NCAA FINAL FOUR: Championship Game Thread

[RUChoppin]

So the refs do know that some screens can be illegal...

 

[Knight Shift]

Is this WCW wrestling or basketball?

 

[fatsam98]

This is seriously a joy to watch. The intensity and execution is amazing

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

Clingan screens are way illegal. What is going on?

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

Maybe edey shouldnt go 40

 

[Plum Street]

Maybe edey shouldnt go 40

Tv timeout came at a good time

 

[fluoxetine]

The game's at 9:20? Sigh

Seriously, wtf. There's no other competition tonight, they can pick whatever time slot they want... And they didn't pick 8 or 8:30?

I guess there's no interest in getting younger East Coast kids interested in their product.

Every year, crazy late

Ridiculous time slot

Every year, and the whole tournament is like this with games tipping off at like 10:30 and shit. Very annoying. But, i will stay up to watch.

Cam played a very nice all around game last night. Maybe he can stick on an NBA roster. A tribute to Hurley's ability to build a cohesive group. Will be interesting to see what happens if Cliff winds up there.

I think Clingan is much better than Edey and believe the NBA scouts feel the same way. His stock is on the rise. I don't think the game Purdue played last night will be good enough to beat UConn. They will need to control the pace or UConn will run Edey off the floor. He certainly won't play 40 minutes. Should be interesting.

Not tonight, Clingan looks totally intimidated by Edey. He can't stop him and he is not much of UCONN offense tonight.

 

[Knight Shift]

WTF is Hurley crying about on that tip in? Baby.

 

[RUChoppin]

WTF is Hurley crying about on that tip in? Baby.

He came out to jaw at Edey, too. Would love to see him T'd up tonight

 

[bac2therac]

Danger time for Purdue..dont want to fall too far behind

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

Have to think hurley’s act doesnt work on most officiating crews

 

[Plum Street]

I have had enough of Hurley

 

[bethlehemfan]

UConn’s talent is way better other than edey.

 

[ScarletDave]

Purdue cant stop the Huskies on D. UConn too many options. All it’s gonna take is 1 or 2 tiny scoring droughts like this by Purdue and it’s over. That’s how Uconn wins by 15.

 

[PiscatawayMike]

Steratore pretty much laughed at him...lol

 

[fluoxetine]

The game is all about offense

Always has been. Have said it for years but people would call me an idiot for simply saying we need to focus more on running a modern offense

Yes, you’re both idiots. These are the #4 and #12 defenses which I’m sure is just a coincidence. But you repeat this nonsense a few hundred more times maybe it will become true.

 

[RUinOhio]

Hurley is a punk . F him . Constantly whining

 

[Knight Shift]

He came out to jaw at Edey, too. Would love to see him T'd up tonight

And that was not a flop. UConn player popped him in the face.

 

[bac2therac]

Huge shot by Smith there

 

[Virginiarufan]

He came out to jaw at Edey, too. Would love to see him T'd up tonight

I caught that too. Totally childish behavior trying to get in the faces of the opposing team's kids. What a little bitch.

 

[RUChoppin]

UConn doesn't foul that much on defense, but they foul a ton on offense.

 

[PiscatawayMike]

This game is good...

 

[fatsam98]

He represents that trash fanbase pretty well

 

[Roy_Faulker]

Painter to classy to tell him off

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

Edey looking gassed he's not able to block or alter the shots at the rim as Uconned's guards are starting to get downhill and run by Perdie's guards.

 

[newell138]

Gene Cady actually looks like the Purdue mascot

 

[bac2therac]

UConn is going to be tough to beat. Purdue needs to be alnost perfect in the 2nd half

 

[bethlehemfan]

UConn is going to be tough to beat. Purdue needs to be alnost perfect in the 2nd half

They have better players other than edey. By far.

 

[RUinOhio]

Smith has been terrible. Seems like Gillis only does well against Rutgers lol. They need someone else besides Edey to do something

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

Uconn ability to olay edey straight up
Is the entire game.

Clingan olayed 18 1st half minutes. He isnt used to playing that much.

Will he tire

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

Will keady out live Jimmy Carter?

Thinking no

 

[Mr Magoo]

Definitely see UConn pulling away in the 2nd half as expected. Hope I’m wrong.

 

[shields]

Need Jones to have good second half.

 

[fluoxetine]

Halftime score 36-30

[Roy_Faulker]

It’s apparent Hurley intends to tire Edey by pushing the pace. Thankfully for Purdue it only takes him 7 steps to get down court.

Oh and F Cam Spencer.

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

Derek simpson hopefully was listening to kenny smith

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

1st 8 possessions. 4 each side….is so important

 

[Plum Street]

Derek simpson hopefully was listening to kenny smith

Why ?

 

[PiscatawayMike]

Purdue needs to hit at least five 3-pointers in the second half to come out on top.
