Purdue 4-26 from 3. Most of them open looks. They were one of the worst shooting teams all year. It's a shame. They have a good team otherwise.

I didn't like that final shot. He could have easily dribbled into a decent 15 foot shot.

Purdue really shit the bed.

6 seconds you can go end to end!!

And Cincy had a 41 game win streak when they scored 60+. Something had to give.

That dude from Cincy that threw the elbow gets a 2nd chance

When did College Basketball become so low scoring boring games?

Sure there is exciting finishes... but thst doesnt make up for plodding bulk of the games

But every team seems to be laboring to break 60 points.

Thank God for LSU/NC State

They actually seem to want to play a game above 75 points in regulation.

Story of their year. Led Wisconsin by 5 at the half in the big ten tourney. Then they couldn't make anything in the 2nd and got smoked. They can hang with anyone if they can just shoot like average.

If you think Kentucky is gonna cakewalk over UC you're most likely mistaken. It will be a good game.

I hate that. Just call the others Play-In games and be done with it. It's too fucking confusing. I heard people making the same mistake all day.

35 second shot clock and teams insisting on using most of shot clock possession after possession will do that

Fuck that noise. This is the first round.

Just eliminate them so I can celebrate

UC beat NC State this season. They make people play their game. Yes, it's a boring game if you like high scoring.

coaches have too much control of the game, most teams waste the first 15-20 seconds of the shot clock doing nothing productive, and everybody stalls with leads while the team trailing comes back

You and me both brother. We have a shit ton of UK fans here. They're so damn obnoxious.
