Villanova did it to themselves - credit Purdue as well but they stopped playing their game and even stopped hitting free throws

[MikeRoberts]

PU also looks better without the basket of fries out there

[Uspshoosier]

Edey with the 6 step dunk.  Lol.   B1G needed this win 

[LamarCheeks]

It's just a sad day when the Toiletmakers win. 

Even more sad when you realize they're pretty damn good.

I’ve only seen the second one called in smaller conferences so far this year 

Which is another “we’re going to make it look like we’re doing something” from the paper tigers.

Great play, on 3,220 steps.

Can anyone beat the Cheez-it Champs? 

[GloryDays]

Purdue is really good.

I just threw up in my mouth a bit!

I agree they are good and it also makes me sick :)

Threats from 3,  good inside play, attack the basket, deep, share the ball, played hard, etc. First time I have seen Furst. He is going to be a good one. Back to back days of beating UNC and Nova is impressive. Ugh.

They have all that then Ivey. A B1G POY, Top NBA prospect, insane elite athlete to top it all off. He's the kind of talent that Painter has really never had. And because of that, you're seeing Painters best team and his best chance at winning a title.

Let’s temper this PU talk - they beat UNC who is getting throttled by Tennessee and they beat Villanova who now has two losses abs doesn’t look to be the same caliber team they usually are. 
I think they are good but beat two big names that were likely overrated.

Utah St with a nice win over Oklahoma

Kind of with you here. It’s too early to tout PU a championship contender imo. They’re definitely good, but it’s already been posted that they’re a retuning team without having gone the transfer route and while those W’s are good just how good is kinda up in the air. UNC doesn’t impress me.

Obviously too early to make any substantive judgements on Hubert Davis. But, they passed on maybe the best young coach in the country, also a Carolina guy,  ‘cause Ol’ Roy wanted to reward his Asst. And Hubert looks like a deer in headlights just now. We’ll see.

Sure... But Novas losses are to UCLA and Purdue. It's not like they are losing to low level teams.

UNC's 247 message board already has a thread speculating when Davis will be fired. lol

I'm curious why UNC was even ranked? They finished 34th in Kenpom last season and were an 8 seed that lost in the first round.

Because they are North Carolina

UNC was definitely starting to fall a bit. I think Roy was smart to retire. Unlike Jim Boeheim.
