Alright, blame the edibles, but that title is still cracking me up an hour later.

Through 30 minutes -- i.e., before garbage time -- this is what we posted:

42-point lead
31-48 (64.6%) FG
12-19 (63.2%) 3FG
23 assists to 8 turnovers
32-20 rebounding advantage
11 combined steals & blocks
12 turnovers forced
14-47 (29.8%) FG allowed
12 personal fouls committed

Xavier's a decent team -- 34th in Kempom.

I've been watching UConn basketball for 40 years. This is as dominant a 30 minutes as I can remember us ever having. Ever.

Pretty good game by UConn today

 

[Hey Adrien!]

All I can say is TEN Huskies hit a three and Andrew Hurley's three helped UConn tie its all-time high of seventeen made threes in a game.

Also, I thought the Creighton first half was the best defensive half UConn has played all season, but that was obviously thwarted from today's first half effort. Pure. Domination.

Ladies and gentlemen, Dan Hurley and Huskies have cracked the code in MBB.

a million things you can say about this game (showing out for the '04 team, breakout games for our lottery picks, newton dominating) but how about apostolos??

so happy for that kid. would love to see him stick around and have a samson johnson-esque role next year.

17-29 from 3. Wow! Incredible effort today.

Faust is a pretty good play by play guy, who did he sell his soul to to get that job?

 

[FfldCntyFan]

Not that I'm complaining but for the life of me I don't understand why Miller tried to speed us up early in the game. They basically forced us to run them off the court.

 

[UConNick]

Basketball may not have a statistical perfect game like baseball, but I’ll be damned if that wasn’t about a perfect game. Incredible all the way around. Defense on Claude was stellar. And Clingan definitely looking more mobile and like himself. Even got great stuff from Roumoglou and Andrew. Gonna have a smile on my face the whole day.

 

[StllH8L8ner]

Couldn’t break 100. WTF. /s

We’re good. And happy to see Ben there.

 

[EricLA]

That's as big a smackdown as I've ever seen against a team not in a crap conference outside the top 200...

I'd give the team a B- today. LOL..

Seriously, what an enjoyable game to watch. Defense was great, offense was great, 3 point shooting - wow. Even Clingan got one!

 

[superjohn]

One of the best games we've ever played. If healthy these guys have a chance to be our best team ever.

NBA scouts at the game drooling over Clingan, Castle too.

Right? Looked comfortable and confident on the ball, dangerous defensively and lively athletically.

Wouldn't be shocked if he started getting a few rotation minutes at this point.

Said it in the game thread. This game was a message to the rest of the Big East to bend the knee.

He can play, no idea if he'll stick around but we could do far worse than him as our 9th or 10th rotation guy next year

 

[HuskyBoi]

That was as good as it gets

The Greek would be getting real minutes for a lot of high major programs, he's a player.

 

[RichCTBB]

I haven’t watched Purdue all year. Are they really on the same level as us when we’re healthy?

Looks like a kid that could really help us next year if he plays defense. Handle, shooting and athleticism all on display. Just a great way to start championship Sunday. Now on to the NFL.
