Alex has a much better tournament record than Hurley.

Pulls into a tie with the unemployed Hurley.

Only Laettner has more.

Another winner:

I want to launch the whole state of Connecticut into deep space. I hate this school so much. They clearly made a deal with the devil. Ugh. I still can’t believe Duke lost that game last weekend.

That stat where Danny has the second best NCAA Tourney winning % with at least 20 games.

Second only to Wooden.

A team that looked absolutely dead in the water is playing for a championship. Just unreal.

 

[superjohn]

Refs sucked the life out of that one but it was still amazing. Braylon with the biggest shot again. We're a team with momentum and you know what we do when we get here.

Is there any better way to spend a Final Four Saturday night than watching two teams battle it out for the privilege of facing you instead of sitting around overanalyzing who might be available in the portal like 350+ other fan bases are doing.

Color me National Flag Blue happy tonight

 

[Matrim55]

God this makes me happy. Shabazz is my favorite-ever Husky, and for him to be part of it like this after he missed the past couple (he was still playing in Europe) feels so good.

I love our program, man. We're so lucky.

Hurley just rubbing it in at this point:

Sweet returns!!

Wagler might be why they lost. Jackin 3s (2-10)

IMO a lot of that is on Underwood. We were just denying their guys and blowing up actions left and right, and defending Wagler hard on drives. Underwood seemed to make no strategic adjustments and Wagler just kept shooting. They couldn’t even get the ball to their other shooters with any chance at an open look for long stretches.

Another good one from tonight - this one alone is a UConn Mt Rushmore - Kemba, Rip, Emeka & Ray.

EDIT: sorry, this is from 2023

2023 or 2026 who cares? Stlll kicks .

But how many times does this have to happen before we have to recognize that BE games are called differently and that the team isn't coached to win the BE but to win the NC.

The college basketball world may be sick of UConn, and that’s just fine with me. Buckle in, we’re just getting warmed up.

 

[Umami Zen]

Wagler got his points but our team D and help D sure made him work for them. Contained him well and didn't let him get comfortable and take over the game. One of the keys to the W

What type of foul was this on Silas? A Neck-to-the-hand?

You guys know more about basketball than I do, but I used to think the guy grabbing the neck was the fouler.

The whistle was blown on Silas before that action. He didn’t have to be called for a foul before he got fouled, but it wasn’t “not a foul” on Silas.

Jaylin Stewart

He better not get mono in the next two days.

Demary and Ross really played him well which cut down on all their swing passing.
