Red Raiders to the Final Four.

Two weeks ago they lost to a horrendous West Virginia team. Now they're going to Minneapolis. God I love college basketball.

Is Chris Beard Bruce Pearl's little brother?

The technical foul for reaching over the line and touching the ball is a great reason the monitor is over used. Higgins was standing right there and saw him reach over and touch the ball. so why did they go to the monitor?

Because he's Higgins and that gets him more tv time. The guy should not be officiating at this level.

Why does he continue to get these games???? John Adams loves him, he will defend Higgins to his death. I have discussed Higgins with him several times and he gets extremely defensive when you bring him up.

Carson Edwards is an exceptional shooter.

This is the rule for that T. Rule 10.

i. Reaching through the throw-in boundary-line plane and touching or dislodging the ball while it is in possession of the thrower or being passed to a teammate outside the boundary line as in Rule 7-4.6.b;

I actually don't like Purdue's personnel outside of Edwards. But Edwards is so good he can almost singlehandedly beat you if you let him get going.

Virginia is really hurting Purdue with their size right now. Hellaciously big all over the court and Purdue really has nothing for it. The only shots they've missed Virginia's bigs have cleaned up. Jack Salt, who's basically just a big body, has been a major factor in this game.

Edwards is on fire, man this kid can shoot...

[J.Jennings]

With the teams i have watched, if you play stall ball against them you lose,

The guards for Virginia are hitting shots but Jack Salt's been their MVP. Been involved in about seven offensive rebounds that have led to baskets.

Gene Keady looks like a old drunk mad as heck over there in the stands, he's fired up

Yep he's tapping them out to the guards

I feel like the matchup is better against Virginia because Edwards would eat Hagans alive. I would like to see Herro and Guy going against each other.

[J.Jennings]

I can't get over this Edwards kid, first time i really checked him out tonight, he shoots from way out, Seth Curry clone...
