You’ve deserved all the praise
thank you!!!!
Only Jesus deserves real Praise!!!
@@hardwood_ytOnly Jesus deserves real Praise!!! Love the series tho man
@@hardwood_ytlol all the praise for picking against bama wrong twice, all you do is follow kenpom, march madness is way more than that if you can’t tell with bama and nc state in the final four
@@Icecreamtyler lmaooo I literally picked Clemson to upset Arizona and NC state to upset Duke. Somehow I struck a nerve with you I guess?
I hate being a Purdue fan. Everyone hates us already then we go up against this team so now everyone is even more against us lol
don’t worry, i don’t dislike Purdue as much as I dislike UConn 😂
As a UCONN fan, I am positive on Purdue!
@@daRealB-RexNice!
Iconn fan here, plenty of respect for Purdue, solid program and Painter does things the right way
My gf that left me for my best friend goes to Purdue so I have my reasons
most underrated sports analysis nice, concise, easy to understand/follow make more
THANK YOU HUDSON
Jesus Christ is the only way to be fulfilled. I'm writing this as I just had an encounter with Jesus the Almighty God. I was being tempted by demonic forces. I fell into temptation, and I ran away from the Lord. This hasn't been the first time. I have been on a on and off cycle which seemed to be an endless. But today, I feel called to share this testimony. I watched a video which really opened my eyes while I was still "hiding" from God. It touched my soul to the point that I fell on my knees right away, and begged for forgiveness and guidance. This was beyond anyother feeling I've felt while repenting. This one felt true. I had been like mad at God for being dumped by my this girl I was talking to. So this was a way to be tempted by evil demonic forces. I would get intrusive thoughts, and I kept trying to solve this feeling of being dumped on worldly things. And let me tell you, it only makes it worse. If you're someone who is not sure if you're saved, or if you are saved, but have been going through these on and off cycles such as porn, or secular music(which are other cycles I've been having a difficult time with) I want you to call upon the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the way, the truth, and the life. If you don't know what to do, I want you to get on your knees, and pray this prayer with your heart: Jesus, I believe you died on the cross for my sins, and was ressurected on the third day. I believe you came to the Earth, to pay for our sins. Thank you for dieing on the cross for my sins, in Your Name, I pray, amen. I don't know who is reading this, but if you ever fill an empty whole, which cannot be fulfilled, the only way to fulfill is by Jesus. When you turn your back on Jesus, you seek everything other then him. All worldly things, will never fill that hole. God Bless Yall! ❤😊
Great work man, high quality content in such a small amount of time. Been watching your videos all of march madness
As a life long State fan, I love you for this ❤.
Same, I hope State wins
Can’t believe you guys had rob dillingham committed for this season and then cal stole him

Incredible work putting this together man! So much detail on each team🔥
Did bama so dirty in the thumbnail. Needed a magnifying glass to see Sears and Nelson
Yeah, what is with that? 😂
Bama fans having a victim complex is rich. Lil ole bama being mistreated
@@cornymonkey it’s not about being “mistreated”, as you claim, it’s about being underestimated. Seems like you’re too busy hating to see that though 😂
been following since the Sweet 16 video and this tournament has been absolutely insane! Love watching your breakdowns, I only wish I had caught your videos earlier for some help with my bracket lol. GO PACK!
YESSIR, cant wait for this weekend
Purdue vs the world

Great Video Hardwood Keep Up The Good Work
Best youtuber I have seeen
Great video man, as a bills fan, I’ve had a rough day, so this at least was a great watch.
Man I started watching since round of 64 and this has been my favorite sports analyst channel since. I don’t know how you don’t have more subs but keep up the great work and I know they’ll come
Because this man has Alabama even sniffing a win against UConn and NC state beating Purdue. It's laughable, really.
@@lebski6033anyone can beat anyone on any given day. No team is unbeatable all it takes is a mentality slip up
Great insight!
Thank you!
God, I hope you are right about NC State. I'd bet money, but then we'll only lose.

Underrated basketball KZheadr get this man some followers
Benn watching these thought the tourney 🔥
ayeee!! THANK YOU
Great music
9:25 upside down made me chuckle
Only difference with the Crieghton game is how well Crieghton Defended that night. They did something only they can because they ran UConn of the 3pt line and funneled everything into Kalkbrenner. Bama doesn’t have a defense that can do that, so if they still shoot 50% it will be a track meet.
I really hope Purdue can do it finally. No championship since the 30s
As a boilermaker fan, I really hope you’re wrong! But keep up the great videos
Both UConn and Purdue will win by 10+. They are both on another level than Bama and NC State.
@@lebski6033 I agree both are the better teams, but strange things happen in March (or I guess April now)
You sir, know ball (im an NC State fan)
Yesssss you picked UConn Alabama has a chanc!!
Lmaooo
😂😂real talk
Let’s go!!!
😈
FINALLY someone mentions Uconns blowout loss to Creighton
🔥🔥
👀
Team. Of. Destiny. Go pack!
Being an Alabama football fan, this has got me into basketball and I don’t even like it that much. Hope it’s a good game this weekend. Rtr
Alabama is one of the teams that has been in the final 4 in both football and basketball in one season. I'll admit, the final 4 in basketball is a different feeling than football.
Idk if Bama can stay as hot as we’ve been we struggled against ranked teams in the reg season but playing way better defense now
They did beat Clemson and North Carolina. Somehow. I hope they can keep this tempo going. I think Nate Oats can keep this up.
As a Wolfpack fan and hope u are right.
Go Pack!!
I hope you get 5 nuggets in your next 4 piece.
i’ll go with the hoop state team 🏆
Roll Damn Tide.
Good analysis. But why is the 3rd best player in the final four so small on the thumbnail...
Hard to find the right photos to make it balanced. That’s it. Plus it took my guy about 8 hours to complete so I didn’t ask him to change anything. 😭🤣
UConn will likely play very aggressive man to man defense and will likely also do some backcourt pressing. If this succeeds in slowing down the pace of play that won’t bode well for Alabama. To put it another way, UConn can win in a grind or a track meet whereas Alabama can realistically only win in the latter style of play Whereas - if we have a UConn v Purdue final, expect UConn to try to run them out of the gym
It’s insane how adaptable UConn is.
@@hardwood_yt as a proud alum, I’ve been caught up in this program since walking around Storrs back in 89-91…..haven’t seen anything like this before. I can recall negotiating with girls in our dorm and they agreed to let us drag their tv into the hallway so we could watch unlv at midnight ET. The tarkanian runnin’ rebels was the only thing that I can recall approaching this level of dominance. But they weren’t multidimensional like this! Don’t think coach K’s best Duke teams were as good. Course I just jinxed them!
@@stms4411 that’s awesome lol. You nailed it with being multidimensional. Most teams gotta play their style. This UConn team can play any 😭 I wish I was alive for those Tarkanian teams…my dad tells me stories. I’m currently working on a “The Last Time Every School Made The Final Four” video and was doing super deep research on them. Such fun teams

I have a somewhat obvious question to ask. UConn is great from 2 and bad from 3...has anyone tried to implement a zone against them? Seems an obvious strategy to try. And if anyone has tried that, what were the results?
My guy we are beastttt from 3 we got 4 three point shooters
@@lukebradley7879areee yallll?? Idkk lol
Not bad from 3. But the least 3 games they've been off. I expect that to change
The Zone defence against Uconn won't work for the most part because Newton( who gets frequently fouled), Castle and Diarra can easily penetrate. Or, Castle can post up at the freethrow line and quickly drive through to the hoop whenever Clingan or Johnson steps out(Castle is NBA-level as a slasher). Either that or from there throws lobs or passes to the cutting Karaban and Spencer). Also, Uconn's very good at 3-point shooting, surely not in their last 3 games, but over the whole season they were. If their 3-point shooting returns, then game over for Alabama and winner of Purdue/NCSU. Do you now see why teams have not employed the zone against Uconn?
Most teams can't just switch to zone on a limb. Playing certain defenses takes practice.
Keep doubting us! If this game gets into the 90s, I like my chances. Roll Tide!
ME TOO! RTR
See Illinois game. Both teams in the 20s at halftime. UConn won't let them play at their fast pace. 90s won't happen.
Let me know when the discord drops! Go UConn!
14:46 that didn’t age too well did it? 😂😂😂
Not at all! Went out on a limb. I’m amped to see the two best teams in the nation go at it Monday though!
Yeah it was a good guess, and what everyone was expecting, but nonetheless Purdue managed to pull it out and take it home! Also amazing content dude keep it up!!
@@Shadow_Gaming25 thank you man. Join the discord if you ever wanna give feedback or have ideas ! Would love to hear it all
That 1999 Duke team... lost to the 1999 UConn team...
Ngl, it kinda feels like you did a ton of research on Bama-UConn, then just.... got lazy with Purdue-NC State Burns only plays 22 minutes a game, vs Edey having the ability to play all 40, so it won't nearly be as big a matchup as claimed, and I guess a Bob Cousey finalist in Braden Smith isn't even worth mentioning.
yup i got lazy pulling my 7th all nighter of the march madness season to get this video out! DJ Burns is averaging 32.6 mpg in the tournament outside of the opening round (when he got in foul trouble) and only played 16. It is a big matchup. I also mentioned Middlebrooks and Diarra will most likely be on Edey defensively unless they are getting buried underneath. I didnt mention Tristen Newton much either for Uconn. Him and Braden gonna do their things. I have mentioned Braden plenty throughout this tournament. Don't see him as an X-Factor in this game. I could be absolutely be wrong tho.
If you’re gonna bet. Just bet on the over under. And take the over. These games will be super high scoring
GO PACK! I’ll be there in the nosebleeds
I’m jealous 😭
I’m not a better at all but bet some since all the apps were giving away free money. With that said i invested $60 bucks and have gotten back $2200 already. If nc state wins i get 27k which is awesome. If they don’t pull it off im not mad, but have truly loved watching state play each of these past 10 games!!! Go pack!!
Damn could you have buried Bama farther back in the thumbnail
Go look at my most recent community post. Mark Sears is a focal point. It wasn’t intentional. My designer spent 8 hours on it and we had to shift things from things around to make the images fit.
free bag play 4 u.💰do the women’s as well please.
Go Purdue
Wolfpack!!!
Uconn in another low scoring blowout. 83-66
pretty close
NC STATE IS TAKING IT ALL 📣📣
I got NC State against Connecticut however NC State shoots their load in that Purdue game runs out of steam UConn handily beats them.
NC state for the win
The fact that they lost to seton hall . Seton hall some dogs
State clears and becomes first 11 to win it all
I think Alabama is going to have an incredibly hard time, Grant Nelson is going to have to hit 3s he's a 27% shooter on a low clip, he's not going to be able to get almost any shots against Donovan Clingan inside, I think Mark Sears is going to have an awful time with Castle almost all game, Castle has made the best guards in the country all tournament look awful, they're going to have to take tougher 3s Connecticut's not leaving those open they're taller, more talented, and they'll dictate the pace plays that normally take like 5 seconds are going to take 9-10 then on the defensive side they're going to have to fight through set after set, UConn is a significantly better 3 team than what has been presented in the tournament so far, you can't leave Karaban and Spencer open it's likely Connecticut's going to get their points because of how atrocious the Alabama defense is. UConn 87-71 Alabama
miller #2 pick not 3
Lmao facts I’m an idiot
now why are you not talking about NC State in this video huh what gives it’s really starting to piss me off
how you watched the whole video? i literally pick nc state to win lololol
Alabama isn’t scoring more than 70
side bet 👀
They blow teams out..theres my analytics.
It doesn't matter how you start it's how you finish. GO UCONN....
Alabama isn’t going to win. UConn thrives off making the opposing team uncomfortable & getting them off their schemes. UConn will adjust & adapt defensively as they have all season long. Alabama won’t be able to get as many good looks despite their 3 point prowess & efficiency. I think they don’t score over 70
Repent and trust in Jesus you will be saved I love yall and God bless
NC State will lose by 10+. Braden Smith will be guarding Horne, not Jones. Horne won't be able to drive to the basket. There will be a very large man in his way. NC State would have to shoot lights out from 3 to even be close to beating Purdue. Sounds like you should bet more with your head, not your heart.
States going to win
@@StaySqueezy12very small chance. They’ve lost 14 times this year. Indiana State should have been in the tourney ahead of them.
Every video is soooo skibidi
Thanks Dennis, maybe i'll put ya on my next Underdog entry ;)
Thunbnail is so disrespectful to alabama smdh
It wasn’t intentional at all. My thumbnail guy spent 8 hours on it and we had some issues fitting everyone on. Originally we were going to do 3 players each, but it was too hard, unfortunately the only way to finish it so I could get the video out was to slide Sears and nelson in the back row. There was nothing intentional about the placement of anyone except UConn players in the middle. Sorry you feel that way!
Purdue by 30
Agree. This man thinks Horne can take down Purdue by himself.
@@lebski6033 Horne can drive the bus for Purdue for the next years. I have no problem with that
Can I get pinned ?
I would but i have a sponsor so gotta pin my own haha. Maybe next vid :)
Cooper Flagg is winning it all next year.
Very possible. Duke will be problem.
No need to do a deep dive. 10:34 tells all. Referees officiate the game like its 60+ years ago... only for edey
bad info and clueless.
Thank you so much!!!
How you wanna beat Bama won't get 60?? This will be their worst 3pt game of the year.
100%. It'll be bad.
Purdue is about to lose. LETS NOT FORGET! PURDUE ALWAYS CHOKES
Boilersby90
There are 2 comments I see trending in here. 1). (From the non-Nc state fans) -Purdue will stomp Wolfpack by 10+. Some even said 30points ***WRONG! My boys are playing without fear due to accomplishments recently made. They will cover spread or win. 2) Bama won’t score above 60-70 points. ***WRONG! Bama will also cover spread and score at least 75+. May not win but this is March madness! Personally I hope the Wolfpack wins it all! It’s very possible at this stage of the year. Likely? No, but possible
Bama bama !!!!
