I actually had Oregon going to the Elite 8 in my bracket, haha.

Oregon is a good defensive team but zone is so dangerous against good 3PT shooters, I think they’ll find all the holes. If i had to pin-point a weakness in Virginia’s defense, I’d say they struggle against good athletes. If Virginia is cold, it could swing in Oregon’s favor but I just don’t see it.

Purdue is a really good team. They’re not rolling over for anybody. And when you have someone like Edwards anything is possible.

Purdue reminds me of us when Zion was out. Edwards / RJ both volume scorers. Unless someone else miraculously steps up, they live and die on their efficiency. Edward’s was mediocre tonight besides success getting to the charity stripe. Kline played his best game of the season, luckily. Edwards is a nightmare for defenses when he gets hot, but he’ll also ruthlessly shoot 12-15 3’s and build a tower of bricks. Heck I think he averages 10 or 11 3PA per-game which is nuts.

Purdue has narcolepsy episodes defending the perimeter too, Virginia will swallow them if that narrative continues Saturday.

Oregon can win if they do what we did last season, beat UVA down the floor so they cant set their defense. They have the athletes to do it.

I wish the MW and one of the West or South regions had switched days. I’d rather have watched UNCheat and KY play tonight (hopefully to losses). Tomorrow all I’m gonna care about is the Duke game. These boring games should have been on then.

At some point, UVA is going to need Kyle Guy to make jump shots. He’s 1-for-17 from deep so far in the NCAAT.

This Virginia/Oregon game might end up being the first to score 40 wins because right now it’s only 10-7 halfway through the first half

Paul White is a fifth-year senior for Oregon. He started his collegiate career at Georgetown. Also graduated from high school with a guy named Jahlil Okafor. Their Whitney Young HS (Chicago) team was pretty damn good.
