Just a reminder for the guy that says UCONN has been dominate for 30 years.

Well Dan here is your record after your first 3 years at UCONN:
16-17 No Tourney
19-12 No Tourney
15-8 Covid Year Tourney

We would fire Dan Hurley if he had that record here. Instead we can bitch about Tommy not making it past the sweet 16 in his first 3 years.

Hurley's track record is indisputable, and who knows how many more rings he might rack up if he remains at UConn?

But he's also a jackass.

So we get a shot of Tad Fucking Boyle celebrating, TWO shots of Washington St., but the best they do for us is Clemson scoring on us?!

Fuck this.

Gotta say that's a stacked UConn team. The final half was reminiscent of the Women's final. Clark gets a hot start and then shut down late and no hope for Iowa.

Also SC, like UConn, was a stacked team with even the bench players, freshmen even, coming in an hitting big shots and playing shut-down D.

I think the key to UConn's victory was that they seldom needed to double team Edey when he got the ball; this allowed the defense to extend on the perimeter and shut down PU's three-point attempts. PU averaged 8 made threes per game in the tourney, but made only 1; even more impressive, PU only attempted 7!!

When Arizona played PU in December, the big task was to shut down Edey as much as possible; and, in the first half they succeeded with strong D from Ballo/Krivas, and quick double-teaming when ever the ball went inside to him. At the time, PU was not known for three-point shooting, and it appeared that Arizona was accomplishing it's goal. But PU shot 10/24 from three, and that broke down Arizona's whole strategy.

Arizona shot 52% FG's (32/62) & 38% (6/16) Threes, Arizona assisted on 24 of 32 made FG's - AZ's centers (15 points) were 7/11 FG's - That's good offense, scoring primarily off designed sets!!!

PU shot 54% FG's (35/65) & 42% (108/24) Threes, PU assisted on 22 of 35 made FG's - Edey (22 points) was 8/15 FG's - That's good offense BEACUSE OF PERIMETER SHOOTING!!

I'm sure that much more went into UConn's strategy development vs PU, but, certainly the AZS/PU game was an important lesson!!!

Seeing Purdue called PU is hilarious to me.

That is pretty funny, never thought of it that way.
