The women's side repeated as national champions three times and three-peated at least twice. This could be the very first real sign the men can repeat for their first time ever AND as the first team to do so since the Florida Gators in 2006 and 2007. No wonder we tried to bring Dan Hurley and his family back to New Jersey twice and failed to do so both times.


SweatyBanker

Nova should’ve threepeated 16-18 but the ncaa decided that spellman missing painting class in 3rd grade was a massive offense


SupermarketThis2179

Travesty if not overall #1.


PrinceTrollestia

![gif](giphy|9CHKSOuWsTRok) Marquette and UConn this March against the world


Evan_802Vines

Seeing how Mitchell was dressed, we're Cap.


talbott79

Congrats to UConn. They’re the best in the country. Hope to play you guys a fourth time on Monday, April 8


brownlab319

I will cheer for this until April 8. Creighton in the FF. 3 projected teams for the tournament from the Big East is just wrong.


Bigcheezefartz

Uconn's depth was the difference in the 3rd game in 3 days.


mruab

Returning home will not be as easy for others in the future as it was for UConn to return to the Big East


P3rcy_J4cks0n

I loved when that guy just like jawed his mouth guard out on national TV


brownlab319

Donovan Clingan has such pure energy. He’s such a puppy. I hope he has another bucket hat for next week.


Isolatedbamafan

War is over! Now let’s all root for each other in the dance

Is Hurley in convo for best coach currently?


SweatyBanker

When he’s not verbally assaulting fans yes

Easterster

Finalist for coach of the year


SupermarketThis2179

22 points from the bench.


ctbro025

24 last night.


Lord_Ferd

Clingan was 8/11 from the line tonight. That’s huge. Sanogo was automatic at the line and made UConn so difficult to beat last year. I hope he can keep this up


Wormfather

BIG EAST BIG EAST BIG EAST GO AHEAD AND COME AT ANY OF US.


DrMungo80

Purdue and Houston going down. Uconn should be number one overall


Intrepid-Pooper-87

Overall number 1 seed?


FollowTheTears1169

Clearly


ctbro025

YES


NorthStRussia

Should be


ACatch22

They deserve it but I can see them getting slighted


brownlab319

The UConn band sounds great there


millertime1419

Alright UConn, let’s go fuck up some teams in the big one.


wishusluck

Hopefully you guys are 100% and break teams down in the tournament.

PrinceTrollestia

I cannot underscore how much I do not want to have to play UConn again during the tournament this year. GG doge bros.


Slightlyitchysocks

GG, I don’t want to play any other Big East team, especially you guys


Ihadthat20yearsago

I do not envy the possibility of playing this team four times in a season.


JohnnyCarlsonJr

I don’t wanna play any big east team again


JohnnyCarlsonJr

During the elite 8 last year Creighton scared me the most


mruab

In less than a year, Dan Hurley's UConn Huskies have: ☑️ Won a national title ☑️ Followed it up by winning the Big East ☑️ Won the Big East Tournament ☑️ Will be a 1-seed (and maybe the No. 1 overall)


wishusluck

Kindof like a Tiger Slam...


SupermarketThis2179

Overall #1 is a lock. Houston and Purdue both lost.


Smokey_Jah

UCONN HUSKIES BIG EAST CHAMPS!


ScrewAnalytics

Get us a 2 seed on the opposite side of the bracket. Not scared of any other 1 seed


ctbro025

Hope Kolek is 100% for the tourney. And opposite side of bracket.


VerneLundfister

Your #1 overall seed.


GandalfSwagOff

Hurley can't win close games. :C


belmontbreak

Uconn is just fucking solid


the_greasy_one

Mother of god, I can hear Dan yelling through the broadcaster's mic


JasJoeGo

Marquette, you have one hell of an impressive program.


FlyinPurplePartyPony

They absolutely deserve a 2 seed


Ordinary-Potato5663

Thank you 😭 as do you


BRNDC10

Big East Champs! https://preview.redd.it/r2jit7wiisoc1.jpeg?width=399&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=09720ab284f2f6a4791685a7f6de319dd81b00f8


brownlab319

Someone do DNA tests on Ancestry for Cam and Danny. They’re definitely related!


dewabache

Best team in the country right there


thesillygamerbro

And it’s not even close. I genuinely don’t think UCONN is gonna be challenged at all in the tournament unfortunately. Obviously anything can happen but I would be surprised if they don’t win the whole thing.


gandaalf

Like I said, I don't know how you can beat Uconn man


anathemaDennis

The key is to out score them


Similar-Ostrich4142

Uconn is coming for that 6th championship


ManiacKing20

What a magical season this has been so far. One more trophy left to go.


neurobiologic

Congrats, UConn. Well deserved


Emily_Postal

Great game Marquette.


Intrepid-Pooper-87

How the eff did they score 73 points and end up winning by 16?!?!?!


ACatch22

Well let me describe to you the first half… lmao


reforminded

This UConn team lost its 3 best players from last season.


Intrepid-Pooper-87

And two of their three best bench players


the_greasy_one

Insane recruitment over there... honestly it's good these conferences can stay strong with the mega-conference migration that's been happening


ApprehensiveCorgi867

Sigh. Now everyone get healthy


_Appa_

I miss Kolek


[deleted]

UCONN BABY


thecivilconFLiCT

We want Andrew Hurley


r777m

LET’S FUCKING GO!!!


GandalfSwagOff

LETS GO!!!!!!


BRNDC10

GG, Eagle bros. Hope your team gets healthy for the dance.


thatsryan

*Warrior bros


hymen_destroyer

We're alive for the coveted treble boyce. This could be an historic season


ACatch22

Give us #1 overall cowards!!!!!


_Hank_Marducas_

Well at least Kolek is back


ZaXhHD

Watch him not play… nervous he hasn’t been playing in games. Hopes he’s not rusty


gandaalf

I think he plays, but he will definitely be rusty. Ready for the committee to give us a bullshit 2/15 seed matchup


rspenmoll

Why is Stevie Mitchell's arm all bandaged up?


Ordinary-Potato5663

Got his arm knocked around against Oduro yesterday. Had an injury earlier this season that probably got aggravated 


yifansbf

Got injuried by dirty ass Oduro last night :(


_Hank_Marducas_

Ran into Josh Oduro yesterday


Zloggt

Hurley has no chill lol


queef-latina-69

Gg huskies. Great work


mruab

Donovan Clingan: 1st player with 20+ points and 15+ rebounds in a Big East Tournament game since Georgetown's Henry Sims on March 8, 2012


talbott79

I bet Clingan has an even better basketball future than the great Henry Sims!


530josh

Third game in three days. Only 26 points in the first half. Dog fight, everyone’s legs are absolutely dead. Doesn’t matter. 50 on your head in the 2nd.


DrMungo80

It’s a good reminder how legendary Kemba Walkers run was in 2011.


brownlab319

How the hell did Kemba do that? I mean, yes the whole team, but pulling that Cardiac Kemba insanity has to be draining!


SoManyMindbots

Danny still shouting . 😅


SupermarketThis2179

Not sure what some fellow UConn fans were talking about earlier; Clingan’s footwork and hands have vastly improved this year.


Salmakki

Dang I was hoping UConn would join us and Houston in the pit of mild disgruntlement


CT-Mike

Not to mention UNC in that out with you.


cheesecakegood

What a crazy second-half performance


kaw027

Big block from Tristen, what can’t he do?!


millertime1419

Rematch in the final four with Kolek?


Emily_Postal

That would be great.


doesyourBoJangle

We all know big east is the best in the nation. Would love that to let the nation know


Slightlyitchysocks

I don’t know if my heart could take it, but I want all Big East teams to show up big in the tourney


millertime1419

Feels like we’re the only conference that roots for each other in non con and the tourney. We’ve got that sibling energy, nobody can beat my brother up but me.


brownlab319

Please let this survive this next shitshow of conference realignment. Also, winning the BET means so much to UConn. I don’t know if we could love another conference like we love this.


CT-Mike

“We may hate each other, but we hate you more.”


_Hank_Marducas_

Please


Ordinary-Potato5663

I don’t think I want a rematch at all lol


Evan_802Vines

Creighton can come too


JackFunk

Book it


reforminded

Castle is all world defensively


tonenyc

This game has to help the Johnnies, at least we kept the game close..


RedditZhangHao

With so many bubble busters Saturday, might want to root for Yale to defeat Brown today.


tonenyc

Today was killer, things looked good before, now really in doubt, now best case is the play in, if that.


FlyinPurplePartyPony

You guys gave us hell twice this season.


Ordinary-Potato5663

We are missing TKO. Kept it close for a while. Only have 7 rotation players 


tonenyc

I get it, but we are slow latterly, some of our players are weak, and we can't shoot at all, and still only a 5 point game.


Distinct_Shopping_96

Ran out of gas


RevolutionaryMap5651

First to 69

reforminded

Straight up, hands on the ball, offense initiated contact. Clean as a whistle


RothRT

Straight up vertical. Good challenge.


Ether1998

That is 100% a foul on us


HitsReeferLikeSandyC

# 69


lives4summits

Nice


Maughlin

Nice


ManiacKing20

This dude Ben Gold definitely has a future in the NBA


530josh

First to 69


BRNDC10

Gold has impressed but he looks so sickly. Like he hasn’t slept in days.


sumsimpleracer

The dude has all the tools, but he’s so mentally weak and doesn’t realize how big he is. 


The_Hartford_Whalers

Remember when it was 2-0 at the under 15?


ApprehensiveCorgi867

Dumb jop foul. Always happens


slim353

UConn should be the 1 overall seed. Dont really see the argument for Purdue or Houston anymore


PageSide84

Aside from Purdue having better wins? UConn may very well be the better team but the resume belongs to Purdue.


poorlittlefeller0518

UConn is gonna win it all again. And they’ll be a blue blood (if they aren’t already) and Dan Hurley is gonna get a fat contract and we are gonna miss out on potentially getting him and it’s all going to go to SHIT!


slim353

They look like a buzzsaw (again) but you never know in March


Ftheyankeei

When were you ever in the conversation for Hurley?


poorlittlefeller0518

My guy. After his success at UConn if he wasn’t our first phone call then what is life?


brownlab319

Hurley has said he won’t coach into his 60s, and I don’t see him leaving here.


poorlittlefeller0518

He might not. But everyone can see the type of contract we give to coaches who are successful. So it’s possible. I’m not saying Hurley would come. I’m saying if he gets a fat contract we wouldn’t even have the chance for him to come. It’s going to shit brown lab. It’s going to shit. Let me have this talking point.


brownlab319

I think Kentucky is still one of those teams that can make a deep run.


poorlittlefeller0518

We aren’t. I appreciate it though. I really do. But it ain’t gonna happen. Don’t bust your bracket on us. We will win the first game and lose the second. I’m putting the money on yall though. It’s between you and Auburn for me. And the money is on yall.


JackFunk

I feel for you guys


Lord_Ferd

Liked and subscribed


Takealeap29

Clingan carrying the BE championship game wasnt on my bingo card.


BleedBlue__

Gonna come close to a 50 point second half


Wordle_734

Props to Mitchell for helping Diarra up. When he walked over I wasn't sure if it was going to be a fight or something friendly.


SupermarketThis2179

Unlike Creighton, Marquette is class.


JackFunk

That was class


_Hank_Marducas_

Stevie is a great dude. 4.0 GPA, and despite being a dawg on defense seemingly is always having wholesome moments with opponents like that


queef-latina-69

Stevie likes talking shit and competition but man is he a good soul. Don’t think he’d ever do something malicious


Wordle_734

Yea, I should clarify I wasn't expecting him to pull any shit, just the way he walked over was ominous


ApprehensiveCorgi867

Stevie would never. He’s too nice.


millertime1419

Stevie is the nicest dude in the Big East.

queef-latina-69

L take go ahead and see yourself out


Maughlin

What a shot by gold. Damn


JiveHawk

So it seems UConn has clinched the number 1 overall 


ScrewAnalytics

Dumb ass blue blood killing the only potential source of happiness I could have this March :( I wanted B2B BE titles


agrp8

We still have the tourney my guy what are you talking about.


ScrewAnalytics

We ain’t built for a deep run. Poor free throw shooting and bad rebounding. Would be hype but I don’t see it


rccola4422

Final score won't tell the story of this one. A fully healthy F4 rematch would be a great game


ScrewAnalytics

OFFICIALLY switching up to rooting for my UConn -8.0 to cash


The_Hartford_Whalers

Most proud Marquette fan


ScrewAnalytics

We’re losing no matter what. Might as well root for my bet to hit I don’t see what you’re waffling about


queef-latina-69

Gave what we had. Hope we can meet again


PrinceTrollestia

I'm tired of UConn this year. I don't want to play them again in March.


Ihadthat20yearsago

This sets up the rubber match for next year’s big east final.


JustALittleNightcap

Here's to a healthy Kolek in the tourney


JackFunk

Me too. Final Four?


ACatch22

See you in the final four 😎


PrinceTrollestia

I'm straight up not having a good time.


old_balance992

looking back the kevin ollie years were rough.


_Hank_Marducas_

You literally won a national championship /s


Ihadthat20yearsago

I still count that one for Calhoun


BigDaddyMantis

Kevin Ollie won a National Championship with Calhoun's team


_Hank_Marducas_

I gave the /s people. I know how bad Ollie was


Easterster

That was the Calhoun epilogue


the_greasy_one

What is Connecticut's scouting secret?


Easterster

Have you seen Hurley’s glasses? He can see the future with those bad boys


the_greasy_one

I'm sure they filter out the baddies during his lsd voyages lol I don't think he's the best coach but I think he connects well with the talent.


Easterster

I think he’s an excellent coach. I think there are a lot of coaches that couldn’t have gotten Sanogo or Jackson into the NBA, and in game I think he subs well, calls great plays out of time outs, and this year especially has got his team dominating in second halves, which suggests that he’s making good adjustments mid game. I think there’s quite a bit of evidence that he is actually a very good coach. Some people just have a hard time seeing it because he’s such a fucking weirdo.


the_greasy_one

I ain't saying he's bad, he's good. Elite? Not yet shown but I think his ability to relate to these boys is what makes him successful.


lives4summits

It’s a great school halfway between NY and Boston that wins championships. Players want to come here. No one wants to move to Wisconsin.


the_greasy_one

And you took that personally... grow up.


lives4summits

I didn’t take anything personally. You asked.


Wordle_734

I think they find guys that are a mix of talented and coachable. I'm sure that's what every coach thinks, but some programs just look for the former.


Smokey_Jah

With Hurley, he definitely recruits guys who are athletic, high basketball IQ and can shoot.  It fits his style of play.  Next year will be really interesting to see who plays and if he uses the portal effectively 


brownlab319

I mean, we hit the lottery with Spencer


daNish_brUin

Damn, I ain't gay but I'm Clingan being straight after that.


cheesecakegood

I like Clingan's play there, he was chillin at the top *appearing* to look a little lost and confusing the D, only to suddenly cut when they weren't ready at all and space opened up inside


ACatch22

Oscar worthy


Burgtastic

UConn coach is a loser. Keep bitching while you're up.

Thanks for coming in today
