WVU, down three with 30-35 seconds left, dribbles around and takes two terrible threes, gets two offensive rebounds, and ends up not even getting off a third three.

The three point line in some ways has ruined basketball.  WVU had plenty of time to attack, get a two, and play the foul game.  In the Michigan/Oregon game Michigan was down one and had possession twice in the final 30 seconds and shot two threes.

Game turned when Vincent Edwards left with 2 fouls. Purdue has nobody to defend Josh Jackson.

WVU was fouled after the missed free throw layup which led to their game winning 3 pointer.

Of note: Kansas rebounding 41% of its misses against one of the best defensive rebounding teams in the country

[jbcarol]

 RCT‏ @rockchalktalk 15m15 minutes ago

1.26 PPP for Kansas. 1.10 PPP for Purdue

[jbcarol]

 RCT‏ @rockchalktalk 14m14 minutes ago

Both teams will regress from three, Kansas probably won't rebound as well, but they'll turn it over less and probably be better from 2

Was an ugly game all around

[jbcarol]

that was ridiculous.  It was obvious the guy was inbounds. I don't know what they kept looking at unless they were trying to get their breath.

Purdue's PJ Thompson (2) has as many offensive rebounds as the rest of the roster combined. PJ Thompson is 5-10.
