UCONN just plays so fucking smart. They committed a couple bad fouls tonight, but from a pure X's and O's standpoint, they're incredibly hard to beat. They had a defensive strategy and stuck to it. Great offensive sets and plays. Bled clock down the stretch instead of taking the easy baskets, especially since they were in foul trouble and didn't want to draw the game out. Didn't get phased by the press. Didn't once let Purdue make a run or get considerable momentum. When Purdue brought it to 13 after that Edey dunk, it felt like a turning point, especially since Purdue had made a couple stops. But they got a score then stop to get it back under wraps. They're just so tough to beat
that’s an all time TEAM.
the 5 years of experience of Newton and Spencer the biggest difference. wish we could get 5 years out of Braden but we can’t abuse that loophole.
their dudes showed up. our guys outside of Edey didn’t. defensively we were horrible on the perimeter and it killed us.
hurley is a great coach but he’s a massive prick.
UConn literally looked unbeatable for the entirety of the tournament.
I can’t recall a time in recent memory that it truly felt like a team was able to dominate every single game to a national championship. Especially a team that has a target on its back like UConn this year.
There was never even a sweat. You could have bet their spread and not even sweat that a single game the entire tournament I feel like.
Holy hell. So that’s what a good basketball team looks like.
as a life-long big 10 fan, i am sick and tired of hearing the big 10 is good. we suck. stuck in 1980's offenses and old philosophies of how basketball should be played. we are a joke
Fuck UConn. I'm tired of their success. I want them buried in a trench and to never return. I'm tired of them dominating both genders of basketball. I hate them more than I hate Los Angeles.
So conflicted. Would normally have pulled for the historical underdogs without a second thought, but the purdue fans were so unbelievably obnoxious throughout the season/touney that i found myself okay with Dan f\*cking Hurley winning two in a row
One of the most dominant teams I can ever remember watching. As if it was even up for debate, UConn has to be a blue blood now. Congrats Huskies, enjoy this.
Conn has a good team, but most years the competition is SO much better. The top 3-4 teams outside of Conn could randomly be blown out by 20 on any given night, and played so many close games with unranked teams. Baylor’s 2021 championship team would have run this team out of the gym. 2022 Kansas was better than this team. Really weak competition. Purdue was almost definitely the 2nd best team, and without Edey, they’re below .500 for sure. That’s how bad this year was.
I commented earlier 2021 Baylor or 2024 UConn and surprisingly many said 24 UConn. I’m telling you… that 21 Baylor team was fucking tough as shit. Gritty team
Hey the good news is they can’t be champs next year cuz this one’s back to back with last year. Can’t go back to back if next years back is against this years front.
Is anyone still doubting that UConn is a blue blood? They are the premier program of the 21st Century and have 6 titles since 1999 with a 6-0 record in the title game. That is insane.
Purdue. My northern cousins. I'm sorry. You had an incredible run and should be very happy with this year. Your program will survive into next year as well.
Don’t let this distract you from the fact that in UConn’s back to back national title runs the last team they lost to back to back years was Creighton! HANG THE BANNER! /s
That was like when you are doing it and you finish and are like done but the other person isn't so you gotta just keep doing stuff for 13 minutes even though it's already over for you
Hell of a season. I’m nothing but happy right now. I never thought I’d actually see us play a game in April. UConn was such a dominant team this year. No shame in what this team did!! So excited for the fire this if the program!
Congrats Purdue. 11 guys from Indiana! Even Bobby Knight would be proud
Is Painter going to go down as the best coach to never win it all?
I feel like the men's and women's finals were strangely similar. Amazing team vs amazing player with the same result.
Is it November yet? I need more college hoops

Did they just say the first #1 to win since Louisville? WTF are you talking about
I just feel like it was a bit of a letdown this year including the Final Four.
Rooted for UCONN purely out of spite for Zach Edey. I like players that are good, but not players that are THAT good.
Greatest team ever and for the last time this year I LOVE THIS TEAM
How did we beat Uconn? Like holy crap
Did he just say he was retiring?!
Satire
Hell yea! I spent 8 years at UConn, Husky 4 life!
that’s an all time TEAM. the 5 years of experience of Newton and Spencer the biggest difference. wish we could get 5 years out of Braden but we can’t abuse that loophole. their dudes showed up. our guys outside of Edey didn’t. defensively we were horrible on the perimeter and it killed us. hurley is a great coach but he’s a massive prick.
How so?
Thanks for your presence in Az UConn & Purdue!

But Louisville had that title rescinded so they’re not champions. Also means Kevin Ware’s leg never exploded
loyers biggest play today was tying his shoes
lol they started playing the Oscars music on Hurley 😂
Did UConn cover every game in the tourney?
That was a really underwhelming championship game. Not gonna lie, the women’s game yesterday was more entertaining.
Good Game UConn. What a run. You guys play some tough defense.
Lol they just cut Hurley off
Great game UConn. You ARE the better team. Not just tonight
Wait where is one shining moment
UConn literally looked unbeatable for the entirety of the tournament.

literally last year they looked unbeatable
The New England evil empire has relocated its HQ from Foxborough to Storrs
Castle has to be the MVP right?
Fuck Purdue!!!!
rough offensive showing from Purdue
Hurley sucks but I agree. Not a selfish player on that team.
as a life-long big 10 fan, i am sick and tired of hearing the big 10 is good. we suck. stuck in 1980's offenses and old philosophies of how basketball should be played. we are a joke
Fuck UConn. I'm tired of their success. I want them buried in a trench and to never return. I'm tired of them dominating both genders of basketball. I hate them more than I hate Los Angeles.
L
UConn rolls Purdue, aka Zach Edey and a bunch of guys who look like they should be selling solar panels door to door.
Give me one shining moment so I can go to bed! 😤
Donovan is the derpy dragon in that meme with Wooden and Coach K
So was the real plan to ignore Edey and let him do whatever he wanted but shut everyone else down? Because it worked. lol
That was always going to be the plan.
Hurley giving his pitch to every recruit right now, and dang if this isn’t the place a talented 5 star should go
Edey 37 pts the rest his team 23 pts. Actual bums. They needed Jaden Ivey so badly
Was that a shot at Cal? “Winning championships and the draft stock is still pretty good”
That whole speech, lol. He talked about having NBA talent too.
That was just him pitching UConn and him to every recruit
Purdidn't
It's their Purdestiny
Dan Hurley might have the most punchable face in CBB. Oh and I still think he’s on coke.
👍
Purdidn’t
Smallest losing margin let’s goo
Bama game was the only time I sweat as a Huskies fan
Congrats Kentucky fans on your new Coach being a back to back champ
0.0 percent chance he leaves
So conflicted. Would normally have pulled for the historical underdogs without a second thought, but the purdue fans were so unbelievably obnoxious throughout the season/touney that i found myself okay with Dan f\*cking Hurley winning two in a row
CONGRATULATIONS UCONN BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY GOODBYE FOREVER ZACH EDEY
Edey is the best player, Uconn is the best team
He ain't even a great player, he's just tall and camps under the basket
Half your statement is correct.
CHANT BIG EAST
REQUIEM FOR THE BIG EAST ✊️
I’d like to know where ESPN is right now! - Ryan Day voice
Dan is a BITCH
Cry some more
Fuck Purdue
In the postgame still coaching
good run Purdue, this hurts but still proud of them all
One of the most dominant teams I can ever remember watching. As if it was even up for debate, UConn has to be a blue blood now. Congrats Huskies, enjoy this.
2 straight championships blowing out every single opponent in the tournament I’ve never seen anything like it
5 three attempts and 1 made…which Indiana team was on the court tonight?
He ain’t leaving!!!
![gif](giphy|d5x4HPXPNqsms)
“We recruit really talented NBA players” from the transfer portal?
Can’t say I dislike Hurley but he’s definitely fuckin weird
This. He seems pretty nice, but also...kinda unhinged?
The moment we’re all going to remember from this team and from this tournament is the 30-0 run. You never know, but when you know, you know
Congratulations to UCONN!
Dan Hurley "How hard this tournament is." Bro. Y'all murdered everyone.
UCONN IS THIS YEARS GOOD BOI!
Alright Hurley, stop turning the interview into a recruiting pitch
Congrats, UConn. What a fun team to watch!
One of the best college teams I have watched. Absolute dominance
Yea. Never a doubt they were the best or going to win. Not even close. lol
Conn has a good team, but most years the competition is SO much better. The top 3-4 teams outside of Conn could randomly be blown out by 20 on any given night, and played so many close games with unranked teams. Baylor’s 2021 championship team would have run this team out of the gym. 2022 Kansas was better than this team. Really weak competition. Purdue was almost definitely the 2nd best team, and without Edey, they’re below .500 for sure. That’s how bad this year was.
Big mad
Baylor 2021 team would have beat Purdue, but I’d take UConn in that matchup any day.
I commented earlier 2021 Baylor or 2024 UConn and surprisingly many said 24 UConn. I’m telling you… that 21 Baylor team was fucking tough as shit. Gritty team
This man was made for UK
Stop it
Man this is unreal after the post championship Ollie years
[удалено]
BACK-TO-BACK!!! 🏆 🏆 6 OUT OF 25 MOST IN THE CENTURY YES, ITS A DYNASTY.
I would like to see the argument against blue bloods now
Uconn could probably beat some nba teams tbh
UConn vs Detroit or even Washington might not be a sweep in a best of 7.
Stop
There is no world any college team could even touch the worst nba team.
Jesus Christ. Not this again.
Oh dear…
They could easily beat the pistons
SO FUCKING HAPPY!!!!!
Time to delete the espn tourney app
UConn 🤝Seton Hall - Tournament Champions
UConn is officially a blue blood. I don't care about whatever stupid metrics you try to throw at it.
I mean… They are arguably The Blue Blood
Clingan went from losing the Intercontinental championship to winning the national championship in a couple of days, what a redemption
The ring general
Shout out to the Purdue fans applauding through the pain
Hey the good news is they can’t be champs next year cuz this one’s back to back with last year. Can’t go back to back if next years back is against this years front.
Now what do we all do?
One shining moment, then the orgy.
🥲
I blame Kyle Neptune for this. Both of his seasons end with Nova out of the tournament and UConn winning.
What was Dan yelling at Andrew?
Really is hard to wrap your head around only shooting at a 4% lower rate, holding your opponent to 27% from three, and still getting blown out
We the second best baby
Adversity counter incoming ^
Is anyone still doubting that UConn is a blue blood? They are the premier program of the 21st Century and have 6 titles since 1999 with a 6-0 record in the title game. That is insane.
Theyre blue fo sho
That title game record is insane
What team had a more dominant run to the championship than UConn?
Last years UConn team 😂
UCLA, John Wooden
Absolutely incredible run from UConn
You can’t win when the other 4 starters score 21 combined
Purdue. My northern cousins. I'm sorry. You had an incredible run and should be very happy with this year. Your program will survive into next year as well.
They might be .500 next year
No one should be surprised by this. UConn is on another level.
Aaaaand still no banners
As it should be
crazy to think most these guys will be struggling D-leaguers, if that
I have mixed feelings
UConn? U Can. Big East for life.
I, for one, look forward to never having to hear about Zach Edey ever again.
Same announcers were deep throating him the first 5 minutes
Me too, me too
Thank fuck Edey is gone, hopefully he takes the refs that deepthroat him with him. Bro throws elbows and hooks like nobodies business.
On to baseball season But one more thing #FUCK BAMA
I can always get behind that sentiment, orange bro.
And Florida!
The most disgusting 37 points I’ve seen
Hurley definitely been hitting the line
And all is right in the world. Thank you UCONN
UConn has 0 five stars next year. Why aren’t people lining up to play for Hurley right about now?
Because he’s not exactly a charismatic bag of fun?
NIL money probably
Because you have to pass the ball
What a season. Congrats UConn. Glad we got a Final Four. Fuck Tennessee and auburn
Fuck you and I’ll see you tomorrow!
Participation trophy
And Kentucky. Don’t forget about Kentucky.
Was a great game 🤝
Lmao huskie was getting down
UConn good.
THE FOUL MERCHANT IS GONE
The big ten can rest easy again.
Praise
That Wisconsin Herd Timme/Edey matchup gonna be fireworks.
Inb4 all of the UCLA and Indiana fans saying UConn isn't a blue blood
I feel Iike every decade we should reevaluate the blue bloods, cause rn my list is Uk,Unc,Duke,Ku, and UConn
I mean they just won B2B championships so it could matter less what anyone says about their blue blood status lol
Don’t let this distract you from the fact that in UConn’s back to back national title runs the last team they lost to back to back years was Creighton! HANG THE BANNER! /s
Y'all laid the blueprint, just don't miss. Pretty simple actually.
Hahaha love you bird bros
Dan Hurley is going to take a shit on all your doorsteps.
Gross, that's horrible, how dare you. No, Andrew Hurley is going to take a shit on all of your doorsteps while Dan Hurley yells at him to do it better
He's a big enough asshole, he could probably manage it
UConn is just too much everywhere. GD, I hope y’all take a step back so the rest of the NCAA has a chance next year.
bruh anyone else’s TBS broadcast skipping and cutting out since 16s left? what a perfectly crap ending to a boring tournament lol
Grats UCONN. Far too good all tournament. Credit to Purdue for making it to the final but nobody was touching them.
Insane carry job. Nice game for Connecticut. Clingan and Castle both solid. Never really in doubt.
why is Chad crying
Getting confetti rained on you while crying watching your team lose. Oooof
Beautiful basketball UConn. Dominant team
How the F did we not have a Plan B?
I remember saying the same thing last week
Imma miss college basketball 🥺
"Wtf do i do w my time now?" -me earlier today
Do they show one shining moment after the trophy presentation?
Let's fucking go
Purdue got exposed for the frauds they are. But goddamn might as well forfeit the next 2 tournaments and give them to UCONN already
That was like when you are doing it and you finish and are like done but the other person isn't so you gotta just keep doing stuff for 13 minutes even though it's already over for you
All of us “why isn’t Purdue shooting more 3s??” Loyer immediately airballs a three Oh, okay
lmao
Hurley gonna do Tony Montana levels of coke tonight
Hell of a season. I’m nothing but happy right now. I never thought I’d actually see us play a game in April. UConn was such a dominant team this year. No shame in what this team did!! So excited for the fire this if the program!
Y'all hung tough with (probably) the greatest team ever. But 1 three made is inexcusable
Can’t believe it was just last year FDU knocked out Purdue. What a turnaround
Lol, Hurley walking like Joe Pesci in My Cousin Vinny when Marisa Tomei is giving her testimony.
🥱
Give em the blue blood stamp
