From pay to play / product endorsements / dropping out of scholarships prior to graduation to go play for even more money / disreguarding rules of play ( walking/ palming the ball/ goal tending /etc.. sorry if I offended anyone but so be it.... drill sgt.

Hardly a one man team, my guy. 2nd best 3pt shooting team in the nation. 12th in team defense. That takes more than 1 guy.

However, our guards were exposed tonight. Undersized and under equipped to deal with the pressure defense from Uconn.





Hedley Lamarr: Wait, wait, wait. I'm unarmed.
Bart: Alright, we'll settle this like men, with our fists.
Hedley Lamarr: Sorry, I just remembered . . . I am armed.

Shaql is correct. To add to the effectiveness of UConn's excellent Pressure defense:
  • the rest of the team usually scores 58 points and Edey averages 25. Last night was 23 points rest of team and 37 for Edey.
  • the ball is passed more often from Edey back out to the shooters. UConn took away that aspect of Purdue's offense.
  • we shot 14.3% from 3-pt range vs our normal 40.8%.
  • we usually take 17 3-pt attempts and last night only took 7 3-pt attempts

    As much as I can’t stand Hurley (any of them), it was a great game plan. Give the big guy whatever he wants and completely shut down everyone else. It worked well.

    GREAT first half, lopsided second but still entertaining. Congrats to UConn.

    One thing they should learn is that 9:20 EST on a Monday is an absolutely stupid time for a championship game.

    Would not be surprised if that was 100% intentional to bolster the lady’s numbers since it has been such a hot topic this season.

    Funny Caitlin Clark appearance on SNL. For those that don't know, Michael Che and Colin Jost have an on-going series where they write jokes for each other and the other doesn't see until they're on the teleprompter on live TV. Caitlin supposedly wrote the jokes this week for Michael Che to read.
