March Madness Discussion (Men's Nat'l Championship Game: Mon 4/8: Purdue vs UCONN)

[___Rand___]

Another Edey rip lol

He's slow with his post moves. The Edey fanboys need to explain how he's gonna fix that at the NBA level?

He ain't. NBA guards will strip Edey all game.

Purdue is still up even though Braden Smith playing like garbage.

[azcatz11]

Horne is a baller!

He's got that line drive shot that looks like it's going to brick but goes in

[___Rand___]

Oh ****. O'Connell is injured. This is a 7 man rotation for NC State.

[The Moose]

this game is only close because Braden Smith forgot how to play basketball, and absolutely can not handle the on ball pressure

0-5 fg and 5 turnovers in the first half

[jkvonny]

Nice lil run by NCSU, they are gettin back in the game.

Great college player, but he's slow. Just won't be a factor in a much quicker/faster league. State has figured this out and now they back in this game.

Hard to play against Purdue when you can’t breathe on Edey

You can't camp in the paint like you can in college either. He's got no quickness. can't cover ground.

Braden Smith's play style looks so much like Malachi Flynn.

DJ Horne remind anyone else of Tyrese Maxey? Not that I think he will be that type of player, but this dude def. is getting to the league and wouldn't be surprised to see him have a solid career.

Also has anyone else notice how out of it Bilas is on the call tonight? Wonder what's up i've never seen him call a game so pessimistically

"That's one of the worst halves I've seen the Purdue guards play all year" Charles pretending like he's watched college basketball all season

His future is overseas, g-league at best. He's an undersized scoring guard who is already 23 and not even elite at scoring.

[The Moose]

The Edey whistle discourse this game is hilarious, he's taken 2 free throws so far, was stripped twice with no foul called and also called for an offensive foul.
He's had what, 2 fouls called in his favour? Both of which were genuine fouls

[The Moose]

Braden Smith's play style looks so much like Malachi Flynn.

He looks like a deer in the headlights this game. Two backcourt violations bringing the ball up the court at this stage is insane.

5 turnovers and almost a few more, while bricking everything he's taken so far.

The guy has taken the 4th most free throws in a season in the history of men's NCAA basketball. It's okay to say dude is a free throw merchant at this level. Doesn't take away how good he is.

[rockmanslim]

Halftime so long Grant Hill's goattee turned gray

[JustBuzzin]

Another Edey rip!

What's that 4 rips on Edey so far?

1) Your first sentence is a fact, your second sentence is an opinion which is a negative spin on an objectively positive trait. Which you're entitled to, but I'm going to call it out because it isn't logical.

2) People are posting about this specific game, so anything else is irrelevant. He hasn't had any kind of special treatment this game so far at all as I explained above

[azcatz11]

That possession is Purdue in a nut shell. Foul merchants all over the court. These dudes get every whistle and flop around. Awful basketball
