Profile of each player and an unfortunate MU mention in the article. Cannot help but root for the under dog, unless its against MU, eh? They are playing in Philly so I am sure there will be a huge "home crowd" for the game tomorrow against Purdue.

All the other fans in attendance will be rooting for them, but IMO Purdue's size is going to be tough for them to deal with.

I have to admit you get a smile out of me from time to time. Not saying you're one of my favorite posters, but you are quicker than most.

Any other poster, I would have corrected.

Rico is a perfect example of how life is supposed to be, I seldom agree with his non basketball stuff, but Rico is high on the clever meter in my book. Rico and I might not have much in common, yet I think we share a similar sense of humor.

Only if the MODS swap the Women basketball thread for this one and while their at it the US News College rankings thread. Both have nothing to do with all things MU basketball. Though this thread had a MU mention in the article.

I also agree that humor is funny.

how does such a small slow and scrwny team beat elete teams like UK and purdue. how do they beat the elete talent size and speed it just defies logic. might be the craziest run ive ever seen.

I like the reference to Lee's father as Alfred.

Around these parts he was known as Butch.

Making all those free throws even with their best guy missing a front end was the dagger.

Limited turnovers and smart offensive sets. Ivey with nine points, three of which on last bomb shot and six turnovers.

Purdue going with Williams as opposed to Edey was strange.

Fantastic story, but gonna end. UCLA or UNC will smoke them next game.

Edey was missing a ton of bunnies early in the second half. Williams went on a personal 8-0 run to give Purdue the lead back

My dad grew up during the Depression. He was a very proud graduate of St. Peter’s College. Went there at night on the GI Bill after getting out of the Navy at the very end of WW2.

His family never would have been able to afford college.

April 18 will be the fourth anniversary of his passing. He died just short of his 91st birthday. I know for sure he is dancing and having a cold one in heaven right now.

Edey only missed 2 shots.

He did have 5 Tos though and balls kept going through hands.
