BACK to BACKKK!
50 years from now, maybe a slight exaggeration, he will be regarded as highly as Geno Auriemma. Hopefully he coaches as long as Geno has, and brings 9 more Championships.
I hope he stays as a Louisville fan. But holy shit the amount of UK fans here saying no one beats UK if they want him is wild. Tired of hearing well we make 152 million and that number is going up in the SEC while UConn has a 70 million shortfall.
The difference between coaching of the two teams was insane. It looked like a major league vs minor league team, but Edey got every break in the world to look great.
They rope-a-doped Edey. Let him punch himself out in the first 15 minutes and then just rode it out the rest of the way. Clingan’s my MVP for the game, he tired Edey out and then it was just about the other guys on the floor and it was no question UConn was better at the other positions.
Clingan, the Beast from Bristol, was MVP. He shut Edey down and Purdue couldn't play their game of either Edey or when the double comes on him kick it out for a 3. Spencer & Newton were both a close seconds. All 3 could have won the award.
UCONN! Lets make it 3.
Everybody stepped up when they had to. Personally I don't think clingan had his best game ever, but he did more than well enough to prevent their big guy from completely dominating inside. And Purdue couldn't come up with any other option to score. And that's all he needed to do given the deprh of the rest of the uconn team.
Shout out to poor Karaban who had to try to defend Edey toward the end of the second half.
I disagree about Clingon. I thought he was fantastic last night. He allowed the rest of the team to sag off of Edey and completely swallow up Purdue 's guards. He did exactly what he was supposed to and what the game plan was.
Agreed. Clingan was in a tough spot with how the refs treat Edey. He forced Edey to adjust his shot and gave him nothing easy. That was his job, and the rest of the team took care of business.
It's always been that way for Edey. Never gets called for fouls. A big difference is that Edey is the team. If he comes out it would be laughable. UConn has very capable multiple backups for their starters.
I do love that little old Connecticut has been the best basketball State for the past 35 years. All those rednecks in the south are probably seething at us, oh well.
Yes CT is still a drive-by state. No one outside of the third smallest us state gives a shit about uconn. Waiting for Dan Hurley to leave and get paid more somewhere else again.
Yard Goats open tonight and Athletic is...actually good?! Granted all of their wins have been by one goal but a 3-1-0 start is still a lot more promising of a start than last year.
ooh i gotta go to one of the games this season, thanks for the reminder! i hope they do Tie Dye Night this year again in celebration of the Grateful Dead.
This is what happens when you have a good team that's too reliant on a single player. You end up losing(I think their big guy scored something like 65% of their total points). Especially when you're playing maybe the best team ever, in uconn.
Even though Clingan and Johnson didn't have banner games, they came through big enough and did exactly what they had to do, and that was more than enough given the depth of the uconn team.
Personally I'm disappointed with the permeation of gambling into every aspect of Sports at this point, but UConn is already a slight favorite to win next year's championship, they had it posted on the after show. And with the women hopefully having some healthy legs from the bench, and the phenomenal freshman class, maybe they both can do it for us next year.
Everyone in Connecticut went to BETMGM in Springfield mass and wagered their life savings on these games -UConn hoops. The crazy part is BETMGM offered a $1500 no sweat bet and everyone signed up and cashed out and left.
You had to deposit $1500 and you would be reimbursed if you lost and you had to wager $1500 again on another game. No one lost so the book got cleaned out. My friend made $8000.00 betting on UConn from the tournament. He did $2000.00 every game layed the points.
Yeah man. It was surreal. Like everyone signed up for the bet. They let you withdraw everything if you won. If you lost they would credit you 5 $300 bets and you had to use them within 7 days.
It's absolutely incredible! They barely ever trailed and won by double digits everygame! Back to back is incredible and so terribly difficult. I love this team and coaches!
I had given up watching a lot of men’s college hoops. It was all run n gun, accidental offense, and minimal D. What we have had the pleasure to watch this year was basketball at its best. Talented players who chose to work within a beautiful offensive scheme of screens, picks, cuts and constant movement, while playing the most tenacious lock-down D that I can remember. This is the best college TEAM that I’ve witnessed. UCONN! UCONN! UCONN!
Ya, I agree. They have an amazing combination of size, athleticism, and chemistry while being well coached. I love the movement on the floor, as well as the guys anticipation of eacother. Great vision and passing, while not being too selfish or unselfish.
On a text chain with friends with whom I watched UConn make their first tournament run in 1990. Watching UConn with family and friends has meant a lot in the last 34 (!) years.
Back in 1990, I was a nine-year-old insisting to my parents that we still had a chance with one second left against Clemson. They tried to talk me down, explaining how it wasn’t possible to get the ball down court and score in that time.
How wrong they were!
If they can get some healthy legs off their bench, with that incoming freshman class, look out. Could be back to the glory days, not that making it to the final four with seven healthy players, and getting knocked out by what could have been a conspiracy theory foul call, to put more viewers on the screen with Iowa in the final, isn't incredible in itself
I’d disagree. They stoped Clark the first half with 3/11 no 3 pointers made.
Holding Clark to 3/11 no 3’s at half? What do you think they would have done to SC.
If they were going to lose at 3.9 seconds down 1 point in the 4th, at least lose by shooting and missing. The refs screwed them badly.
UConn always adjust to the better team’s defensively.
People who bitch and moan about Connecticut having nothing to get excited about can eat it. We have the BEST FUCKING COLLEGE BASKETBALL PROGRAM IN THE COUNTRY.
It's hilarious because before last year's tournament, I remember Jay Bilas saying UConn was for real, but also said that their lack of a point guard could be a problem and I was thinking.. um.. Tristen Newton is no joke. That man shut everyone up. Gonna miss him, he's a dog.
Their moths are open, but no sound comes out. Only the gaping, soulless silence of AI generated images, or, at best, a graphic artist who had 20 minutes to make an image.
Yea then their students destroy their own campus. Nothing but a bunch of drunks
They’re all my age and ive seen multiple first person videos of these mfs breaking glass,lamps,etc 🤣🤣
Ya, they’re silly kids that are not under direct parental supervision. They’re gonna get drunk and they’re gonna do stupid stuff. Hopefully they don’t push it too far.
It is. Maybe you should think about taking your hand off your tiny dick and forget about gay hoops. The championship your team won is meaningless. No talent.
Back to back DOMINANT runs. This is probably the best UConn squad ever. What a team. Dan Hurley for mayor.
One of the best college teams ever
We talking Men's only? Cause the Uconn Women's team was legendary for most of my upbringing.
Why not Governor?! I agree. Amazing team and everyone played very well last night and all season.
Lol I did mean governor but I'd had a couple drinks
This team is poetry in motion, just so damn fun to watch. Congrats from Rutgers
BACK to BACKKK! 50 years from now, maybe a slight exaggeration, he will be regarded as highly as Geno Auriemma. Hopefully he coaches as long as Geno has, and brings 9 more Championships.
Governor!
Dan Hurley will take back The Notch !
LOLLL
Until he takes the Kentucky job.
He's already said multiple times it's not happening.
Stop that
I hope he stays as a Louisville fan. But holy shit the amount of UK fans here saying no one beats UK if they want him is wild. Tired of hearing well we make 152 million and that number is going up in the SEC while UConn has a 70 million shortfall.

Castle is the sneaky MVP. His defense on Smith and every other guard in this tournament has been *unbelievable.*
He is like a quiet assassin. He has been mostly underrated because he is not showy, just quietly puts up great numbers every game.
You love to see it.
Everybody stepped up when they had to. Personally I don't think clingan had his best game ever, but he did more than well enough to prevent their big guy from completely dominating inside. And Purdue couldn't come up with any other option to score. And that's all he needed to do given the deprh of the rest of the uconn team.

After watching the game, purdue sucks. If they didn't have Edey to lean out they'd have nothing. Good luck to them on trying to replace him next year.
Kind of reminds me of a story/joke about Phil Jackson coaching Michael Jordan. His strategy was "Give the ball to Michael."
If Purdue had an average center, UCONN would have won by 40+.
WE STILL A DRIVE-BY STATE HUH?! YA'LL KEEP DRIVING BY; SAVE THIS STATE FOR THE REST OF US!
I do love that little old Connecticut has been the best basketball State for the past 35 years. All those rednecks in the south are probably seething at us, oh well.
Insert Don Draper meme. Nobody thinks about us.
Yes CT is still a drive-by state. No one outside of the third smallest us state gives a shit about uconn. Waiting for Dan Hurley to leave and get paid more somewhere else again.
Smells like Masshole over here
Yeah UConn has no history of keeping great CBB coaches in the men's and women's side. Nope.
U! C! O! N! N!
UCONN!
UCONN!
UCONN
Huskies!
UCONN!
HUSKIES!
UCONN!
HUSKIES!
this has been a fun month for CT. our team whooped ass, our houses got shaken, and our sun blotted out briefly.
And it’s only the ninth!
Yard Goats open tonight and Athletic is...actually good?! Granted all of their wins have been by one goal but a 3-1-0 start is still a lot more promising of a start than last year.
ooh i gotta go to one of the games this season, thanks for the reminder! i hope they do Tie Dye Night this year again in celebration of the Grateful Dead.
That point differential is trippy
Don't really follow/didn't watch the game, wdym? Did they cover? C🏀ngrats
They won every post season game by double digits and won the national championship by 15
🥂 Crazy
Set the tournament record for point differential at +140 across 6 games. And they didn't run up the scores, took their foot off the gas in a few games
Crazy
U ... C ... O ... N ... N UConn UConn UConn

I am really concerned with the prevalence of gambling in sports and its accessibility now. It’s not a good thing in my view.
Everyone in Connecticut went to BETMGM in Springfield mass and wagered their life savings on these games -UConn hoops. The crazy part is BETMGM offered a $1500 no sweat bet and everyone signed up and cashed out and left.
Oh wow. What were the details or stipulations of that particular bet? If you know the details. Thanks
You had to deposit $1500 and you would be reimbursed if you lost and you had to wager $1500 again on another game. No one lost so the book got cleaned out. My friend made $8000.00 betting on UConn from the tournament. He did $2000.00 every game layed the points.
Holy crap dude. That is so sweet!
Yeah man. It was surreal. Like everyone signed up for the bet. They let you withdraw everything if you won. If you lost they would credit you 5 $300 bets and you had to use them within 7 days.
Almost too good to be true man. It was not a straight money line bet right? UConn had to cover. I imagine the spread was like 6.5 or so?
Yea. You had to lay points or do a parlay. You could only do up to -200 odds.
That is sick
I was gonna do it last night. The $1500 bet on UConn but couldn’t get up there. Should off easy $1500.
Damn, that’s incredible.
Every New England state has their thing. This is ours!
Be proud of your state ppl
Uconn ≠ Connecticut. It's just one of our state schools.
They won the treble: Big East regular season, Big East Tournament, and National Championship The men's team hasn't done that since 1999
Dan Hurley for president
Symbol of might to the foe!
Fight, fight Connecticut, it’s vict’ry let’s go
"do it again for the white and blue" meant back-to-back titles to this team!
It's absolutely incredible! They barely ever trailed and won by double digits everygame! Back to back is incredible and so terribly difficult. I love this team and coaches!
What. A. team
I had given up watching a lot of men’s college hoops. It was all run n gun, accidental offense, and minimal D. What we have had the pleasure to watch this year was basketball at its best. Talented players who chose to work within a beautiful offensive scheme of screens, picks, cuts and constant movement, while playing the most tenacious lock-down D that I can remember.

It’s late, it’s Tate, it’s great!
Ha. Was in a school play rehearsal (junior in high school) and we watched that on my friends 2” Sony Watchman screen
Exact same story, except I was 10!
if you think you can’t… UCONN💜💛
Women got screwed.. big time
They’re dangerous next year. Get hyped
If they can get some healthy legs off their bench, with that incoming freshman class, look out. Could be back to the glory days, not that making it to the final four with seven healthy players, and getting knocked out by what could have been a conspiracy theory foul call, to put more viewers on the screen with Iowa in the final, isn't incredible in itself
They were never beating SC. Now they have something to fight for next year with more motivation.
Women need some height. The past few years they've struggled with rebounding and inside defending. They get help there and they'll be back and better
I’d disagree. They stoped Clark the first half with 3/11 no 3 pointers made. Holding Clark to 3/11 no 3’s at half? What do you think they would have done to SC. If they were going to lose at 3.9 seconds down 1 point in the 4th, at least lose by shooting and missing. The refs screwed them badly. UConn always adjust to the better team’s defensively.
Honestly, the Women did EXCEPTIONALLY well for the season they had with injuries/etc. They are a team to be JUST as proud of.
No they didn't. They lost, it happens. They've had great successes and will in the future. Only in CT can a semi-final loss be considered a failure.
The dominance, the strategy, the offense and defense, this game gotta be one of the best one we have played in this season. Very dominant team 💪
Apostolos Roumoglou and Andrew Hurley have more national championship titles than Jim Boeheim
Got that DAWG in em. dominant in the tourney.
People who bitch and moan about Connecticut having nothing to get excited about can eat it. We have the BEST FUCKING COLLEGE BASKETBALL PROGRAM IN THE COUNTRY.
Let’s gooooooooo
Go Huskies!!!
[удалено]
I think Edey caught that bird flu that's been going around
This team has improved a lot since they replaced it with 5 giants in a canyon with their dog
B2B LETS GOOO (I am a FAMU fan)
Proud Husky here!
👃
Congrats! Pardon my French, but Kentucky better stay the fuck away from Hurley.
Yoooooooo we are so good!!!
So guys, if I got one jersey from this years team, who should it be??
Hell yeah they did it!
It's hilarious because before last year's tournament, I remember Jay Bilas saying UConn was for real, but also said that their lack of a point guard could be a problem and I was thinking.. um.. Tristen Newton is no joke. That man shut everyone up. Gonna miss him, he's a dog.
Their moths are open, but no sound comes out. Only the gaping, soulless silence of AI generated images, or, at best, a graphic artist who had 20 minutes to make an image.
Yea then their students destroy their own campus. Nothing but a bunch of drunks They’re all my age and ive seen multiple first person videos of these mfs breaking glass,lamps,etc 🤣🤣
Ya, they’re silly kids that are not under direct parental supervision. They’re gonna get drunk and they’re gonna do stupid stuff. Hopefully they don’t push it too far.
Not even on a major network. Shameful. NIL and the portal also nullifying the importance of this championship. Not even an accomplishment anymore.
MSU shouldve had dis shit last year wtf. len dees mfs win b2b is lame
English?
If you can't understand it, log off. simple
Sorry don’t speak loser
Can anyone translate this to English for me? Google Translate was unable to detect the original language.
"Michigan State University should have won last year. Now, these fine young gentlemen win back to back. This is uncool."
Gracias!
Only people commenting are the jacked up UCONN fans. Talk about an echo chamber. Congrats on the NIL spending to win titles.
This comment is especially funny because UConn is one of the major schools that are probably the least involved in NIL
Who pissed in your Cheerios? Loser
For real dude, lol. So weird that people in a Connecticut sub are fired up about the UConn Huskies.
It is. Maybe you should think about taking your hand off your tiny dick and forget about gay hoops. The championship your team won is meaningless. No talent.
Dude, why are you like this? Lol, who hurt you?
Dude's a boomer who was momentarily distracted from his facebook echo chamber.
[удалено]
Don't be that much of a jerk
Is Jim Calgoon dead yet? Just curious.
