Iowa v. South Carolina had 14.2 million viewers.

I didn't realize that number came out seeing as they haven't played yet.

What's the attendance of this game?  60K?

[Johnny B]

Ugh watching this wishing like hell it was MU.. maybe one day

[Uncle Rico]

Start the bus.  This game is over.

Start the bus.  This game is over.

Doesn't look good.  Terrible foul by Burns.

We missed a tremendous opportunity.  Extremely upsetting.

Oops. Obviously UConn.

[lawdog77]

Was there a prop bet on number of over and backs ?

[MuggsyB]

This looks over.

How TF did we lose to this team?

[Johnny B]

How TF did we lose to this team?

4-31
Oso kidnapped and replaced with clone who can’t play basketball

4-31.   All that mattered.

[jesmu84]

I know.

Just so painfully brutal to watch

Terrible. 

[MU82]

NCSU playing the “let good shooters take wide-open 3s” defense that somehow got them to the Final Four. Not working too well in the 2H.

I think it's actually more about their offense.

[Zog from Margo]

Very true. Would have helped to have someone at the 4 or 5 who could score in traffic at the hoop or get to the line, but that shooting from 3 was the story.

Would have been nice for my male pattern baldness to magically reverse.   Life is full of disappointments.   MU went 56-17 over the last two seasons doing exactly what frustrates you.    MU shoots a typical percentage from 3 and wins.   Played good defense.  Made lay ups.  One factor and one factor only.

Shaka said it is one of the most volatile stats and one of the most important.

[tower912]

Purdue hitting 3s at a near normal pace.   Huh.

We couldn't score inside which led to a lot of threes attempted.   It was a very, very, very, frustrating performance.

Looks like one of the same refs who Reffed Marquette NC State is Reffing NC State Purdue

[Johnny B]

Where do these garbage teams find the magic to go on runs like this? I’ve never heard of a power conference team be so awful in the regular season and then flip a switch and dominate to the final four. And that’s including the acc tournament. Party’s over now though

[MarquetteMike1977]

Not sure why but had a feeling when Diarra got upset with Edey for picking him up it would be bad for NC State and beneficial for Purdue and boom 12-1 Purdue run.

[tower912]

Marquette shot better from 2 than did NCState.  MU shot more free throws and had a higher percentage than NCState.  MU won the turnover battle and held their own on the boards.

1 stat, and 1stat only.  9-23 vs 4-31.

MU won or broke even everywhere else.

[Spaniel with a Short Tail]

The woman interviewing Edey was at about elbow high and probably wearing heels.
