Purdue looks pretty shaken. FDU claws and scratches for any chance at a rebound. Shooting is cold for both teams, the final 60 seconds gonna take 30 minutes.

I hope our guys are watching this! FDU is a scrappy team and they're showing everyone how to win.

Agree. They hustle, constantly going after the ball, much like a team of Davion Mitchell's. No quit after a missed shot, just go back to work.

Controversial call coming. Review.

Refs in this game have been iffy on a lot of foul calls.
Looks like boilers ball.

Gonzaga now has a huge lead over GCU.
I flipped channels to watch the upset of the year as 16 seed FDU beat 1 seed Purdue.

Announcers are right - FDU outplayed Purdue all game. (Although Purdue shooting 5-26 from three didn't hurt).
Gonzaga with a 20 point lead again.

Looks like the Lopes are heading home…
Really bad matchup

I mean, how unbelievable can the FDU story be? The only way they got in the tournament is because the actual winner, Merrimack, is still transitioning to D1 and hasn't met all the waiting period. So they are the replacement. Otherwise, the FDU guys would probably be shooting pool in the school rec room tonight watching the tournament.
Thing that worries me most is that Flo's biggest issue is that he typically fouls late in the shot around the rim, and Kalkbrenner is one of the better guys I saw this year at finishing when he's fouled late in the shot. I fear several 3 point plays. But I'm guessing Josh O is also gonna see more time than usual, and we're gonna need him to step up a level too.bear2be2 said:Kalkbrenner is more skilled than athletic/explosive. I'm hoping this will be a matchup where Flo is useful. It's hard to predict, though.DanaDane said:
Creighton it is.
Flo. Big Boy. We need the game of your life Sunday. Just picture Drew Timme every time you see Kalkbrenner.
If only our 7'1 guy, man bun, could contribute.

Interesting stat they just stated: Gonzaga has only had 1 loss in March since 2020. They did not mention what that loss was!

Last year's to Arkansas in the Sweet 16 was the only in March since then.

Miami plays no defense.
It's one wide-open 3 after another for Drake.

That one has always stung. If he had developed as anticipated, we would be able to go Flo/Jon/Josh O/Loveday with big rotations or even 2 bigs (C/PF) in a game like this. I'll always wonder whether Zach just never had the desire to develop or just didn't have the talent. Unfortunately, I have to default to the former instead of the latter because I look at what Drew and staff did with kids like Freddie Gillespie, TJ Maston and a host of others.
It felt exactly like St. Peter's win over Kentucky last year to me. Very similar situations and games (in intensity, not style).gobears20 said:
