Bama was Better than Purdue I tried to tell you

I really hope we all took a lot of time to reflect and appreciate this team as the season was happening. This was truly one of the most dominant teams I’ve ever seen play. 37-3 and NCAA champions. This is NOT normal.

Tristen Newton. The cool and calming presence. 20 points, 7 assists, 5 rebounds

Cam Spencer. He WANTED this. 8 rebounds, most in the game except for Edey.

Steph Castle. 90 foot defense all night. No fear from the freshman. 15 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists

Alex Karaban. Shot wasn’t falling so he crashed the boards for 3 offensive rebounds and played great defense all night.

Donovan Clingan. Matched up against the 2 time NPOY and made him WORK. I’ve never seen Edey that tired. He got his, but DC made him work for it, which opened up the game for us.

Hassan Diarra. 13 minutes but scored 9 points and had the same, lockdown defense as Castle.

Samson Johnson. Fouled out but didn’t back down. It takes guts to rise up for a dunk knowing Zach Edey is near by, and he had 2 electric ones.

Dan Hurley. There were 16 coaches in the history of the game with multiple titles. Now there’s 17. Dan Hurley has tied guys like Bill Self, Rick Pitino, Jay Wright, and Billy Donovan. Legendary company for a legendary coach.

Lets. Go. Huskies.

Tristen Newton now has back to back championships and back to back Final Four MOP awards. Put him on the wall the second he steps back onto campus

Great call.

We suffocated everybody else and challenged Edey to be enough -- and he wasn't, even though he scored ton.

Sanogo won last year but yea agree with the sentiment

 

[sdglast]

Hurley's quote in the post-game interview was telling. He said UConn gives him everything he needs to win. I think the message was clear....I am not going anywhere. This is the most dominant 2 year run I have ever seen. It's amazing especially in this climate with all of the movement. Wow, what a coach and what a team!

This says it all.

Congratulations UConn nation! Thank you for a remarkable season!

We can have a Purdue post game thread. Edey was incredible.

There will be no Purdue Perimeter Game Thread.

And we can thank Castle, Newton, Spencer, Diarra and Karaban for killing any Purdue perimeter offense.

 

[UConnSwag11]

Painter is a mediocre coach. Didn’t adjust or anything. Just got Edey his stats

 

[IndyLives]

Definitely an argument could be made for best college team ever (despite the 3 losses).

 

[Dove]

Jay Wright just gave Dom Perno a call-out !!
