@PUBoilingPoints@themaskedboiler Yeah, agreed. Just deducing from his words and how I see Matt Painter & co viewing the whole thing. Fingers crossed he’s ready to roll today.
@YaintKnow@themaskedboiler I think that would be ideal, but if they win tonight they’re gonna need him too much on Saturday. Assuming he can be productive.
@danwoog hi Dan. Please remove your support for SB 26-131. This opportunity was voted on by the people, and if you don't represent us by listening to OUR vote, you will lose my support. Thank you.
@ProFootballDoc Any idea when we might hear an update from the school? Like would they know by now if it’s a bone bruise vs just a ‘scare’? Is there even a real shot he plays this weekend?
Sources: Iowa State's Joshua Jefferson (ankle) is "continuing to progress" after suffering an injury last Friday in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
DNP in last game.
Averages 16.4 PPG, 7.4 RPG, and 4.8 APG.
Cyclones face Tennessee on Friday in the Sweet 16.
A quick blurb on Texas in the West Region. We originally gave the Longhorns a 7.8% chance of making it to the Sweet Sixteen. They overcame those odds, knocking off #41 NC State, #29 BYU, and #18 Gonzaga. Texas's current calculated chance to make it to the Final Four is coincidentally also 7.8%, up from their original probability of 0.8%.
Texas underperformed their season norm in six of their final seven games before the NCAA Tournament. They've flipped the script and have overperformed their season norm in each of their three tournament games.
@haslametrics No. No this one is concerning. I want you to take it down. Surely nothing bad will happen and Purdue will make this tweet pointless. Right? RIGHT?
@fwwlou@theblockspot That had nothing to do with the refs. And to do with them fouling at the end after straight up giving up lol.
You were on upset alert because their star player was expected to play, and was ruled out in layup lines.
@YaintKnow@theblockspot lol refs were bad both ways, any more excuses u can come up with? If ucla was so injured why did everyone put us on upset alert
@fwwlou@theblockspot There’s no basis to the fact you faced a substantially different team when a top offensive collegiate player from said team was missing? Also, calling it a “16 point win” is disingenuous considering the free throw situation at end. 8-10 is more like it.
@fwwlou@theblockspot Ivisic avg 6.8 ppg, chinleyu 10.9 ppg (and lost to bottom big 10 team), Zuby went for 18 and 21 (averages 16)… Bilodeau averages 18 ppg but somehow wouldn’t outperform the other centers. Thats 4 more points per game than UConns best player. That’s the impact player missing ln
@fwwlou@theblockspot Yeah and they were missing a top player in the country that would’ve actually challenged Reed at the rim and dropped 20. That would be like you guys showing up without Karaban last night
