Incredible UConn basketball stats! Congrats to the UConn men!

[Blakeon18]

17-0 in the NCAA Championship game!

Women 11-0
Men 6-0.

Never say 'never' but then again...no college will ever match that.

Except... the women are 11-1.

Which is still pretty mind-boggling but it's not quite perfect.

Congratulations, UC men!

Fabulous two year run for the men - 12 straight double digit wins in the tournament! They are creating stats rivaling the Uconn women which in MCBB is unheard of.

 

[Blakeon18]

My very...VERY...bad. The giddiness of the men's game fogged
my brain. 17-1? Heck...I'll still say 'never ever' regarding some school matching that.

Congrats to the Huskies!

Awesome game. But, like Alabama before them, Purdue was playing their brains out with Edey making dunks and flexing, while UConn couldn’t hit a three and got blocked at the rim.

And yet….Purdue was down 6 at the half. Then Coach Hurley told his team to tighten up the defense and run. Edey lumbered up and down the court and got his points but UConn has too many weapons and a stifling defense held Purdue to one three pointer

Game over

I was up way too late last night, but it was worth it! Congratulations to the men.
They executed Hurley's game plan to perfection. I knew they were going to let Edey get his points. You can't stop him.
But they took away the 3 point shot from Purdue and that made all they difference.

I'm really happy for Cam Spencer. This was his last year of eligibility and winning an NC is a great way to go out.

Fantastic achievement for the men. It was also a fine season for the women but it sure would have been nice to see them at full strength. If that had been the case we might be celebrating UConn’s 3rd dual championship this morning

You laugh, but one of the men's team talking about what motivates them said "We are chasing the women's team 11 national championships."

This year's team ran one of the most complicated and elegant offenses ever seen in the modern era of men's college basketball. And they're aggressive defenders, to boot. The other teams didn't stand a chance once they hit tournament time.

Other teams - male and female - could have lots to learn from these guys. The rub, though, is that you really need the right people on your roster to learn it, and the right coaching to teach it.

It took Hurley 5 minutes to figure out Clingan couldn't handle Edey one on one and double teaming him was no better. After that they worked to keep Perdue from getting 3s and dared Edey to beat them by himself. UConn by 15.

Luke Murray is the architect of the UConn offense. He has been studying ad developing this since his college days.There is a lot of the European style of play in the men's offense. Very difficult to defend as we all have seen.

He and Kamani are the perfect pair. And neither is going anywhere.

I think the plan was always to have Clingan guard one on one and then have Sampson Johnson do the same until they both were in foul trouble. If you rely on the double to stop Edey, you still are probably not going to stop him and you're gonna leave their three-point shooters open. Think of it this way, Edey got nearly 20 baskets, and it wasn't enough

Isn't it interesting that in both Women's and Men's basketball, the NPOY was a generational, two-time winner and neither one of them brought home a championship?

 

[Plebe]

This UConn men's team was a masterpiece. The combination of finesse and execution of team-first offense and sheer grit on defense was just off the charts.

The way they've run roughshod over the NCAA Tournament two years in a row, with all wins by double digits, is eerily reminiscent of UConn WBB's best years.

Highest point differential in the tournament ever. A very balanced highly skilled team.

Seems like there are just too many "generationals" going around these days! Every year it's another "generational" player. It loses it meaning after a while.

Maybe that's not an accident?
