Miami Post Game Thread

[gtcam]

The Huskies are outstanding. But do they understand that San Diego State is an excellent basketball team?

There are aspects of SDSU game that UConn will exploit and they are not even close to being the offensive team that Miami is. People don’t understand that when AS goes out they have to contend with DC and the score most always increases for UConn in that situation. Plus Hawk will be stronger and I am calling fora 20+ game from the Hawk

The Mountain West has a team in the Title game.

And the ACC doesn’t …I love it.

Best news: no chance Andersen can work the game on Monday

Has there been a more dominant tournament run?

Unreal. Anyone remember when Dan Hurley “lost the locker room” this summer when some transferred out. Not gonna lie, it was a little spooky there for a while… well, trust the process.. what the heck do we know, because this has been masterful!

 

[temery]

What part of that is unclear?

Yep. Posted the same thing three time. Three's a charm, I guess.

Is the U back?

No.

I thought Newton was very good tonight against a defender who was allowed to basically rag him with impunity. He’s as underrated a player as we’ve had in a while.

I paced at least 10 miles in my living room.

I’m so happy.

Same here @GoUconn7961 And already pacing around worried about Monday.

I thought the managers trying to find sneakers for pack to wear was entertaining

I was baffled. Why didn't he just go to the locker room. And don't these kids own like 300 pairs of sneakers?

 

[HuskyBaggins]

Lol Mid-season still happened, but the corrections that have been made are incredible. 40 more minutes. Great job so far. Finish it

Barkley in the post-game - "I want to know what 8 teams beat them". LOLOLOL

We’re Connecticut people after a Final Four win, isn’t everyone drinking?

Really balanced minutes. Only Karaban and Newton over 26. That's big with the short turnaround.

Has there been a more dominant tournament run?

I think nova averaged over 20 winning margin on one of theirs, which is surprising.

 

[HuskyBaggins]

We committed 11 fouls. That has to be a season low.

The crazy thing is that our defense's reputation precedes us. There were numerous times that Miami players made a move, and momentarily got by their man, but the help defense in the paint was relentless, and they just retreated. Half the time they seemed to make a bad pass and turn the ball over

'That kid is going to get NIL money to not say what kind of sneakers he wears.

I was baffled. Why didn't he just go to the locker room. And don't these kids own like 300 pairs of sneakers?

I mentioned to my wife: "Why wouldn't each team just have a bag of extra sneakers for each player? Like, you know a bag of soccer balls or something?"

 

[HuskyBaggins]

Hurley is beyond redeemed. We all need to repent for doubting at 14-2. This team is exactly what we thought before then. Total domination in this tournament.

Bah. The doubt didn't really show up until 14-4 after the SJU loss. But the team and Hurley have flipped TWO scripts - the midseason swoon AND the two first round exits. You cannot rebound from those two things any better than this.

 

[HuskyBaggins]

LET’S GOOOOOOO!!!

THIS is the way

 

[SwingDog]

I would just like to say this Miami team showed nothing but class and great attitudes. After watching the press conference with Coach Larranega, Isaiah Wong, and Jordan Miller, it's tough not to like them. We beat an excellent team tonight, and they lost to a more excellent team. They played with toughness, made a few runs, but we just had too much.

 

[OkaForPrez]

I love this team, then now and always.
