Which was on full display in that OT. Even the announcers were saying that should of been a charge on him and wasn't a foul on that box out that happened the next time down. That was just infuriating watching the refs hand him those bunnies at the line.
Imagine if Edey’s legacy were losing to double-digit seeds in 4 consecutive tournaments. Could maybe come against a Cinderella 12 in the sweet 16???
PU probably was lucky they lost today. Playing another game they would be very tired after an OT game. They are now going to be angry and can rest. They are still a 1 seed
Edey got 3 gift calls from the refs in OT.

And Matt Painter what in the world were you doing selling out against the 3 like that in those late posessions?
They gave away a couple of huge leverage layups as just freebies.

They’ve grown accustomed to the relocated goalposts.

And STILL they couldn't win it
After cheering for badgers I feel dirty. Need to find some lava soap to scrub that icky feeling off
These were national CBS announcers, that’s why they spoke freely. Big Ten announcers are subject to the same rules about Edey love as the Big Ten refs are.
I would be thrilled to

Meanwhile back in Mpls, we have some business to take care of
I’ve forwarded to two other Illini groups already, with the tagline “Dewey defeats Truman”. The older folks will get it.
If NC State defeats UNC in the ACC Tournament Final tonight, they'll become first team to win 5 games in 5 days in the tournament's history.
From Purdue board, funny but they blame the ref for the loss. Officiating was horrible huh...too funny
I know we aren't supposed to consider this game or tournament a big deal and focus more on the NCAA's but we really had the game right there for the taking and didn't make WI have to work for it. We had double digit turnovers in the second half, most of which were just sloppy passes (Mason Gillis a fifth year senior had about 5 of those turnovers). We also missed a lot of free throws which would have made a difference in the end. Edey lost his composure early for a ridiculous technical which cost him most of the first half. Every game we have lost this year has come down to missed FT's and turnovers. Hepburn had Smith rattled in the OT and after he picked up that marginal offense foul call, he should have been taken out for a taller, more physical defender. Hepburn was killing Smith in the lane the entire game. The pass that Edey missed was really unfortunate and would have sealed the deal but that is not why we lost. The officiating was horrible but what else is new; Courtney Green spells disaster For Purdue. We play like this in the real tourney and we will get bounced again

So I go from watching a game with free flowing offense to watching Iowa State-Houston, which will be a no holds barred defensive street fight.
