UCONN vs Purdue Championship Thread

[CYedUp]

That felt like a good half by Purdue and they are still down 6

The radio broadcast had it wrong then.

Until Saturday I believe Uconn Trailed for 30 seconds, I think SDSU had a brief lead

 

[Kinch]

I know Hurley is very hateable, but ya’ll still remember how the SEC and the Big Ten almost destroyed our conference right? And ya’ll also do know that Purdue is in the Big Ten, right? Know they are small fish in that league, but screw all of them.

And there is a small chance UCONN joins the Big 12.

 

[Kinch]

Didn’t Keady wear a wig in his coaching days?

 

[ClubCy]

He's Harbaugh on the hardwood.

Damn. First I have heard this one but I like it.

 

[ISUTex]

I get a fake tough guy vibe from Edey.

Eh. Don't know. I wouldn't want to tangle with Edey. Never got that vibe from T-Rex.

Tristen Newton played 4yrs at East Carolina. Now he's doing this stuff for UCONN. Players are out there.

#3 for Purdue has a super punchable face.

I only remember the classic combover.

 

[Kinch]

UCONN much more balanced. Four players seven or more points. Purdue only two.

Loyer too.

They're like the Duke of the midwest.

Don't always trust them.

The state of Indiana back then with Knight and Keady, wow! Not poor refs, but poor refs.

I agree, it seems like they played well and still couldn't stay even. Hurley said he liked the pace and I'm not sure Edey can play enough minutes if UConn controls the clock.

 

[HoopsTournament]

If UConn wins by 5 or more, then they will break the record for the highest margin of victory for a National Champion (since 1985). They won by a combined 125 points in first 5 games. The record is 129 by 1996 Kentucky.

After Knight threw the chair on the court, Iowa State thought Kansas Coach Ted Owens was going to do the same with Johnny’s typewriter, which was used to type the play by play, which was located right next to Owen’s.

He spent more time unsuccessfully wearing it than wearing it.

 

[Gonzo]

Possibly both?

I grew up watching Iowa basketball in the 80s and Gene Keady always scared the sh*t out of me a lot more than Bobby Knight ever did. Dude was severe.

 

[LincolnSwinger]

Edey showing a lot of fatigue.

Painter needed to use his TOs to give Edey more breaks. No reason to end the half with three unused TOs

Kinda like Bob Cummings.
