At least 4 out of bounce calls incorrectly going Bama's way, gj refs.
Bama could have went 11-11 3PT and would still be losing. Lol college basketball. They will find infinite FTs for this team but something has to give in the last game.
Damn! Just saw a local HS baseball player doing a commercial for a local business.
NIL is ridiculous when HS kids are doing commercials. (I assume that is the reason. I really don't know if it applies to HS kids.)
****ing hell, Nelson.
UConn shot like ass and still rolling.
It's going to be interesting, UConn sits back in that pack line defense with Clingan protecting the rim. Purdue doesn't attack the same way every other team attacks with the dribble drive, they give EDEY the ball and let him cook. Don't think Clingan can just sit at the rim and hope to block EDEY.
I mean that to say, EDEY will cook Clingan.
It's going to go one of two ways: Clingan out on fouls or Edey out on fouls. One side is going to be totally shocked I tell ya that they called it that way.
EDEY is about to cook that uncoordinated fraud. I honestly can't wait to watch him destroy Clingan.
UConn seems dumb enough to try and single cover EDEY all game too.
Clash of the Titans.
What's uconns closest game the last two years? Was it this one?
The thing I always worried about as a Purdue fan, is that a team would pack everyone in the paint and force the shooters to beat them. I get the sense UConn thinks their scrub 7'2 guy can defend EDEY. I can't wait, I think EDEY might go for 25 in the first half and then it's too late. I think the 3 point shooters horse shot their way to a comfortable victory.
Redd's coping is strong right now.
UConn -6 -270
Purdue +6 +220
That's too many points. It'll probably be 2 or 3.
Hopefully we get two great games the next two days
Can't ****ing wait
-5.5 seems low for this game?
UConn beats everyone by DD
(edit: up to 6)
Purdue by 12. EDEY has 35. Braden Smith has 17/12
Purdue baybee!
the ACC sits at the top going into the final game of the post-season
