it's the elite 8 already?
holy sh*t - I thought it was the sweet 16 a few hours ago - this is what you get when you take off for march madness sipping on brewski at the crack of dawn and check MLB news as well coming off St. Paddy's Day.
hoping Purdue kicks the living sh*t out of the cavs!
although I always root for the underdog - I want to see the Zags win the other game - I want to see them finally win one

Texas Tech looks like they could win this whole thing now. But so did UNC before last night. So I'll go with the Red Raiders anyway.
Virginia looks good so far. They still have that bitter taste from last year and I think the only thing that will take care of it is the Final Four.

I like Purdue in the late game, not because I know much about them but because I think UVa is about ready to bow out. Would like to see Gonzaga win too but I don't have a strong feeling either way about who is the favorite in that one.

I need Texas Tech and Virginia for my bracket. Not so sure if Texas Tech will win though.

Neither the defense of Texas Tech nor the offense of Gonzaga are dominating. The pace favors Tech but the Zags have a two point lead at the half.
Tech needs to find some offense somewhere and the Zags need to stop turning the ball over.

And the Red Raiders are going to the Final Four!!!! They’ve had a great tournament and their defense has been fantastic, I didn’t realize how good they were.

Texas Tech lost four players from an Elite 8 team last year and go to the Final Four this year. Hell of a coaching job by Chris Beard. Their defense could win it all.

I think their team last year was better. Last years team WAS better. This year's team is playing better. Keenan Evans and Zhaire Smith last year to go along with Jarret Culver. Last years team was a #3 seed, lost to the champs, Villanova. Better defense this year. TT has only lost once since 2/4, and inexplicable loss in the 1st round of the Big "XII" Tournament to West Virginia.
I think Gonzaga, once again, suffers from playing in a garbage conference. They went from December 15th (loss to UNC) to March 23rd (beat Baylor in the 2nd round of the NCAA) playing teams that my Grandmother's bridge club could beat. It's tougher for the Gonzaga's and the other small schools to adapt to the grind of the Big Dance. Shame for Gonzaga. They so outclass the WCC but there's nowhere else to go. No football team, so they can't even go to the American. They are talented enough to play in the Pac 12 and dominate it.

Purdue looked like monsters coming out. The Big 10 co-champ has not one, but two three point ringers. They play tough defense too.
But Virginia, ACC champ, hung tough. I think that towards the end of that first half that big lineup they put in bothered Purdue.
Virginia has to have someone stick with those two three point specialists and do nothing else, let their big men take care of the rest. If Purdue's big shooters can keep it up, they win.

HOLY SHIT WHAT A GAME!!!!
Edwards has 40 points and has dominated for Purdue, but Virginia’s big lineup has caused the Boilers some issues and they’ve dominated off the glass.
Purdue shouldn’t have fouled there at the end, they should’ve forced Virginia to shoot a 3, if they had made it we would be in the same place we are now but Virginia could’ve won it with a 3 at the buzzer, stupid decision to foul IMO especially given how good UVA’s offensive rebounding has been, and the dumbass announcers were saying it was a great move.
