Of course, there had to be just one top seed that lost today, and that one would be my Boilers.   Texas Tech just played great defense and took Purdue out of their offense, where a team that does a great job of scoring and taking care of the ball continuously turned the ball over.  There was a stretch in the first half where the Boilers didn’t score for over 7 minutes.

It was clear Purdue missed their big man – as Texas Tech hurt the Boilers on the offensive side by driving to the basket and the help defense simply wasn’t there.  But not sure even Haas would have made a difference with the way that the Red Raiders played today.   It was an impressive effort to make it to the Elite 8 for the first time ever in their school history.
