Could be a chalky day

Could be a chalky day

Relevant to first game, I'd take Shaka Smart or (yesterday) Mark Few among the number of coaches I would put in tiers above Danny Hurley.

BTW go Buffs

 

[BillyC80]

Buffs got shafted on that offensive foul call.

 

[rufeelinit]

I have not seen Colorado play much at all this year, but wasn't #10 Williams supposed to be their best player and a high NBA draft lottery pick this year? He did not start the second half (fouls?) doesn't seem to be doing much from a quick look at the box score.

 

[Scarlet Blind]

Is there any defense being played, Colorado shooting 52%, Marquette 64% and both teams with only 5 PFs, 10 minutes left in the 2nd half

 

[Plum Street]

Here is my traditional rant with the second round games: put more games on in the late afternoon ! I hate that they backload all these games into tonight.
Ok rant over

I guess go Colorado . But don’t hate Marquette

Women's Second Round at Halftime:

1 South Carolina 56
8 North Carolina 19

South Carolina 8 for 10 on 3s. I've never seen a college basketball beatdown like this one.

At end of 2nd quarter, South Carolina had possession and didn't even to bother to try to score, happy just to dribble out the clock.

They are just good South Carolina.

 

[bac2therac]

All about putting the ball in the hoop

 

[G- RUnit]

Fascinating where having no fouls hurts you.

 

[BillyC80]

Fascinating where having no fouls hurts you.

Except they can be aggressive going for a steal and a foul stops the clock

 

[Scarlet Blind]

14 seconds lost because you were at 3 team fouls at the end of the game. Huge mistake.

 

[bac2therac]

Horrible last possession by Colorado

 

[Plum Street]

Colorado missed a few wide open threes

 

[TDIrish27]

Kolek is a really nice PG-----smart and tough.

Shaka? Definitely not. Few is terrific

 

[BillyC80]

Shaka? Definitely not. Few is terrific

Shaka was made to look like a genius when the Buffs missed those wide open threes. Great coaching!

 

[knights1212]

Kulek is just so special but Colorado never guarded him going left all day long. He just took it to Colorado and either scored or got another assist.

 

[RUJMM78]

Kolek is a really nice PG-----smart and tough.

He makes a left hand hook shot at crunch time.

 

[Scarlet Blind]

Osobor is a very skilled big for 6'8 250lb

 

[runner3283]

Shaka? Definitely not. Few is terrific

Buffs played well, but Kolek just hustled to get that rebound. Kudos to him

 

[knight82]

Purdue never missed an outside shot against us. They're missing plenty today

 

[bac2therac]

Impressive stretch for Purdue

 

[fatsam98]

Might be seeing some form of this Utah St team next year... their coach is rumored to be headed to Washington, presumably he'd bring his best players with him

 

[bac2therac]

49-33 half

Purdue just overwhelming the Aggies

 

[FastMJ]

Edey 21 points in first half. Beast mode

 

[fatsam98]

Utah St still in the lockerroom

 

[RUJMM78]

Utah St still in the lockerroom

They should have stayed in locker room .Purdue leads 56-35 early second half.I would not be surprised all number one seeds reach quarter finals.The talent disparity is too wide along with the fan support in the arena.

 

[fatsam98]

This is like our game at Mackey

 

[bac2therac]

Go for 110

 

[Scarlet Blind]

This is like our game at Mackey

Eeriely similar, our game was 22-21 when Purdue started their run, and Utah St was 25-24.

 

[shields]

Good for Purdue.

 

[Plum Street]

Let’s go James Madison !

I remember an early 90s game at the RAC where JMU coached by Lefty Driesell took it to Rutgers. There was also a guy on that team that testified at Jayson Williams trial

 

[jrm75]

I hope Purdue continues to play like they did today. Make the B10 proud!

 

[RU82]

I hope Purdue continues to play like they did today. Make the B10 proud!

Absolutely

We should all be hoping that Purdue wins it all this year. Get that monkey off the B1G’s back.

Was that Kent Culuko (sp?)? He was from Jersey originally but I also remember him throwing a dirty elbow in one of our guys’ eyes either at the RAC or down there. He was not a fan favorite.

 

[fatsam98]

JMU looks like it went on a 2-day bender after beating Wisconsin.

Hopefully Clemson-Baylor is better than this...

Yeah, a couple of turds today after that first one.

 

[MadRU]

Did Clemson have two for one on perms at the hairdresser?

Rutgers won
