4 attempted threes in over 30 minutes of play is something else

Edey is barely a prospect.

I don't believe he has quality starting potential but if you put this man as a first. Back up off the bench.I believe he will be fine..

I would imagine on NBA that do well in attacking on orphans.Anyone who doesn't put a body on him will be giving up rebounds And put backs. Similar but not quite the same as mark williams on charlotte.
Those poor orphans.

My typo's Actually get worse than that at night time.

lol Purdue is still trying to post up Edey when down 17, they really have no other offense, lol.

Game is still somewhat lingering, considering UConn's two bigs have four fouls. I wonder if Hurley will try and steal a minute or two for Singare rather than going small if anyone fouls out.

When was the last time Singare played any minutes?

Congrats on the W! UConn should be considered the best program really by far in the 21st century. This will be 6 titles in 25 years.

UConn making some great reads on the PnR. First half they were getting lobs to the roll man. Purdue adjusted and dropped the weakside guy to cover the roller, but UCons's ball handlers are reading it and adjusting seamlessly.

Congrats Huskies. They are the new bloods. Multiple NC in the last 2 decades or so.

yep exactly. As a guard if you cant get to your spots you better be an insane catch and shoot player or have great size. Purdue has neither.

They have to figure it out, posting up down 17 won’t help them.

Besides garbage time? Probably the game against Stetson.

Why is Smith just walking the ball up the court and killing 10 seconds every possession? They're down 15.

rockmanslim · Post #2136 » by **rockmanslim** » Tue Apr 9, 2024 3:09 am

Purdue too one dimensional, too predictable

This speaks to UConn’s dominance imo. Purdue has been smacking teams all season and they’re down by almost 20.

This has to be the worst supporting cast for a so called great college player to have in a national championship game..

Such a weird way of thinking. The same coach that was able to get them to the finals? One team has to lose, it doesn't mean he's a lesser coach.
