Post Game Thread - Thank You, Alex and Tarris!

[bigdog1002]

Sad to see Alex go out on a loss. Questionable calls aside, we missed so many open looks. The margin for error was too thin for that.

The real killer was the play when we were down 5 with the ball and momentum. And proceed to turn the ball over and Michigan scored. That was the opportunity

I have NEVER seen a team with more fight than this one. I will remember them.

 

[Travelman6]

I wanted AK to knock down that 3 so badly. If they had brought it to 1 there...who knows.

 

[nychuskyfan]

Great run. This team had a lot of heart and grit. We are very lucky fans.

 

[UConnTrumbull]

Michigan being a team of all transfers winning the title is a sign of what’s coming. Game is gone. Very proud of our boys though.

 

[uc1519]

Well that was disappointing

 

[FreeDogs]

Thank you men. You guys fought your tails off. Fought.

You made the pound proud. Regroup and come back for another run next year.

Alex and Tarris...you went out like the Dawgs you are.

Dang I thought you were gonna shock the world again at the end with a win but in reality, you did anyway because everyone counted you out before the game even started.

 

[Nameless]

We played them tough. Difficult to overcome that FT disparity.

Thank you Alex Karaban, for everything. Thank you Tarris for your incredible effort in this tournament. Thank you Malachi for the energy you brought tonight.

Last but not least, thanks to this team for never quitting. This game was a microcosm of the season.

 

[TheRogers]

We never gave up. They did Husky nation proud.

 

[Founday21]

Great game! I’m very proud of the Huskies tonight! The Great careers of Karaban, and Reed come to a close but amazing effort this year! #BleedBlue

 

[UCLJ0211]

Not too upset. Michigan was the better team. Great season from UConn, nothing to be ashamed of.

 

[aceboon]

Just too many missed open looks which was the theme in the close losses and close wins. Felt like they should been up at the half but again, left too many points on the board.

 

[Shamon30]

Being on the other side really sucks. But, it's a good problem to have. 300+ teams would have been happy to trade places with us.

 

[EricSD]

This team fought and clawed right to the end. Yeah, it was 5 vs. 8. But so proud of them and the battle they put up. Thank you Alex and Tarris, but also to the entire team. They gave everything they had.

 

[Hurlees4hed]

Gutted for Alex and Tarris.

That game was winnable despite tons of adversity. We have the best coach and culture in the country... we will be back.

 

[WrenchFan69]

Pretty crazy to come up second best in the Big East regular season, Big East tournament, and NCAA tournament. Team just never got enough breaks or made enough shots. Incredible guts from these guys

 

[lateralous]

Malachi really stepped up tonight. Unfortunately it was really only him and AK who had good games. Tough night for most of the rest.

Great run in the tournament though.

 

[ec33]

We had absolutely every opportunity to win this one. Michigan was a wagon, and man we gave them one heck of a battle.

What a season. Can’t wait for November already.

Silly season starts now.

 

[White Dwarf]

Great run by our guys in the tournament. Congrats to Michigan. Coach May putting on a transfer portal clinic.

 

[Durks07]

UConn is here to stay. Thank you Alex and Tarris. What a ride. Just sad it needed like that.

 

[Rdkid]

Never prouder to be a Husky

 

[jllevin79]

The Duke win makes this loss hurt a little less. This team showed heart and fought until the last minute. Better 3 point shooting in the second half and it could’ve gone our way. Gonna miss AK and Reed on this team next season.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Real bummer, really sucks to be on the other side of this.

Credit to Michigan’s defense, they are tough and big and athletic. Our starters shot 18-57 from the floor. It’s really a wonder it was this close.

Thank you to Tarris and AK. Everyone left it out there but they really fought their asses off down low against that daunting front line.

Still an amazing season, I love these boys.

 

[Tommyboy]

Proud of the boys. A little better shooting in the second half and it could have been a win.

 

[Ripper32]

Michigan dominated the paint on both sides as expected. We did get a lot of offensive rebounds unexpectedly.

 

[Lefty2one]

It's insane that we were right there when no one on the team had a good game. Grit, heart, mucked it up and had our chances.

30% from the floor. Plenty of kudos to Michigan's defense but we shot ourselves in the foot too.

 

[Dibbie]

Amazing run. Figured the only way we could win was to get hot from 3, but didn’t happen. Congrats to AK, gave this program everything he had.

I’m more sad where CBB is going where starting lineups are all transfers

 

[nycscooby]

Great season overall! Michigan D was tough all night, they are big Nd athletic. We played the style we wanted but just didn’t have the shooting in the second half to do it.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Great run by our guys in the tournament. Congrats to Michigan. Coach May putting on a transfer portal clinic.

I’m sure he’s already tampered with a great team to run it back next year.

 

[Matrim55]

Would sell my soul for Tarris & Alex to end up on the Celtics. I don't think I'd ever get tired of rooting for those guys.

Proud to be a Husky. Hell of a showing against a buzzsaw of a team.

EDIT: And shoutout Malachi, too. Saved his best work for the tourney.
