Wow, I truly feel really bad for Haas and Purdue. Will be really interesting to see the form their offense takes without him.

It really does. I feel bad for both. Haas is a great kid (Yeah, I know he’s a FULL grown man, but they’re all kids to me!). It’s such a shame for him to end his career this way. Purdue really doesn’t have the depth to handle this, either. I agree with Buckets that Painter is going to have to go small for stretches of games.

This really sucks for him and Purdue. They had a good shot at the Final Four.

Tough break for Purdue…good luck to the young man!

Totally agree…I would expect JB would’ve had a bigger impact on his development.

Butler playing well…i had to pick them in my bracket. Good guard play…smart team!

Still think Purdue has a solid path to the Elite Eight.

Great win for LaVall Jordan and the Butler Bulldogs!

I pick Arizona to win several game because I listen to Jay Bilas say Deandre Ayton is a hall of fame talent. :sob::rage:

Easy game for them except for the second half of the first half where they forgot how to play.

My girl friend picked Buffalo because they are from New York.

Buffalo Bulls are in New York ? Who are they ? WTF ?

But I’m over it.

Nevada wasted about 12 seconds not fouling for some reason

Lmao. Texas knocks it out of bounds by the Nevada bench off a terrible in bounds from the baseline after a game tying Nevada FT

Nevada’s coach is lucky he has not been T’d up here.

I’ve only seen the OT of Texas vs Nevada; it’s been fantastic basketball, thoroughly entertaining
Nevada looks really good

Game was vintage Nevada and Texas. Crazy big leads disappearing in a heartbeat.

I do not understand Izzo. Just because you have the best frontcourt depth in the country doesn’t mean you have to use every single guy. Ward, Jackson, Tillman, Schilling, Goins and Carter have all got minutes this half. I would think they’d be much better served if only Schilling and Tillman got minutes to spell Jackson and Ward.

This MSU second half will be interesting. Curious to see if they take control.

Typical Izzo halftime interview: “Give them credit”, followed by 2 separate backhanded remarks about banked in shots…

Izzo: “guys are banking in shots” with a smirk. Bucknell banked in one shot and is 5-7 from three and Zach Thomas has 20 and has been by far the best player on the floor.
