UCONN vs Purdue Championship Thread

[3TrueFans]

Lol wtf is Hurley complaining about? He stepped on the court and pushed his player

He asked Spencer at the time out "Did I touch you?" did he black out or something?

You can put your hands on a player?

 

[fcclone]

How is that not a T? He'd been warned once, and then to go on the court and push a player?

I want to see Hurley go on the court and push a Purdue player. Make this last two minutes exciting.

Agree that 3 seconds should be easy to call. Especially on the focal point of a team's offense.

the game has changed over the years, if the widen the lane, then just make 5, but enforce it.

Great game and I love watching UConn play.

BUT, the NCAA has to do something about coaches. Coaches out of the box is an issue. But coaches on the floor while the clock is running is a bigger issue. We just saw Hurley push Spencer while he was dribbling the ball! That should be a T.

On Saturday, the NCST coach was standing on the sideline within a few feet of the Purdue player who was inbounding the ball and Keatts was waving his arms.

Cant say I have ever seen a coach touch a player on a live ball before.

Coach Woody Hayes, that was on the side line. My bad.

Hurley is actually insane lol. That was hilarious and he’s lucky he didn’t get a T.

A coach doing that should be a automatic T.

Do it twice - ejection.

Could Uconn bring this entire team back? Anyone out of eligibility?

They'll have to reset again. Most of their guys are either graduating or going pro.

I think Spencer and Newton are out of eligibility

Braden Smith looks like he works at AutoZone.

 

[HFCS]

Agreed. But he can’t control that. If he whined and complained about it that would be entirely different since he’s already given the benefit on that end many times. But he’s a good dude from all accounts.

I’m excited to watch him in nba but people need to expect him as a situational player. A lot of teams will shred him on defense with the current speed of the game and playmaking bigs.

Yao is probably the comp but the game has changed a ton since then, Shaq’s foot speed was way quicker. There really haven’t been many guys that tall also built like a tank. Mark Eaton way back.

Coach Woody Hayes

The punch that killed ISU football for years,,,the bastard

 

[jctisu]

This UConn team is one of the best we’ve seen. Nobody even close again.

 

[ISU_Guy]

I think UConn will lose 2-3 key guys but man they are going to be good again. I wish their big guy would go pro then they would come back to the pack minus any recruiting

 

[fsanford]

Dan Hurley clearly married above his weight class

 

[Cyhig]

Big 10 National Title drought continues

 

[CycloneErik]

So , how many of these UConn guys are freshmen and sophomores again?

Really impressive back to back. Lots of roster turnover and still dominant. Both tourney runs were never really threatened

 

[fsanford]

So will Kentucky throw 10 million at Hurley?
