Alabama Post Game Thread

[husky429]

11 in a row 13+ margin of victory.

Castle was elite for 32 minutes.

DC is the best player in the country. They don't even want to breathe around him on offense.

Even Newton's heroic shot was an awful play. He started our set way too late. Jacked way too many 3s. He must be better on Monday.

Diarra didn't score but fought like a dog.

Typical quiet game for AK but he had an effecient 14/8/2.

Cam fighting for everything despite being outclassed with physical skills. Typical high IQ winning plays.

Even SJ had a stretch of 3-4 minutes where he did what he needed to do on defense with a couple timely buckets.

Our second half adjustment to defend the 3 was elite.

I don't want to see Alabama anytime soon with that system, it's annoying as hell with all those 3s going up

Every time we were going to pull away, Estrada or Sears hit a tough shot.

Those dudes hit tough shots. Only like 2-3 were objectively "good" looks. Most had a contest. And they made them. Hats off,

Castle was the man tonight, newton with the dagger at end, cam was huge hustle plays all over the place, Alex hit some big ones as well. Total team effort.

Castle won the first half.
Cam won the second.

Felt pretty comfortable early that if each team keeps playing the way they were, UConn would eventually pull away. Alabama shot out of their mind, we were ice cold, and we were still up at halftime. Bama eventually came back down to earth, and it was smooth sailing after that. Credit to them for delivering a great game

Stephon Castle is a 19 year old freshman, and he was just the best player on the court in a Final Four win. Wow.

Let's go Huskies, and bring on Purdue!

Key against Purdue is no foul trouble for DC, give Edey 20 but no open 3s for the others

 

[HuskyWarrior611]

In the last 8 minutes they only had 2 FGs. That crazy 3 from Sears and that last second tip in.

I’m sorry 3. Grant had a layup too.

 

[Dove]

I feel Cam was player of the game. He had a run of defensive rebounds that quelled an Alabama rally.

Castle unloaded his NBA Skills bag. Unreal game, tho he was quiet offensively in the 2nd half.

 

[Jimdish255]

Andrew Hurley’s consecutive tourney game appearances at 11 now. WOW.

Drew a foul to seal it.

 

[Magic32]

Told my family it was like watching Rocky for a bit. Each team slugging back and forth. Castle and Clingan just cemented Top 5 in my book. Sears was a warrior and Alabama's defense better than statistics.

 

[Marat]

Survive and advance ?

 

[controlfade]

They said we can’t win a close game

Was a tough game and still won by 14

I'd like to never play them again.

 

[AntG168]

Omg is Monday night gonna be epic

 

[fatlucy]

i'm worried about Purdue. that Edey guy is pretty imposing.

DOOMED!

 

[HuskyBoi]

It's time to finish the job.

In Hurley, we trust.

 

[jbdphi]

Great team effort. Double digit points from all starters and rebounds spread pretty evenly as well. Only 4 TOs? That’s amazing.

 

[Mazhude]

We get the final everyone wanted. Now we prove we are number one.

 

[Devland]

People worry about Karaban being cold from 3. When we really need it he is money.

 

[TheHorde]

One more. And Cam Spencer is nails.

 

[metsfan2323]

Samson Johnson played the best ball of his UConn career in the second half. Played very well while Clingan rested. He has turned into a solid shot blocker.

Clingan has blossomed into a Superstar.

 

[BugsyCT]

Well, that was a dogfight. Bama had us working for that W. But the team stepped up like they always do and made the plays they needed to.

Monday night should be a classic. One more game from NC banner #6!

 

[uc1519]

Credit Bama. My cheeks were clenched more than any other game this year. But you're going against some beasts and monsters.

 

[JCisthegoat]

They had 0 fast break points? Crazy

 

[Dove]

Alabama had zero fast break points tonight...and led the tourney in fast break points coming in !!!

 

[superjohn]

This team is so damn good. Bama was impressive, they didn't wilt when others did. Each time we put it to them with a run they responded but it seems close to impossible to do it for 40 minutes against us. This is an all-time team in the history of the sport. Just one more to go.
