Burns has incredible footwork and stamina for a "big"man!

Wikipedia getting ahead of itself. I think it'll stand up, though.

Oh man. Purdue with a pass to the finals. I love seeing Duke loss though.

Duke had 0 shot of beating Purdue, imo. Maybe the NC state magic continues VS PU or Burns and edey get into some some Turkish wrestling match in the paint for all the marbles or something...I dunno. I couldn't see Duke beating Purdue.

I sometimes lurk and I saw this question so I thought I would respond. I just see to much negativity on here so I decided to give myself a break from posting here.

Stop back again when you don't have to stay so long.

I agree, Duke seems too finesse and NC State is meat and potatoes!

But the refs and their whistles will have Burns with 2 fouls before the under 16:00 and will rob us of a fun matchup

If Harry Caray were alive, he'd say -- "THEY'RE DANCING ON THE STREETS IN RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA." 

Two teams in the Final Four. 

Impressive.

I don't think so, they have to have the best crews on the final four.  Nobody wants to see early foul trouble.  None of the ticky-tack BS calls that he got in the B1G!

[Home Jersey 5,785]

NC State has 4 graduates and a senior in the starting lineup... I like that. Lol

And they only go 7 deep. If Purdue gets fouls called at their usual rate, NC St. might run out of scholarship bodies for the court.

Just searching for reasons to believe they'll lose lol. 

I'm concerned about Bama getting hot and upsetting UConn. But if it ends up being UConn vs Purdue, I'm pretty confident UConn will run away with it. Becoming a huge Huskies fan for the next 8 days

How deep was the '83 NC State team?

[woodenshoemanHoosierfan 6,174]

Burns is one of those players I have always enjoyed watching. He plays hard and enjoys playing so much he smiles a lot

Not very deep if I remember correctly. Played 6 or 7. I'm old, though, and could be not remembering correctly

So has Purdue had a B1G crew every single game this year? Been that way every game this year.

I do believe it was 7.  Or that is what I recall.

This is probably the coolest chart you'll find on college basketball.

Seeds beating other seeds. So many blanks where it's probably impossible for it to happen. Don't think you'll ever see a 15 vs a 1.
