Not a fan of either but the Virginia/Purdue game last night was awesome. Raining 3s and Carsen Edwards from Purdue was on fire. But then again, it helped that the one guy on the court shorter than Carsen was guarding him. Probably the best game of the tournament so far.
All four of the Eilte eight were incredible actually. Two went overtime. All were down to last minute. College hoops is great
Gotta agree — except that I’m not sure a defender a couple inches taller would have slowed Edwards much: Most of those 3’s he made were from, well, not just “downtown”, but more like the next town over. Even a 6’6” defender playing any sort of normal defense would not have been out far enough to challenge those shots...
Later in the game I thought a few more of Edwards’ shots were better challenged, and he did miss a higher %, but IIRC none were blocked, so instead of driving a lot more, he seemed to stay with what had been working — except fewer went in.
Speaking of driving, I was VERY impressed by Auburn’s Jared Harper. Good Heaven’s, is he fast!!! And fearless...
