Purdue rounding into their usual first round NCAA tournament upset form. They won’t have Painter’s 3 golfing buddies to bail them out next week
the national
- the Front Range
Az - KU in a tight one.
That rule needs to change. Any part of the backboard should be out of bounds.
if the ball hits the bottom of the backboard it's supposed to be a turnover. this also came after they reviewed it??? what?
It’s staged…the B1G wants Purdue to win the tourney this year. 
wait so back of backboard is out of bounds, bottom is in bounds.....what about top of backboard? how was our MSU game called out then?
GummiesBill Raftery already looking like he had a couple to take the edge off in between the Creighton and UConn games.

- In Bounds:
The front, sides, top, and bottom of the backboard are all part of the playing area.
- Out of Bounds:
The ball is considered out of bounds when it touches the backboard supports, the back of the backboard, or any object above the playing court.
- Examples:
If a ball bounces off the rim and rolls along the top of the backboard, it is still in play. If the ball rolls along the top and falls into the basket, it is a made shot; if it falls off the back, it is out of bounds.
- Fan-shaped Backboards:
While fan-shaped backboards are rare, if a ball goes over the backboard from front to back or back to front, it is legal and not a violation.
- Fan-shaped Backboards:
According to the rules I just looked up, the top, bottom and sides are in play. The back and any supporting structure is out of bounds. I would have sworn balls that go on top of the backboard have been ruled out of bounds…but I was wrong.
That said, the phantom foul that followed with only 3 seconds on the shot clock was an incredibly bad,
game-changing call.
EDIT: See Pasadena already posted the rules.

Even the front part?
Oops you’re right. I should clarify any of the bottom and the back of the backboard. The top is fine as long as the ball skims along it, just not over it.
So why was Boswell's play in the MSU game ruled out? Wait Will had a wide open lane for a layup rebound that was a huge call.

No more layups off the backboard!
AZ pulling away from KU late...
Great question. B1G refs is the only answer I can come up with.
I know. I was just being an a** for the fun of it.
Boswell’s shot went over the plane of the backboard. That is out of bounds.
Get ready, Cooper Flagg’s ankle = Chris Duhon’s rib.Duke might be in trouble depending on how bad the injuries are

Kentucky absolutely craps themselves in the final minute but then hits a buzzer beater to win it
They are small, fairly unathletic for a power conference team, and only have like 3 players so they will l definitely be susceptible to an upset.
Bracket matrix has them as a 4 so they could potentially draw a 13 like High point or Yale. Yale is flat out bigger and Poulakidas would kill Purdue and high points main issue is size but I don't think Purdue would be able to exploit that like other teams.
John Groces Akron is also projected as a 13.

Add "Filipowski's knee" to this as well.
Duke sure does know how to milk the drama around their injuries.
