I thought Clingan would manhandle Edey but so far advantage Edey.

Not taking anything away from Purdue, but UConn is just a complete team. Relentless defense, constant hustle, unselfish, and they are constantly moving the ball and screening. Everybody is screening. Pretty impressive to watch.

My thoughts exactly
UConn bigs in foul trouble could make it interesting.

It was interesting the first 15-16 minutes of the game. Was never really in reach afterwards
Did win a $300 bracket with that win

UCONN is a complete and solid team up and down the lineup, both ends of the court. Game went the way I was expecting, Painter continued to try and feed Eady each and every time down the court, not even trying to get the rest of the team involved offensively. The rest of the team looked awful, but they are not bad players by any stretch. They were not even looking for their shots and it showed. UCONN defended Eady really good and Clingan gave him fits causing several missed shots. UCONN killed them in the boards, and I think that was the only game this season Purdue was outrebounded.
Best team won the Championship, and that doesn't always happen in sports.

It was an entertaining game for a while.
I did enjoy seeing Hurley losing his mind over the Eady non-calls, and there were several. Would love to have the transcript of their interaction after the timeout and Hurley was walking on the court to talk to a ref.

ALABAMA played UCONN better than Purdue did. Almost a full game. Purdue looked lost after 6 min. ALABAMA the only team to give UCONN a decent run IMHO
Won't be surprised if ALABAMA does not leap them ( Purdue) in the polls.
Roll Tide.

I won't be surprised if they don't either. Great point
They didn't, but a great tournament run.
Now hold on a minute…….I thought polls don't matter if you don't win a championship!
Sad attempt at a moral victory
Cam Spencer for UConn is someone you hate to play against. That joker was all over the court putting pressure on anyone and everyone. He gets overlooked cause he's not flashy doing windmill dunks but I'd take one aggressive player like him over two flashy dunkers anytime
I'll tell you someone else I enjoyed watching at that was Smith for Purdue. That little white boy can ball
Yea he is definitely a ball player on defense and offense
FIFY
FIF both of you.
Watched several interviews by coaches and players since the game. UCONN decided to let Eady do what he does and concentrate on stopping the guards. They did that with great success. UCONN's guards annihilated Purdues guards the whole game, completely shut them down from the outside. I do think Purdue would have had a better showing if Painter had ran the offense differently, but there was no way he was going to do that. UCONN was still the better team and by far. Purdue was still the second best team with UT a close third, and Alabama somewhere in the top ten.
