Purdue loses. 

[RaceToTheTop]

Got a good look for 0.9 seconds, although Cox stepped in bounds on that pass and it wasn't called.

Does he have to put his foot down or just solely be over the line? Didn't look like his foot made contact before he threw it.

Houston-Tennessee masterclass coming up

[RaceToTheTop]

Good season Purdue.  Could almost say a banner one, but.....you know.

My bracket has Tennessee beating Houston next round. Feeling more confident in that pick after tonight.

I rewound and it looks like his foot didn't come down first.

Braden Smith is relieved basketball season is over so he can get back to making Amish furniture

I was elated when St. Peter's and FDU beat them. Last year when Uconn beat them, I felt relieved. Now, I just feel annoyed. We only lost one more game than they did, yet they were tied in the final seconds with a #1 seed.

Great recognition on the inbounds play to step in toward the basket rather than just stand there and watch after passing it in. That was awesome.

[LamarCheeks]

With 11 losses, no way did Purdue deserve a No. 4 seed -- and to get sent to the Indy regional.

It will be a dogfight. Keep in mind…this was essentially a road game for Houston. 

[TheWatShot]

Houston was 30-0 when allowing fewer than 70 points. Now 31-0, but damn.

It pays to be Matt Painter and be adored by the media. The selection committee is made up of human beings who are biased for certain people/teams and biased against others. When Purdue was announced as the 4 in the Midwest, it almost felt like they were saying "Tough season, Purdue, but we love what you did last year, so here you go."

PU definitely got some calls but why in the world did that ref swallow his whistle on that push off with 2.2 to go. The Houston dude’s “arm bar” was fully extended, knocking down the 5,000,000 man, right in front of the ref. Right in front of him.

The MBB refs really detract from the game.

[LamarCheeks]

Was a bit of a different play, but that reminded me of our loss to Illinois when we were No. 1 in 2013.  

We got caught up in a series of screens, an Illini player was left wide-open for a layup and like Purdue tonight, we were left standing there with our d-cks in our hands. 

That was the genius of John Groce. LOL! 

[TheWatShot]

It sure was nice of the refs to immediately stop the game after the bucket so Purdue would get a free timeout to draw something up. 

 

Really getting tired of officials micro-managing the end of games.
