Bags Final 4 LARGE **NC State vs Purdue**

Purdue -9 (LARGE)

NC State hasn’t faced a team with a physical big in the paint…

Texas Tech- C Washington was out most of the season, and played sparingly vs NCST.

Oakland - Townsend is 6’6 and scored 30pts, grabbed 13 boards, and 9 assist. If a 6’6 guy did what he did in the paint, imagine what 7’4 300lbs Edey would do. 

Marquette and Duke - Marquette’s  Ighodaro  and Duke’s Filipowski are not physical bigs…in fact they’re prob the 2 least effective  bigs in the tourney going against more physical bigs. Proof in the pudding…Ighodaro was 2/6 with 6 pts, and Flip was 3/12 for 11pts….5/18 shooting shows how NC State got through to these 2 good teams w/o a true Center.

Purdue ROLLS 

Fill em’.

Interesting 

Man I want to tail but you go on streak and seem to be on a bad one with that SD state pick

I saw some ESPN pundits all over DJ's points prop.  I couldnt help but laugh.  

Good luck with your plays ! 

Ben middlebrooks is the answer

BAGS 

Good luck Bags.

 And Diarra, 6'11" and long. Edey vs the NC State trifecta of Burns, Diarra and Middlebrooks. Just gotta let them play, should be interesting!

Comments like this are why Purdue will roll NC State.

It's the #2 offense against the #140 defense. It's a mismatch of epic proportions. 

NC State is overplaying their analytics and that can only go so far. They haven't experienced a force like Zach Edey.

He's 13.5 that sounds kinda low and baiting overs 

@LB_Dirtbags

 What if Eddy is in foul trouble early?

BOL on NC State myself

Too bad Eddy can't get any NIL money. He deserves it more than anyone in this tournament.

Let's go BMers. 

I'm taking the books side

9.5 hasn’t moved - I teased NCS getting 16.5 so I hope that cashes 

@CALB

It’s not happening. Edey hasn’t fouled out all season and avg’s 2 fouls p/ game in the tourney. 

I’m taking a small nibble @ Bama +11.5

Why?

As we know, game is in Glendale, AZ. 

Uconn is playing far from home unlike the last 4 in NY & Boston.

Alabama has played 4 west coast games…Spokane & Los Angeles. 

Alabama avgs 90 pts ppg. Lowest they’ve scored in 72 all season. They’ll be able put up points. DD dog is working in your favor imo. Illinois plan was working in the 1H, but 2H adjustments were horrible and Hurley executed. If Bama doesn’t learn from what Illinois did, and lose in a blowout, then their coach s/b fired. 

Bama 1 week to game plan and west coast game is where my $ is. 

@LB_Dirtbags

 2 fouls called per game....he actually commits about 12 fouls per game .. guy's been getting away with murder especially on the offensive glass

first off, I love watching DJ Burns play.. the young man has a love for the game and his teammates have a love for each other that has lead to their success.

Secondly, playing against a 7'4" giant is a completely diff animal..  IF Edey stays out of foul trouble, then NC St is in trouble. 

GL Bags!

LB......

I agree with you that Purdue rolls here, Burns has had a great Tourney so far (reminds of Barkley) but the matchup here with Edey wil be too much imo.  

Purdue covers a a Fav and Alabama covers as a Dog. 

If eddy guards burns he could get  a couple fouls early then its game on.
