3 straight Elite 8 for Barnes and Tennessee.   

Impressive win from them. 
 

This tournament has been really good so far. All these teams left could win it. For as much as the transfer portal needs cleaned up, it’s basic function of getting good players on top teams makes for a pretty compelling tournament if you can get past the lack of upsets on the first two days.

Yet mighty IUBB still took Rod Clark from Tennessee.  ;-)

We’ll always have the exhibition win over Tennessee two years ago

We will always have the memories of our last Elite 8 in 2002 :(

Duke doesn't beat themselves....but I still think they are beatable!

It’s been a minute since I’ve wanted to see a coming together as much as the Duke whistle and Dan Hurley. There is a perfectly reasonable chance he gets tossed.

Could see both games tonight being blow outs

If the game is officiated fairly Purdue will lose for sure.  If they allow all the hooks, holds, and shoves Purdue has a shot.

I hope so, but I suspect the PU game is close and they have a chance.  Painter has one of his hard to beat postseason teams, which is annoying.  If they get to a home F4 that would be unpleasant.

Illinois Iowa idk, that is probably less close.

[RoadRage]

So the games tonight are only on TruTV?

On paper Purdue should be toast. But they have a senior laden team. The two biggest matchups Braden and TKR could be won by Purdue largely because KoanPeat is a frosh. That leaves the Burries Loyer matchup. Should be AZ by a mile there , but Burries has a tendency to be a little streaky—although less so as the season has worn on. If Burries is just off and PU wins the other two matchups, they could win it.  
 

Honestly, AU should take it no problem on paper. I think they will, personally.

Live by the bandwagon, die by the bandwagon.

Clock, jumbo tron and buzzer went out at the Iowa/Illinois game hahah. They have an air horn you buy at Walmart for the shot clock buzzer

Underwood needs to find a Serb to kneecap Stirtz

[Ryno6284]

Stirtz is a "DUDE"!  I wish we could find another Tom Coverdale!

He’s like Coverdale on steroids and HGH. 
 

I want to dislike him but I can’t. He’s a stone cold killer out there. 

[Kentuckysucks]

It stings.  More so than losing Dusty to me.

The most bizarre things I have ever seen in a game.
