Sunday Night Hoops

Sadly, the Holes have found their stride and will blow past Creighton. But we can still scout Kansas and Purdue for next Friday, and enjoy a few other nontraditional matchups – such as South Florida and Ohio vying for the right to square off against Carolina. Norfolk State is cooked, but perhaps Lehigh can squeeze by Xavier and keep a true underdog alive past the first weekend.

    Those videos are incredible. Wish I was there. Brings back memories of ’74 and ’83. Pack fans are the best fans–loyal and passionate. No jumping off the bandwagon even during 20+ years of frustration and WTF rulings, decisions and personnel moves. Gottfried is handling this beautifully. There is a little bit of V in that man. Go Pack!!!!!!!!

    Thanks for the video link, PackAmy. The second one with Coach and players speaking to the crowd gave me chills! I did get to celebrate the championships in ’74 and ’83, but I was beginning to wonder if I’d live long enough to feel this kind of exhilaration over Wolfpack basketball again. Regardless of where it all goes from here, gotta love it!

    Would we rather play Kansas or a surging Purdue team coming off of two upsets like we’ve done?

  5. BJD95 03/18/2012 at 10:06 PM #

    We have matched up well against teams that get a very significant portion of their offense fron one or two guys. Because CJW can lock somebody down.

    Thus, we want Purdue.

    Heckuva game. Really surprised Purdue hasn’t wilted.

  7. CaptainCraptacular 03/18/2012 at 10:22 PM #

    If Purdue wins the parallels with 2005 will be a bit scary.

    Sweet 16 game vs overlooked bruising big 10 team with Carolina waiting in the wings. #2 seed eliminated. Final 8 there for the taking.

    I agree BJD. I thought we wanted Purdue before the game and watching their points come from a couple players makes me believe it even more. CJW will have hands full with guard (exceptionally quick) or Hummel (height), but he has those type of assignments all year. We can use Leslie (Hummel) and Brown/AJ (guard) as necessary.

    I like how we match up with Purdue. Kansas…not as much.

    Purdue is smart, veteran team with good coach so challenge either way.

    It will be hard to cheer against Hummel. I really respect that guy and think his is a hell of a player.

    No easy games this time of year if you are still playing!!

  11. 1.21 Jigawatts 03/18/2012 at 10:33 PM #

    I think we’re more athletic than Purdue.

  12. beeeejay 03/18/2012 at 10:33 PM #

    Hey if Purdue can hang with KU so can we so either way, we just have to continue to play good defense and hopefully we will be ok. Should be fun

  13. redcanine 03/18/2012 at 10:34 PM #

    I’m pulling for the Boilermakers. There’s no way that Kansas shoots 32% two games in a row.

  14. beeeejay 03/18/2012 at 10:35 PM #

    wth was Purdue doing there?

  15. GotNCState 03/18/2012 at 10:36 PM #

    Have we played Purdue since ’04?

    Disregard- 2.5 sec remain

  16. Lunatic Fringe 03/18/2012 at 10:36 PM #

    We better practice 3 defense this week. Purdue is 50% and Kansas has shown the ability to hit some in second half.

  17. 1.21 Jigawatts 03/18/2012 at 10:37 PM #

    I saw we play Kansas next year for an OOC game.

  18. Lunatic Fringe 03/18/2012 at 10:38 PM #

    What kind of play was that and wow…he scored instead if runnin it out.

  19. JeremyH 03/18/2012 at 10:38 PM #

    so Purdue is doing what we managed to avoid, giving up the lead in the end.

  20. JeremyH 03/18/2012 at 10:39 PM #

    how did Kansas pull that out

  21. Lunatic Fringe 03/18/2012 at 10:39 PM #

    Kansas it is…

  22. 1.21 Jigawatts 03/18/2012 at 10:39 PM #

    So it’s 2 seed Kansas on Friday.

    To be the Best, you have to Beat the best.

  23. Wufpacker 03/18/2012 at 10:40 PM #

    Adidas should like it.

  24. GotNCState 03/18/2012 at 10:41 PM #
