Anybody know how I can glue another finger on Danny in my avatar?

 

[Bomber36]

T Newt is the MOP. It could have been 3 other guys. That’s how good we are!

 

[djct1999]

It never gets old.

Tristen Newton now has back to back championships and back to back Final Four MOP awards. Put him on the wall the second he steps back onto campus

2004, 2014, 2024.

Can I place a bet on us winning in 2034?

If Eastern Carolina pulled a Rutgers and claimed his MOPs I wouldn't be that mad. Thanks for developing him for us.

7 and 6 titles, we really don't know how good we have it. Imagine being a Michigan State fan and showing up that many times to get smacked, couldn't be us.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Everyone came to play today. Clingan and Samson did absolutely everything we needed of them. Even Karaban gave some great minutes at the 5. Coaching staff pulled all the right levers. All the guards showed how much bigger and more athletic they were than Purdue. What a freaking game…

JUST TO CONFIRM IT. WE ARE THE BEST TEAM THIS SEASON.

Like Danny just said, we own the last 30 years

 

[Dave]

Mojo strong, battle won, legacy cemented. God I love this team.

 

[TheRealKBuks]

Best UConn team ever

 

[firstnline]

Can't wait to go up to UConn tomorrow, welcome the team back, and load up on merch.

Can someone explain the Hurley reference to Jersey City? Thanks.

 

[HuskyFich]

being able to enjoy this with my newborn son is a dream literally come true.

Congrats to the whole team, and cheers to my new profile pic!

UCONN!!!!!!!!!!

He is from Jersey City and is proud of his home.

Bama was Better than Purdue I tried to tell you

I really hope we all took a lot of time to reflect and appreciate this team as the season was happening. This was truly one of the most dominant teams I’ve ever seen play. 37-3 and NCAA champions. This is NOT normal.

Tristen Newton. The cool and calming presence. 20 points, 7 assists, 5 rebounds

Cam Spencer. He WANTED this. 8 rebounds, most in the game except for Edey.

Steph Castle. 90 foot defense all night. No fear from the freshman. 15 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists

Alex Karaban. Shot wasn’t falling so he crashed the boards for 3 offensive rebounds and played great defense all night.

Donovan Clingan. Matched up against the 2 time NPOY and made him WORK. I’ve never seen Edey that tired. He got his, but DC made him work for it, which opened up the game for us.

Hassan Diarra. 13 minutes but scored 9 points and had the same, lockdown defense as Castle.

Samson Johnson. Fouled out but didn’t back down. It takes guts to rise up for a dunk knowing Zach Edey is near by, and he had 2 electric ones.

Dan Hurley. There were 16 coaches in the history of the game with multiple titles. Now there’s 17. Dan Hurley has tied guys like Bill Self, Rick Pitino, Jay Wright, and Billy Donovan. Legendary company for a legendary coach.

Lets. Go. Huskies.

Team Team Team.
Great group of unselfish players.

Portnoy won his 2.1 million. Good for him I guess????????

Great call.

 

[Tenspro2002]

We suffocated everybody else and challenged Edey to be enough -- and he wasn't, even though he scored ton.

Sanogo won last year but yea agree with the sentiment

 

[sdglast]

Hurley's quote in the post-game interview was telling. He said UConn gives him everything he needs to win. I think the message was clear....I am not going anywhere. This is the most dominant 2 year run I have ever seen. It's amazing especially in this climate with all of the movement. Wow, what a coach and what a team!
