UConn (-6) vs Purdue

[HuskyBoi]

Starting spread.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

We need to keep the 13-point streak going!

 

[SLY63]

Key against Purdue is no foul trouble for DC, give Edey 20 but no open 3s for the others

Starting spread.

Mad dog called that line Thursday. Impressive. That was about it.

 

[shizzle787]

Doomed!

 

[Tenspro2002]

I have no opinion on the spread whatsoever, but the moneyline is -270/+220, which implies a 70% or so chance to win. That seems a bit high.

UConn 5-0 in championship games.

Man I had UConn points and under 160.5. That last potential flagrant was crazy. I think I’ll go UConn points and under also for this game. I feel like edey will score a bunch but castle will shut down smith and Purdue will barely score 60

Doomed

It’s huge. No foul trouble? The game leans HEAVY on our side. Foul trouble? Could be a toss up

 

[huskyfever34]

I really really like us -6. I know, doomed, but still.

 

[DemonDeac22]

Edey will need to work hard to get his 20 and 10 but he will get it. The key will be defending the 3 like we did in the 2nd half tonight and running OUR offense. Purdue cannot match our defensive intensity and depth.

 

[IndyLives]

Once again, the smart play is UConn (minus the points). I can basically retire after rolling with this strategy all year.

 

[Huskiefan23]

Purdue is pretty undersized (except Edey obviously). Smith is only 6’0 and he had 5 TO’s tonight.

To me, this is where my head is at. Clinigan needs to play good D, stay in the game, and make ZE work for his 20/10. Anything we get him from him offensively is a bonus imo. Purdue needs 45 points from everyone else, at a minimum.

Who are they putting on Castle? Newtown? Karaban?

 

[UCTitleTown]

I have a feeling Stephon Castle is going to take over. Purdue doesn't have an answer for him. Win the title and on the the NBA and cement his UConn legacy. Expect a better game from Newton. Diarra could also be big drawing Edey away from the hoop and driving past him. Two very motivated teams, but I think we have too many answers.

Purdue team total is 70.5

 

[uconnblueinky]

What will be the split on crowd support ? Purdue seems to have a ton of fans at these games so far.

Kenpom was very close to that line.

 

[HuskyBoi]

I have a feeling ANDREW HURLEY is going to take over. Purdue doesn't have an answer for him. Win the title and on the the NBA and cement his UConn legacy. Expect a better game from Newton. Diarra could also be big drawing Edey away from the hoop and driving past him. Two very motivated teams, but I think we have too many answers.

Fixed it for you bro.

Fixed it for you bro.

Nobody has an answer for Andrew Hurley with 10 seconds left. He controls the game like a master.

 

[uconngb]

We win by 15

Book it

Hammer it?

The man even riled up Mark Sears. His ball handing ability and aptness in sifting through defenses separates him from the rest.

We need to keep the 13-point streak going!

I might be able to live with a lesser double-digit win. After a day or two.

Surprise surprise Parrish picked Purdue! Only person on MM broadcast that did

He's been saying he was going to stick with them as long as they were around for weeks. So, yeah, I don't know why anyone would be surprised.

6 point favorites looking for a 6th National championship. Works for me

It’s at the point now where I’m just losing my
Mind in close games. We’re being spoiled. Like being up ~5 is stressful and doesn’t feel right
