Sly, I think they are a 4 seed. Let's not make it harder than it is. :)

Is there any TV coverage for this game? Or are we dealing with ESPN wraparound?

Really not bad... Charlie Creme didn't think Purdue deserved higher than a 6.

Is the B1G that bad? Purdue won the conference tourney and is 13th in RPI.

Does anyone know if the coverage on ESPN2 is still wrap-around...that's what it appears to be according to ESPN's coverage map. Even the Lynchburg area is in black, indicating wrap-around coverage. Is there any way to see the entire, either on TV or online? Thanks!

Roanoke-Lynchburg market gets Liberty, according to the map. But if you have satellite you may have to go through ESPN3. I've had to the past few years.

NCAA first round at Louisville
No. 4 Purdue (24-8) vs. No. 13 Liberty (27-6)
Time: 12:10 p.m.
TV: ESPN2
Radio: WBPE (95.3)
Tickets: All-session, $32. Single-session, $18.
Note: No. 5 seed Louisville plays Middle Tennessee meet at 2:40 p.m. Second-round action is Tuesday at 7 p.m.


LOUISVILLE Just how much does Liberty women’s basketball coach Carey Green appreciate Sam Ostarello’s rebounding skills?

“I could easily put a Liberty jersey on her,” Green said Saturday. “She’d fit with our team really well.”

As No. 4 seed Purdue and the 13th-seeded Lady Flames prepare for Sunday’s Oklahoma City Regional first-round matchup at Louisville’s KFC YUM! Center, rebounding is the major storyline.

Liberty leads the nation in rebounding margin, but the 21st-ranked Boilermakers — behind Ostarello — are determined to limit the opportunities.

Despite the great inbounds pass, we can't successfully complete basic passes. We need to stop the handoff play at the top of the key as well. Purdue is simply sending someone running full speed into the path of the person receiving the handoff and we're picking up the dribble every time.

This is my first time seeing the team all year, and one thing is really standing out. The PG looks at the ball when she dribbles into traffic instead of looking for a passing lane or shot.

My goodness we look s l o w .
We hit a few of our free throws and maybe a few or any shots and we would be in it.
Their white girls are way faster than our white girls.

We have been slow for years. We rely on rebounding and execution.

Purdue 50 LU 29 I was afraid of this. Our play has leveled off considerably with the loss of Emily at the point and with Gardner out as well we are thin. The Big South competition doesn't prepare us for this level and we didn't blow anyone out in the BS tourney. That was reason for concern.

I see the potential in the two redshirt freshmen in the post, but this team desperately needs to spend the entire offseason working on basic dribbling drills.

Was there an honest belief that this year would be any different? I think we have some team speed coming in next year and that should raise our level of play outside the BSC.

I see what you are saying. It looked like one of better recruiting classes.

It's never good to get beat by more points then you score. Lets hope we can get a little spurt of offense

I'd be thrilled if we keep it under a 30 point difference right now.
