years to come.

    That sould do it... looks like X will advance and the State of Ohio stays undefeated.

    Nah it was in West Lafayette. I remember watching on TV thinking holy crap Hummel didn't miss and we're still within 10, as long as he doesn't do that again Turner will lead us to victory.

    I loved watching ET play because it felt he could lead us back from any deficit.

    I'll forever love Lehigh for all that they accomplished this weekend. :D

    If UC wins, that would be 4 Ohio teams in Sweat16. That is pretty amazing. Even 3 is pretty damn good.

    I really don't want to root for UC.

    Agreed. Just cant do it

    I'd love to see Robbie Hummel get to play in the Sweet 16 -- the kid's very likable, especially for all he's been through -- but, sorry, Rob, I need Kansas to win.

    If Purdue wins this then UNC might have the most gift-wrapped Final 4 trip I can remember, even with Marshall being hurt.

    I think that Kansas had a very similar road last year, being in the Sweet Sixteen with a 11, 12, and 10.
  • Iliketurtles
    I need Kansas and FSU to win for my bracket to have a chance and I also have players on both teams for the OC Player Pickem lol.

    I thought the same thing today when I looked at their bracket.

    Yeah, I almost threw an "of course I said the same thing about Kansas last year" comment into that post. I had the Jayhawks winning it all last year. Can't believe they pissed away that draw and didn't even make the FF.
  • NilesPacMan
    Yeah, they throttled Richmond, but they couldn't get past the offensive explosion from VCU.

    No disrespect to Ohio, but I don't think that the team will miss his offensive production too much against Ohio. It's just they have superior athletes, so they should win that one. However, anything is possible in the tournament, so I can't write off an Ohio upset completely.

    I think that if Purdue were to pull this one out, that Purdue/NC State would both be able to play good games against UNC. As we saw in the ACC semis, NC State can play with UNC, so I'd definitely like to see that game again. I think that I underestimated Purdue this year (had them losing to St. Mary's). However, if Hummel can play like the old Hummel and get good contributions from his teammates, they can also give UNC a scare.

    Kansas will win this game. Feels like Purdue is just holding on.
  • Tiger2003
    Wow surprised Self brought Taylor back in before the under 4 timeout.
  • centralbucksfan
    Robinson looks like shit this game. Purdue with a great game plan. KU now doing a Box n 1 on Hummell.
  • SportsAndLady
    This is so terrible.

    My best friend is a huge annoying Purdue fan...double whammy

    IDK, every time KU gets close, seems like Purdue makes a play and answers. Been uphill battle for KU entire game.
