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.

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.
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)?
-
@bskeet - such as?
-
Ummm… he pretty definitely did not do that. He was pretty clear of his intentions to stay at UCONN.
-
Ended up just like I said you keep Edey honest and make him earn his, don’t let anyone else beat you. It’s the same story as usual it takes elite guards and superior coaching every march. Edey is the best Big in the country by a wide margin, UConn’s guards were light years better on both ends than Purdues.
-
Hats off to Hurley, like him or not, what he has done in past two years is simply outstanding.
He can recruit and coach at a very high level.
-
UConn is feast or Famine by all accounts. The last 25 years they have missed the tournament 9 times but have made 8 final fours and won 6 championships. I guess the question is would you rather have their resume or ours? I’d take theirs all day personally. We have 6 final fours and 2 titles in the same time frame in 9 more chances.
-
Guess I’d stick with ours. When is the last time KU had a losing record? How many times in the past 25 years have we lost 10 or more games? Three losing seasons in a row for them at one point.
-
Just crazy.
3 titles with 3 different coaches in the last 25 years. Luck or when the program is right, it really does pay off
-
@COHawk My guess is that other teams’ fans across the country would answer that - “theirs”. Who doesn’t want 6 titles out of 8 chances. While we regularly get bounced in the second round.
-
@kjayhawks I’m going with ours, though the repeat is a strong weight toward UConn’s - really want one of those baaaaaaad for Self and the Hawks. That said, I’m super proud of our conference streak. And, weirdly, a down coupla years adds pathos to the whole thing for me. I’m optimistic that the NIL era will settle into something that lets me keep on believin’ we will eventually dominate. (I’ve never pretended to be a totally rational fan!!!)
-
@COHawk If your inferring us that would be the correct answer. If you are ignoring where the game was played and when the game was played that is two crucial details in your analysis that is lacking.
-
@Jayblaze Winning the little 12 and flaming out in the tourney is worthless to me.
It’s titles or nothing. Beating 12 teams with the afh advantage isn’t that big of an accomplishment and shows based on our teams buckling in the tourney.
Give me uconn all day long it’s all about titles not conference winning streaks…literally no fan, media or player outside of Kansas cares about that crap.
-
KU and Duke. Favorites to win it all next year.
let the unrealistic expectations begin.
