Here we go with crap officiating in Purdue’s favor. No one touched the Purdue shooter, foul!

Maybe Kentucky will get the same treatment

One can only hope

 

[HeuperDrive]

This is the ACC runner up? Yikes

It’s admittedly amusing to me, as I’ve seen some ACC fans insist that their conference was underrated and will dominate this tournament.

Not a good start for them.

Surely Creighton can’t be that hot in the second half. Louisville might have a run in them.

I think I hate Purdue more than Bama and Georgia at this point.

 

[Vol4lif3]

These refs suck for Purdue and high point

 

[A-RodWiLks]

Purdue getting gifted a lot by the zebras ugggh

I've definitely developed a hatred for Purdue in basketball and football over the last few years.

 

[hUTch2002]

I don’t get why that shuffle gets called traveling but traveling any other time doesn’t.

That and they’re killing HP on the offensive glass.

 

[A-RodWiLks]

Man, these refs must really like Purdue lol

Also the blatant carry by Braden Smith that led to an assist. Wth

 

[Larkin]

Guess I can strike thru Louisville on my bracket in red ink. Basically a home game and they lay this kind of egg...sheesh

right there withyou.

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

If High Point can settle down on offense I think they’ll be ok. They seem rushed and frantic.

Not if they don't rebound better.
18-6 in favor of Purdue.
Ironically, they need to start High Pointing the ball and stop letting Purdue out rebound them.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

You have UK beating us in a bracket? We can't be friends.

Hedging my bets so if I get hurt I can win some money (hopefully).

 

[hUTch2002]

That should’ve been a tech for hanging on the rim. No reason in that situation.

They’re getting killed on the boards.

 

[hUTch2002]

Absolutely zero boxing out by HP. Maybe they won’t pull this off. They’re taking bad shots and not cleaning up Purdue’s misses. Really bad combo no matter who you’re playing.

 

[A-RodWiLks]

Ok well Purdue is likely advancing... don't think it'll happen but wouldn't mind getting another shot at em. They look very beatable

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Well I’m on track to be 0-2 in one of my two brackets.

Did anyone else pick Creighton to beat Auburn in the 2nd round?

I picked Louisville, but I can see Creighton beating Auburn if they continue to shoot lights out in the second half. They're a tough out.

 

[A-RodWiLks]

Wouldn't be shocked. Kalkbrenner would probably limit Broome a bit

 

[GoBigOrange86]

Matt Painter be like

Picked Louisville myself, but I definitely believe the winner of this game beats Auburn. Could even see Creighton making the final four if they play like this the whole way.
