I’m at 99.2 percentile in one of the ESPN brackets & 97 percentile in another - -not winning squat - -help me though picking U Conn
-
@jayballer67 I’ll pick them too. That way they’ll lose!
Go Connies!
-
In Vegas for work so plopped down a crisp $20 on UConn money line and posted up in the book for awhile. BOILER UP
-
I may be wrong but I just feel U Conn is going to do it again–I just feel they better and actually looking at a 10 point win if not more.- - I just think with all the cuts they make, passing & movement, fluid they are just better. Could be wrong , should be interesting.
-
I dunno Edet has that look of a guy that says - - I am not messin around, like he is ready to kick butt and take names , I dunno I just think U Conn gonna take it right at him - -time will tell
-
Well , well , well good start both teams. what a match up 7’4 - -vs - 7’2
-
Edey is playing with fire.
-
Dam Edey is the MAN --dam, already 11 points - -couple of blocks, just muscling his way
-
@patoh3 I don’t care for either team, but I’m pulling for Purdue.
-
Uconn learning about the Edey whistle. @Crimsonorblue22 why no love for Purdue?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Same. On my hierarchy I have Purdue ahead of UConn. I don’t want UConn to have back to back. I don’t mind the players on UConn, but Hurley is insufferable.
-
Sorry to put you on the spot Crimson, I just have always thought Purdue does things right, their fans are decent, high academic standards, no shenanigans that I can remember.
-
Loves strong! I think we’ve beat Purdue a few times, anybody remember? I know they had a big guy I was afraid of and we did great. Hurley, ugh! Main reason.
-
Love watching well played ball. Mercy like they said , thee is a reason Edey is the player of the year. - Edey , not only tall but Big/very solid
-
Best I’ve seen Edey play.
-
That’s why I don’t like Hurley! Coach K!
-
Wow, an opposing coach goes out and confronts an opponent who’s walking off the floor? Not many coaches can get away with that.
-
Edey looks good and already getting calls, I just turned it off. Edey travels often and constantly throws elbows with zero whistles. I honestly don’t care who wins. If Im Uconn, I let Edey work for his but make sure no one else gets anything.

Glenn (Big Dog) Robinson and his 45 tournament points is reason enough for me.
-
Poor Hurley is crying on the sidelines.
-
@patoh3 And has gotten 3 whistles since.
-
Newton of UConn has defensive philosophy of hack, grab, pull & shove. 1 foul.
-
Hurley lost it on the last Edey bucket.
-
Things starting to swing U Conn way just a little
-
@Gorilla72 That was what I meant when I said that above. He slapped the floor.
-
Purdue usually pretty good shooting 3’s aren’t they or am I thinking of someone else ? - -If it is Purdie, U Conn is taking the three away
-
HUGE THREE
-
Hurley is not wanting Purdue to catch fire on the 3. They hit one and he calls an immediate timeout.
-
Crazy how much better Purdues conditioning is than ours. Edey has sub out for a total of 33 seconds the last two games. Our guys are exhausted after 31 minutes.
-
I was really surprised with the conditioning of KU this year.
-
Don’t know why the shot clock doesn’t reset on a jump ball when the offensive team has the arrow.
-
I’m seeing moving screens by UConn. Sometimes a straight shove.
-
I am officially resigning my position as kubuckets prophecy dude.
A couple of weeks ago I proclaimed that, due to the portal and NIL, no team would ever win back to back championships again.
I am a dumbass.
-
Lynette fights back. I love it! https://x.com/barstoolsports/status/1777011554971521135
-
An observation:
Edey would steal Dickinsons Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles lunch box, eat his lunch, throw the lunch box into a mud puddle and stomp the mud puddle dry.
-

I would guess because they “retain” possession as if the tie up did not occur, and are not “awarded” possession as the defense is which is then a new possession?
-
Game getting won in the Backcourt.- - U Conn has edge of 29 - -12 - - Purdue has got to get their guards going , get involved---- - really need to get Jones going, of course he was in foul trouble early
-
@mayjay I think you’re right, but when it comes at the end of a shot clock it’s like a loss of possession as it leads to a quick and frequently missed shot.
-
@wissox I actually think they should always award the ball to the defense on a tie-up. And the losing team should get the ball to start the second half. And the teams should have beer during their breaks.
-
@mayjay I think Huggins used to have beer during his breaks
-
Danger time for Purdue
-
I’m all in for the beer idea. KU fans too, should always have free
.
-
I see that back to back coming.- - - -Kentucky going to throw the bank at Hurley is what’s being said. - -I don’t think he leaves U Con
-
@jayballer67 and UConn’s three point line D has been awesome. They are guarding well out to the arc forcing Purdue to drive the ball……1 three tonight
-

ya , that’s what I was saying earlier. I thought it was Purdue that was really good on their three point shooting, and U Conn has flat taken that away
-
Looks like going to turn out and be right. I said I thought U Conn would Probably win by 10 plus and looks like that is how it’s going to turn out. Not that I necessarily wanted it to but---- U Conn is just really , really, good
-
@jayballer67 It’s 2024 modern basketball.
Guards are dominating just like you said. We won’t have the best guards and wings next year hence my constant negativity this year and projecting for next
Bill getting passed by the game cause he’s too stubborn to adjust
What he values in guards doesn’t translate to 6 titles in 25 years….
-
@jayballer67 Purdue sucks honestly all Eden and nothing else. Their guards are slow and trash. Big 10 is a joke and elevated them higher than they are
-
@kuballin10 UConn only lost 3 games this year; who in the heck was able to beat them??
-
Am I the only one that heard Hurley drop hints in the post-game interview that he was leaving (going to Kentucky)?
