I completely agree (and I agreed with Bellicheck when it came up in the NFL - an offense's job is to score and a defense has to be able to stop them).
I hated seeing those kids lose by the wheels coming completely off. Their offense was bad, their defense was bad - it wouldn't hurt so much if they lost and were competitive to the end, but it is what it is. Brad Underwood was hilarious though - they asked him how they could make the game better and he said "make him (Clingan) a foot shorter."
I'm hoping to see Purdue in the championship against Uconn - I want to see the two 7-footers go at it. And I always root for a Big-10 team.
I saw that too!!! It was very funny (and I don't think the interviewer got the sarcasm.)
I mean, there's no one "easy" at this point. I do know I am grateful that Houston is out; I can't stand Kelvin Sampson. I think he's a cheat and a liar and I don't like his coaching style. Kind of on the DJ Burns bandwagon, though.
I didn't care for Zach Edey's press conference; this "we're the underdog and no one appreciates us" mentality has got to go. He was systematically listing all the programs that passed over him, as some sort of "vindication". C'mon; one, you haven't won anything yet, so you're not quite there yet for "vindication" and two, at least this past year, you were the number one team in the country for the better part of the season and NO ONE is counting you as an "underdog". Two straight games where Clingan DOMINATED, I mean literally CARRIED the Uconn team on his back, and the TBS crew - Barkley, Smith, Kellogg, and Johnson - still called him the "second-best big man in the country". Fair enough, but Zach doesn't get to have it both ways.
