Post Game Thread - Thank You, Alex and Tarris!

[gsmooth]

I am so proud of this UConn team. They went out on their shield. Thank you Tarris, Alex, Malachi, and Alec for your contributions. Best of luck in your futures.
You guys are true UConn Huskies and will always be part of the UConn family and welcomed back to Connecticut.

Man… that sucked!! They did everything everything they needed to do to win. They had them on the brink and just couldn’t capitalize.

Demary barely played due to some very questionable calls.

 

[campcalhoun2009]

It didn’t feel like an even game. I don’t ever blame the officiating for losses but this seemed lopsided. It was a wonderful season regardless of this loss. Thank you Huskies for the ride.

It was absolutely lopsided. Cadeau was absolutely disgusting to watch out there.

 

[MexicoHusky]

Better team won. Great season Huskies

 

[Shine21]

Great season. Hat off to AK and Tarris. Wishing you guys nothing but the best at the next level.

 

[ec33]

Thought that AK three was a sure thing in that moment. So clutch, we are going to miss him more than we appreciate (and we appreciate him a lot).

 

[brihman]

Still have more titles than Duke

 

[BugsyCT]

I'd rather lose a NC game than not be in one. This team gave it their all but just didn't have enough tonight. Congrats to Michigan and proud to be a UConn fan. They gave us a memorable run.

We'll be back!

 

[Irvine]

So proud of the team. I'd be more angry about the officiating if we made more shots - missed too many good looks to be champions.

....and congrats to Michigan.

 

[nomar]

Man, we had our chances.

Proud of these guys. And I loved that for a hot second there at the end, I thought maybe we could pull off the greatest comeback in the history of college basketball.

 

[Mets1432]

I will hold my tongue on the officiating for another day.

This team and coaching staff gave us another wonderful season with a shot at another title. Nothing but love for those young men and Dan Hurley, the Carpenter. Thank you Alex Karaban. You are an all time Husky.

We played our hearts out and fought to the bitter end.

 

[ScottVib]

Great season... Michigan was the better team today. Disappointing, but still had a chance despite not playing their best game of the season, against a team, who was generally the best team in the nation all year.

 

[visitor123]

Excellent season. Just didn't have the game we needed to have to win the title. We were so close. Great effort.

 

[controlfade]

Couldn’t be happier for the season they had.

Tarris and AK good luck in your futures!!

 

[Ripper32]

Reed was bothered by Mara's length. We were outscored 36-22 inside. With all that said and the size mismatches, our defense was excellent. Wolverines only shot 38% from field.

 

[1999GoodSon]

Will never forget this team. Proud of every one of them.

 

[tuvent08]

Really proud of this team. At the end of the day Michigan are just bigger and more athletic than us, but we never stopped fighting.

 

[Excalibur]

Didn’t have any expectations going in. UM was better. We had a decent game plan, executed defensively, but didn’t make shots and got a couple of bad breaks that kept our first unit off the floor for too long.

 

[nomar]

I thought the matchup between Demary and Cadeau would be a huge + in our favor and would be the key to victory for UConn. But Cadeau took Demary to school.

Keep your heads up UConn, you had a great year.

A national championship and an Oscar all in one game -- what a night for Cadeau!

 

[That Guy]

Incredible effort and heart, but the reality is that the boys have shot the ball poorly since even before the tournament and the shooting woes continued throughout the tournament. Tonight they simply faced a team that was too talented for them to overcome the shooting struggles.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Our 1v1 offensive weaknesses really showed tonight. I hate to look forward to next season because I am going to deathly miss these guys, but we absolutely need a guard who can get in the lane consistently. That isn’t Solo’s game and Silas didn’t show it a ton either. We need a big athletic guard.

 

[How Sway?!]

Man… that sucked!! They did everything everything they needed to do to win. They had them on the brink and just couldn’t capitalize.

I say it was the opposite, we just couldn't make the winning play. We put ourselves in great positions but couldn't capitalize.

 

[HCCForever]

Disappointing end to a great season. Many changes next season with the departures of Alex, Tarris, Malachi and Luke. It was a fun ride.

 

[gsmooth]

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.

Bingo. The inconsistent shooting came back to bite them. Congratulations Michigan. Great run by UConn this year. This season was a big success for UConn.

 

[bigdog1002]

Have to get bigger and stronger. Guards were getting bullied both games and no quality size outside of Reed. Riebe is tall but not particularly strong

 

[Dove]

Obviously no one wanted to be THAT FAN to say it, but were we winning every Championship Game we played in?

Alex and Mullins 6 of 20 from 3! Are those nba players in your mind?

Or dont miss 30 3pointers

Great season. Thank you.
