And then there were eight. (Big Dance)

It is truly amazing that Illinois got this far without a good point guard. They have good forwards, centers, and shooting guards, but the kid who played PG wasn't very good all year. The strength of the rest of the team masked the deficiencies at PG all year.

I hope Purdue gets the chance to go up against UCONN; Eady and Clingan would be a great matchup!!!

I think Clingan is much more athletic than Edey. But Edey appears to be much stronger and used to playing BIG muscle ball. So it should be a really interesting matchup.

A lot of Edey’s effectiveness is determined by officiating and how many fouls they call on the people defending him.

Edey seemed to be getting away with a lot of high elbows against Gonzaga.

Tennessee too and they called the fouls on Tennessee.

Dang, I thought the first game was tipping off at 5. Well, congratulations to Purdue.

nc state vs. DOOK. (aka, State vs. College) on CBS now. DOOK. leading, 27-21, approaching halftime.

 

[BobPSU92]

nc state 44, DOOK. 38, 9:49 to go in the 2nd half. Filipowski with four fouls for DOOK. .

 

[BobPSU92]

Filipowski fouls out with 4:52 to go. nc state up by 12.

Final: State 76, College 64

I thought Edey walked a lot in the game today. But nobody gets called for walking these days. You have to take three steps after a Euro step to get called for walking. Plus most of these guys turn the ball over every time they dribble.

My first “legal” bet in North Carolina.
NC State +240 via Fan Duel
Easy Money.

Good for you. Boy, NCSU has to be the most experienced team in the tournament.

Meanwhile in women’s basketball:

NCAA: 3-point distances not accurate in Portland

The NC State Wolfpack and Texas Longhorns played Sunday's Region 4 final on a court with 3-point lines of different distances at the top of the key, and the coaches agreed to continue with the game rather than delaying it for a remeasurement.
