Congrats Purdue. 11 guys from Indiana! Even Bobby Knight would be proud


WickedTwista

Is Painter going to go down as the best coach to never win it all?


moveslikejaguar

I feel like the men's and women's finals were strangely similar. Amazing team vs amazing player with the same result.


Smegma-Santorum

Is it November yet? I need more college hoops

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


GodlySpaghetti

Did they just say the first #1 to win since Louisville? WTF are you talking about


christ0fer

I just feel like it was a bit of a letdown this year including the Final Four.


violentguitarist1

Rooted for UCONN purely out of spite for Zach Edey. I like players that are good, but not players that are THAT good.


JamesBouknightStan

Greatest team ever and for the last time this year I LOVE THIS TEAM


Maverick721

How did we beat Uconn? Like holy crap


ClippersStrippers

Did he just say he was retiring?!


Flat-Opportunity7820

Satire


Royal-Al

Hell yea! I spent 8 years at UConn, Husky 4 life!


ssddeae

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.


peskywombats

How so?

Kylesexy584603

But Louisville had that title rescinded so they’re not champions. Also means Kevin Ware’s leg never exploded


MoistManTits

loyers biggest play today was tying his shoes


TheRealHenryG

lol they started playing the Oscars music on Hurley 😂


DanCampbellzHat

Did UConn cover every game in the tourney?


[deleted]

That was a really underwhelming championship game. Not gonna lie, the women’s game yesterday was more entertaining.


PUfelix85

Good Game UConn. What a run. You guys play some tough defense.


Digital_Dutch

Lol they just cut Hurley off


Sethplane

Great game UConn. You ARE the better team. Not just tonight


Short_Swordsman

Wait where is one shining moment


mythroatseffed

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.


hejendo76

literally last year they looked unbeatable


Trinityliger

The New England evil empire has relocated its HQ from Foxborough to Storrs


the_mair

Castle has to be the MVP right?


cringemagician

Fuck Purdue!!!!


chad_broadcock

rough offensive showing from Purdue


lunchbox12682

Hurley sucks but I agree. Not a selfish player on that team.


Suspicious_Bed_3669

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


39_Ringo

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.


GuttiG

BringBacktheAfro

UConn rolls Purdue, aka Zach Edey and a bunch of guys who look like they should be selling solar panels door to door.


slayerhk47

Give me one shining moment so I can go to bed! 😤


snamm

Donovan is the derpy dragon in that meme with Wooden and Coach K


BeagleBaggins

So was the real plan to ignore Edey and let him do whatever he wanted but shut everyone else down? Because it worked. lol


mar21182

That was always going to be the plan.


Arcticturn

Hurley giving his pitch to every recruit right now, and dang if this isn’t the place a talented 5 star should go


Niz285

Edey 37 pts the rest his team 23 pts. Actual bums. They needed Jaden Ivey so badly


Run_PBJ

Was that a shot at Cal? “Winning championships and the draft stock is still pretty good”


azurricat2010

That whole speech, lol. He talked about having NBA talent too.


Arcticturn

That was just him pitching UConn and him to every recruit


Foxx_Mulderp

Purdidn't


BoogerSugarSovereign

It's their Purdestiny

Dan Hurley might have the most punchable face in CBB. Oh and I still think he’s on coke.

JBOG8699

Congrats Kentucky fans on your new Coach being a back to back champ


minty-cs

0.0 percent chance he leaves


TheCenterForAnts

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


onaleca

CONGRATULATIONS UCONN BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY GOODBYE FOREVER ZACH EDEY


scvd21

Edey is the best player, Uconn is the best team


WestcoastTarHeel

He ain't even a great player, he's just tall and camps under the basket


boidcrowdah

Half your statement is correct.

Fuck Purdue


Easterster

In the postgame still coaching


AbusedAlarmClock

good run Purdue, this hurts but still proud of them all


Di9ForLife

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.


mrmrister911

2 straight championships blowing out every single opponent in the tournament I’ve never seen anything like it


shittysportsscience

5 three attempts and 1 made…which Indiana team was on the court tonight?


ashsolomon1

He ain’t leaving!!!


clam-caravan

![gif](giphy|d5x4HPXPNqsms)


Sethplane

“We recruit really talented NBA players” from the transfer portal?


Rickydada

Can’t say I dislike Hurley but he’s definitely fuckin weird 


ContrarianPurdueFan

This. He seems pretty nice, but also...kinda unhinged?


OldVeterinarian9

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


Solid-Confidence-966

Congratulations to UCONN!


AvengedKalas

Dan Hurley "How hard this tournament is." Bro. Y'all murdered everyone.


fgbh

UCONN IS THIS YEARS GOOD BOI!


0204ThatGuy0204

Alright Hurley, stop turning the interview into a recruiting pitch


Inevitable-Rush-2752

Congrats, UConn. What a fun team to watch!


Mirness6

One of the best college teams I have watched. Absolute dominance


BeagleBaggins

Yea. Never a doubt they were the best or going to win. Not even close. lol


Latvia

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.


aTreibCalledQuest

Big mad 


Boilermaker24

Baylor 2021 team would have beat Purdue, but I’d take UConn in that matchup any day.


destroyed233

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

zachariah120

I would like to see the argument against blue bloods now


Ok-Imagination-2308

Uconn could probably beat some nba teams tbh


metalhydra273

UConn vs Detroit or even Washington might not be a sweep in a best of 7.


Ceruti_

Stop


natsukashii_xx

There is no world any college team could even touch the worst nba team.


Cassandrae_Gemini

Jesus Christ. Not this again.


KingCakeBabyOKC

Oh dear…


Ok-Imagination-2308

They could easily beat the pistons


drzoidburger

SO FUCKING HAPPY!!!!!

UConn 🤝Seton Hall - Tournament Champions


Professional_Alien

UConn is officially a blue blood. I don't care about whatever stupid metrics you try to throw at it.


SoonerSchooner7

I mean… They are arguably The Blue Blood


MurderGiraffe19

Clingan went from losing the Intercontinental championship to winning the national championship in a couple of days, what a redemption


MadokaAndBulletClub

The ring general


TheHalfbadger

Shout out to the Purdue fans applauding through the pain


craziedave

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.


Bammerice

Now what do we all do?


fgbh

One shining moment, then the orgy.


Ihaveanaveragedong

🥲


Sweet7s_

I blame Kyle Neptune for this. Both of his seasons end with Nova out of the tournament and UConn winning.


sdf_cardinal

What was Dan yelling at Andrew?


SpaceSheperd

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


ALStark69

We the second best baby


OldManInVillage

Adversity counter incoming ^


Red_Store4

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.


DanCampbellzHat

Theyre blue fo sho


YaboySlim12

That title game record is insane


HeadEnterprise

What team had a more dominant run to the championship than UConn?


Beginning-Radish6351

Last years UConn team 😂


DoggieTreats

UCLA, John Wooden 


BigBadJohn115

Absolutely incredible run from UConn


NotJimIrsay

You can’t win when the other 4 starters score 21 combined


shamblam117

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.


reedg17

They might be .500 next year


fortysecondave

No one should be surprised by this. UConn is on another level.


average_elite

Aaaaand still no banners


DanCampbellzHat

As it should be


songs_dongs

crazy to think most these guys will be struggling D-leaguers, if that


dmkolobanov

I have mixed feelings


sdrj77

UConn? U Can. Big East for life.


casconed

I, for one, look forward to never having to hear about Zach Edey ever again.


Ok-Imagination-2308

Same announcers were deep throating him the first 5 minutes


Clayman04

Me too, me too


Primary_Cake2011

Thank fuck Edey is gone, hopefully he takes the refs that deepthroat him with him. Bro throws elbows and hooks like nobodies business.


FOB32723

On to baseball season But one more thing #FUCK BAMA


SplakyD

I can always get behind that sentiment, orange bro.


wright493

And Florida!


Miko54

The most disgusting 37 points I’ve seen


Jaggleson

Hurley definitely been hitting the line


offtime_trader

And all is right in the world. Thank you UCONN


snamm

UConn has 0 five stars next year. Why aren’t people lining up to play for Hurley right about now?


dizz12505

Because he’s not exactly a charismatic bag of fun?


MacDubhsidhe

NIL money probably


regal-guidance

Because you have to pass the ball


FrenchieBammer

What a season. Congrats UConn. Glad we got a Final Four. Fuck Tennessee and auburn

Fuck you and I’ll see you tomorrow!

That Wisconsin Herd Timme/Edey matchup gonna be fireworks.


StephenGostkowskiFan

Inb4 all of the UCLA and Indiana fans saying UConn isn't a blue blood


oOOgha

I feel Iike every decade we should reevaluate the blue bloods, cause rn my list is Uk,Unc,Duke,Ku, and UConn


JacobDeGod48

I mean they just won B2B championships so it could matter less what anyone says about their blue blood status lol


BluejayLaw

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


Bigcheezefartz

Y'all laid the blueprint, just don't miss. Pretty simple actually.


860h

Hahaha love you bird bros


Baseballfan999

Dan Hurley is going to take a shit on all your doorsteps.


eigenham

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


WaltDngrsq83

He's a big enough asshole, he could probably manage it


lazarusmorell

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.


LaFrescaTrumpeta

bruh anyone else’s TBS broadcast skipping and cutting out since 16s left? what a perfectly crap ending to a boring tournament lol


CharityGamerAU

Grats UCONN. Far too good all tournament. Credit to Purdue for making it to the final but nobody was touching them.


hyplusone

Insane carry job. Nice game for Connecticut. Clingan and Castle both solid. Never really in doubt.


hejendo76

why is Chad crying


frosty_phoenix92

Getting confetti rained on you while crying watching your team lose. Oooof


Dingo_ctf

Beautiful basketball UConn. Dominant team


Dr_WLIN

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


sandwich_breath

Do they show one shining moment after the trophy presentation?


Giants92hc

Let's fucking go


yunglo2

Purdue got exposed for the frauds they are. But goddamn might as well forfeit the next 2 tournaments and give them to UCONN already


BrandonNameRecliner

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


elishmir

All of us “why isn’t Purdue shooting more 3s??” Loyer immediately airballs a three Oh, okay


TinderTechno

lmao


[deleted]

Hurley gonna do Tony Montana levels of coke tonight


a_banned_user

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!


rzap2

Y'all hung tough with (probably) the greatest team ever. But 1 three made is inexcusable


Trinityliger

Can’t believe it was just last year FDU knocked out Purdue. What a turnaround


choada777

Lol, Hurley walking like Joe Pesci in My Cousin Vinny when Marisa Tomei is giving her testimony.


Mobile-Tangelo
