I'll be that guy and point out Blackshear's foot was out of bounds on VT's last possession. It should have been Duke ball with ~10 seconds left.

And I’ll be that guy to point out that Duke should have lost to UCF but the zebras came to save the day.

Let’s not forget that Hill missed a wide open 2 footer and that  VA Tech had the ball even though Blackshear clearly stepped out of bounds.

I agree Duke got calls in that game but it would have been a moot point if UFC could have hit one of their last two or three shots.

I got a bracket alive in espn I think it’s chronic Hoosiers bracket challenge (1St in chronics) that as of now went 16-16 for the sweet 16 and just went 6-8 for the elite 8. Overall in the 99% and 115,000 out of 10 million

I have very mixed feelings about Auburn but feel bad their best player hurt his knee. Really bad luck.  Cheating aside (ie an assistant coach pleading guilty) they looked awfully good against UNC. I have been impressed with the speed of UNC’s transition offense but Auburn’s speed....holy S#&T.

Pearle’s a great motivator -  and comparatively only a mid-level cheat...kinda like them!

Virginia’s defense is going to have to win them the game. They can’t keep up with Purdue’s shooting

[Hoosier1984 1,579]

I just have a feeling the way Purdue is shooting they will win by about 20.

Purdue hasn’t played a defense as well as Virginia’s. But look for a boring low scoring game. Virginia has good hands. I fully expect for them to make it hard for Edwards. Where Purdue has the advantage is how good of a creator Edwards is and their presence down low with Haarms and Williams compared to Virginia.

I have a bad feeling Purdue is going to win. I hope I’m wrong

Purdue vs. UK next Saturday. Book it.

[RatpigHoosier 1,022]

I’m hoping UVA’s defense is more disciplined than Tenn’s was. I know they were trying to get up in the shooters’ faces, but I saw more than a few times when the bigs would cheat up to help on screens and Edwards, Cline or Eifert would hit Haarms streaking toward the rim for a dunk. If my casually trained eye saw it I’m sure Bennett is all over it and will make it more difficult for Purdue to do that.

At least one of them goes home.

Also, watch off ball how pu “sets” their screens. I watched plenty of wide stance, firearms out, shuffle feet, push into defender, let running back break through the hole screens against Tenn.

I know people don’t want to hear it but a few of these recent games have been decided on how they’ve been called.

Move the game to Indy to really shove it up our noses.

Personally I’d take Salt and Diakite against the Flying Dutchman and Swanigan Lite any day. 

To add, I’d probably take everyone for UVA over everyone for Purdue (with the exception of Carsen probably) any day. It’s just whether Bennett lets them open things up if they need to.

Of course you do. I think the only game you missed this season was Alcorn St/Savannah St and that was only because the stream went down. ;)

Purdue probably has the advantage in depth, but UVA's starters are very good. If UVA hits open shots, they'll win. Their offense has gotten them a ton of good looks in the tournament, but they've been really cold. They're never going to score 80, but they should have scored a lot more than they have the last 2 games. They've missed so many open shots. I think Guy is 2-20 from 3 the last 2 games, and at least 10 of those were very open. He and Hunter were terrible against Oregon.
