Providence Post Game Thread

[Bomber36]

Seeing a grown man pee cee fan holding a 20oz Truly hard seltzer chirping at Hurley after the game perfectly sums up pee cee fan base.

Jim Jackson dominoes nick 'em to death comment in the first half was great.

Samson's first stint in first half was gawd awful. Helluva in-game adjustment by Samson.

I still say not even sending the staff or scholarship players and having Mamadou coach a team of walk-ons was the right way to play tonight. Getting down 15-2 and then clubbing PC like baby seals is a real close second of how I wanted this game to play out.
Loved Danny getting Andrew in the game at the end.

Well said.

That was the exclamation point on dominating the regular season both in and out of the conference. Onto the postseason where we just need to continue focusing on what we’ve been doing, relying on each other and take advantage of the postseason experience that many of the main players have.

It's good to see Providence has all that NIT experience. I think I think they can make a heckuva run in this year's NIT.

A response from UConn to the Providence 'Thank You' meme.

Blanking on what this is in response to. Can anyone remind me?

Cuse might have something to say about that

Providence fans just respond to every tweet they like (or hate, or just most tweets) with "Thank you" en masse.

So Providence... You're Welcome.

We're awesome.

I've always rooted for Providence and stuck up for them but I'm getting pretty sick of their act. We could've beaten them by 30 and called the dogs off and they were chippy as hell on the court and their fans we're giving us the business in a blow out. Second rate team.

Hurley got a T.
Clingan hit a 3.
UConn won by double digits.

Works for me.

Great game. Great season. #1 in the BE, 28-3 on the year and 18-2 in the BE. The best regular season in BE history.

Let’s go win some trophies. Let’s go Huskies!

Calhoun had 4 2 loss seasons, but the conference season was shorter.

Samson takes a beating in these post game threads, he deserves alot of props tonight, he played very well on both ends.

There was a stretch of the game a minute long where he had 2 rebounds, 4 points, 1 block, very solid gameplay if he can do minutes like that more often!

This game reminded me of Hagler-Hearns. Providence (Hearns) came out throwing haymakers and landing. But, then UConn (Hagler) got their footing and eventually started to dominate. The look on PC players/coaches/fans faces after UConn went on their run at the end of the 1st-half said it all. Just as Hearns knew it was over by Round 3, PC knew it was over by the half!!

Where’s FriarJ?

Securing his NIT tickets.

Why didn’t the balding accountant for pc get any run tonight

 

[elmcityboy]

now that was fun!

 

[aceboon]

Clingan's ability to defend without fouling since the first Prov game is night and day, he had Oduro spooked for a pretty good stretch and he didn't start scoring again until the game was well out of hand in the 2nd half

Me too. My sister married into a big time PC family. They all graduated from there. I always supported them when it didn't involve us. No more. They can’t lose enough for my taste. My sister went to UConn as well, by the way. I should have known this wouldn’t work out in the end!

 

[BugsyCT]

Shhhhhh!

Dan Hurley is a class act. His moment with Carter after the game was great.

Hurley to Carter: "we could put together a bag for you"

Second rate team, second rate fans.

It's their "culture".

It’s tax season. His internship with HR Block was in session.

 

[Kitaman]

I have never seen a UConn team so March ready. Every player is confident, believing in each other and so damn unselfish.

The regular season is over and they rank at the top (i.e. regular season speaking) of all UConn teams to me. This includes our 5 Championship teams.

UConn is on top!

 

[Chin Diesel]

Shhhhhh!

He's Truly pc's most vocal fan.

That’s what I figured, long day crunching numbers

 

[JRDBWK]

Does anyone know what the technical on Providence was? They come back from the commercial and Spencer's at the line but they never explained it? Unless I missed something?

Loved the baby seals comment. Spot on.
