Post Game Thread - Thank You, Alex, Tarris, and Malachi

[temery]

If you plan on whining about the refs, don't. It's embarrassing. Wait a couple days.

I've never been more proud to be a Husky fan.

 

[phillionaire]

Dang so this is what losing a national title game feels like. Gotta say it sucks.

 

[Durks07]

This is a brutal feeling

 

[HuskyFich]

What absolute shame this good and close of a game was decided by FT disparity.

It really stood out in this game and felt not wrong, but just too much.

Thank you Alex and co. You are heroes.

 

[Ripper32]

Lost to a better team. Team left it all out there.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

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.

 

[Leebo]

Fought hard

 

[JakeTheDog]

So proud of this team. We had a chance.

Thanks boys.

Cadeau is good at selling those flops.

 

[upstater]

Alex played like a leader and a winner.

They all played hard.

A couple breaks and this thing is an upset victory.

 

[kansashusky]

No quit. Thanks to Alex for a great 4 years. Not sure what next year is going to look like, but always proud to be a husky

 

[StllH8L8ner]

Better team won. Nothing to hang your heads about. Thank you Alex and Co.

Congrats @RuffRuff

 

[Kemba15]

Michigan’s size really disrupted us but the game was still there for the taking. Damn. Great fight til the end nonetheless

Thank you Alex Karaban, we will miss you more than you know

 

[ec33]

They failed to properly implement the "make your shots" strategy. Disappointing but they gave us a great run.

 

[JwittersPAC]

Nothing to be ashamed of. UConn played their hearts out. Just played a better athletic team.

 

[TheShot1990]

Thank you Huskies!
You made us proud and went out strong.

Brilliantly coached game by Danny Hurley.

 

[WeAreUCONN]

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.

 

[WrenchFan69]

Generally just really sad

 

[Lefty2one]

Great season. This is what this team was. So many opportunities tonight but we didn't get it done.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Welp, never have had this experience or feeling of losing in final game.

Guess if you have to lose, this is the game you want to make it to.

Plenty of would've, could've should've opportunities.

On to next year.

 

[TrueBlue22]

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.

 

[Brochacho]

Two winning time plays we messed up: Ball missing the layup leading to a Michigan 3. Michigan guy misses both free throws and Karaban misses the 3. Oh well, good try Huskies. Great careers Karaban and Reed.

 

[maple]

Team played tough right til the end. Sucks because it really felt like we had a chance.

Thank you seniors. And go UConn.

 

[blkknight1]

That sequence where Tarris got the steal and solo missed that layup changed the game we score there it might be a different game.

 

[ec33]

Not sure how you can talk about this game without talking about the officiating. We outplayed them.

Didn't help but they missed enough easy shots to more than compensate.

 

[Greedo]

Kept it close, Michigan was the better team. I’m happy with how the season went, wasn’t expecting this team to make it this far. I’m proud of these guys. Mullins showed some big hustle throughout the game. You could tell he really wanted it.

Karaban is an amazing kid. Happy for him for his career. I’m sure he’ll look back and be proud too after the hurt of this game wears off.

 

[Revrat]

We couldnt get enough open looks and the few we got we missed

 

[uchusky32]

The boys showed the heart of a champion. The heart of UConn. Thanks you fellas for a hell of an effort tonight. You left it on the floor.

 

[Jaydumo20]

We fought hard and had a heck of a tourney. After all is said and done we will look back on this as a success.

 

[Bomber36]

I hate the amount of free throws they made. Ridiculous. Not a well called game, but we had to be better in the second half. Too many turnovers and missed 3s. Still, they never quit. This team had a boatload of guts. Congrats to Michigan and goodbye to two of my favorites.

 

[Mister P]

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.
