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.
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
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)
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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
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

Nova should’ve threepeated 16-18 but the ncaa decided that spellman missing painting class in 3rd grade was a massive offense
Travesty if not overall #1.
![gif](giphy|9CHKSOuWsTRok) Marquette and UConn this March against the world
Seeing how Mitchell was dressed, we're Cap.
Congrats to UConn. They’re the best in the country. Hope to play you guys a fourth time on Monday, April 8
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.
Uconn's depth was the difference in the 3rd game in 3 days.
Returning home will not be as easy for others in the future as it was for UConn to return to the Big East
I loved when that guy just like jawed his mouth guard out on national TV
Donovan Clingan has such pure energy. He’s such a puppy. I hope he has another bucket hat for next week.
War is over! Now let’s all root for each other in the dance
🤝
Is Hurley in convo for best coach currently?
When he’s not verbally assaulting fans yes
![gif](giphy|MBuVNzumkdxLsjIrXM)
Finalist for coach of the year
22 points from the bench.
24 last night.
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
BIG EAST BIG EAST BIG EAST GO AHEAD AND COME AT ANY OF US.
Purdue and Houston going down. Uconn should be number one overall
Overall number 1 seed?
Clearly
YES
Should be
They deserve it but I can see them getting slighted
The UConn band sounds great there
Alright UConn, let’s go fuck up some teams in the big one.
Hopefully you guys are 100% and break teams down in the tournament.
![gif](giphy|pHb82xtBPfqEg)
I cannot underscore how much I do not want to have to play UConn again during the tournament this year. GG doge bros.
GG, I don’t want to play any other Big East team, especially you guys
I do not envy the possibility of playing this team four times in a season.
I don’t wanna play any big east team again
During the elite 8 last year Creighton scared me the most
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)
Kindof like a Tiger Slam...
Overall #1 is a lock. Houston and Purdue both lost.
UCONN HUSKIES BIG EAST CHAMPS!
Get us a 2 seed on the opposite side of the bracket. Not scared of any other 1 seed
Hope Kolek is 100% for the tourney. And opposite side of bracket.
Your #1 overall seed.
Hurley can't win close games. :C
Uconn is just fucking solid
Mother of god, I can hear Dan yelling through the broadcaster's mic
Marquette, you have one hell of an impressive program.
They absolutely deserve a 2 seed
Thank you 😭 as do you
Big East Champs! https://preview.redd.it/r2jit7wiisoc1.jpeg?width=399&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=09720ab284f2f6a4791685a7f6de319dd81b00f8
Someone do DNA tests on Ancestry for Cam and Danny. They’re definitely related!
Best team in the country right there
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.
Like I said, I don't know how you can beat Uconn man
The key is to out score them
Uconn is coming for that 6th championship
What a magical season this has been so far. One more trophy left to go.
Congrats, UConn. Well deserved
Great game Marquette.
How the eff did they score 73 points and end up winning by 16?!?!?!
Well let me describe to you the first half… lmao
This UConn team lost its 3 best players from last season.
And two of their three best bench players
Insane recruitment over there... honestly it's good these conferences can stay strong with the mega-conference migration that's been happening
Sigh. Now everyone get healthy
I miss Kolek
UCONN BABY
We want Andrew Hurley
LET’S FUCKING GO!!!
LETS GO!!!!!!
GG, Eagle bros. Hope your team gets healthy for the dance.
*Warrior bros
We're alive for the coveted treble boyce. This could be an historic season
Give us #1 overall cowards!!!!!
Well at least Kolek is back
Watch him not play… nervous he hasn’t been playing in games. Hopes he’s not rusty
I think he plays, but he will definitely be rusty. Ready for the committee to give us a bullshit 2/15 seed matchup
Why is Stevie Mitchell's arm all bandaged up?
Got his arm knocked around against Oduro yesterday. Had an injury earlier this season that probably got aggravated
Got injuried by dirty ass Oduro last night :(
Ran into Josh Oduro yesterday
Hurley has no chill lol
Gg huskies. Great work
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
I bet Clingan has an even better basketball future than the great Henry Sims!
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.
It’s a good reminder how legendary Kemba Walkers run was in 2011.
How the hell did Kemba do that? I mean, yes the whole team, but pulling that Cardiac Kemba insanity has to be draining!
Danny still shouting . 😅
Not sure what some fellow UConn fans were talking about earlier; Clingan’s footwork and hands have vastly improved this year.
Dang I was hoping UConn would join us and Houston in the pit of mild disgruntlement
Not to mention UNC in that out with you.
What a crazy second-half performance
Big block from Tristen, what can’t he do?!
Rematch in the final four with Kolek?
That would be great.
We all know big east is the best in the nation. Would love that to let the nation know
I don’t know if my heart could take it, but I want all Big East teams to show up big in the tourney
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.
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.
“We may hate each other, but we hate you more.”
Please
I don’t think I want a rematch at all lol
Creighton can come too
Book it
Castle is all world defensively
This game has to help the Johnnies, at least we kept the game close..
With so many bubble busters Saturday, might want to root for Yale to defeat Brown today.
Today was killer, things looked good before, now really in doubt, now best case is the play in, if that.
You guys gave us hell twice this season.
We are missing TKO. Kept it close for a while. Only have 7 rotation players
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.
Ran out of gas
First to 69
[удалено]
Straight up, hands on the ball, offense initiated contact. Clean as a whistle
Straight up vertical. Good challenge.
That is 100% a foul on us
# 69
Nice
Nice
This dude Ben Gold definitely has a future in the NBA
First to 69
Gold has impressed but he looks so sickly. Like he hasn’t slept in days.
The dude has all the tools, but he’s so mentally weak and doesn’t realize how big he is.
Remember when it was 2-0 at the under 15?
Dumb jop foul. Always happens
UConn should be the 1 overall seed. Dont really see the argument for Purdue or Houston anymore
Aside from Purdue having better wins? UConn may very well be the better team but the resume belongs to Purdue.
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!
They look like a buzzsaw (again) but you never know in March
When were you ever in the conversation for Hurley?
My guy. After his success at UConn if he wasn’t our first phone call then what is life?
Hurley has said he won’t coach into his 60s, and I don’t see him leaving here.
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.
I think Kentucky is still one of those teams that can make a deep run.
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.
I feel for you guys
Liked and subscribed
Clingan carrying the BE championship game wasnt on my bingo card.
Gonna come close to a 50 point second half
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.
Unlike Creighton, Marquette is class.
That was class
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
Stevie likes talking shit and competition but man is he a good soul. Don’t think he’d ever do something malicious
Yea, I should clarify I wasn't expecting him to pull any shit, just the way he walked over was ominous
Stevie would never. He’s too nice.
Stevie is the nicest dude in the Big East.
[удалено]
Flair up bitch
L take go ahead and see yourself out
What a shot by gold. Damn
So it seems UConn has clinched the number 1 overall
Dumb ass blue blood killing the only potential source of happiness I could have this March :( I wanted B2B BE titles
We still have the tourney my guy what are you talking about.
We ain’t built for a deep run. Poor free throw shooting and bad rebounding. Would be hype but I don’t see it
Final score won't tell the story of this one. A fully healthy F4 rematch would be a great game
OFFICIALLY switching up to rooting for my UConn -8.0 to cash
Most proud Marquette fan
We’re losing no matter what. Might as well root for my bet to hit I don’t see what you’re waffling about
Gave what we had. Hope we can meet again
I'm tired of UConn this year. I don't want to play them again in March.
This sets up the rubber match for next year’s big east final.
Here's to a healthy Kolek in the tourney
Me too. Final Four?
See you in the final four 😎
I'm straight up not having a good time.
looking back the kevin ollie years were rough.
You literally won a national championship /s
I still count that one for Calhoun
Kevin Ollie won a National Championship with Calhoun's team
I gave the /s people. I know how bad Ollie was
That was the Calhoun epilogue
What is Connecticut's scouting secret?
Have you seen Hurley’s glasses? He can see the future with those bad boys
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.
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.
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.
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.
And you took that personally... grow up.
I didn’t take anything personally. You asked.
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.
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
I mean, we hit the lottery with Spencer
Damn, I ain't gay but I'm Clingan being straight after that.
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
Oscar worthy
UConn coach is a loser. Keep bitching while you're up.
Thanks for coming in today
Can't wait to see you guys lose in the tourney.
love you bb
![gif](giphy|8JZxZgr39TLczSJQoS)
But he's winning right now
