Respect

[tower912]

1.  #1.  Defending national champs.   Pretty darn good.  Bigger, stronger, faster, deeper, at home.
2.  The only way to win was to turn UConn over and to make it rain from 3.
3.   Simply put, every MU player needed to be better.  UConn is too good to beat at their place without being superb.
4.   UConn had an answer for whatever MU was running.  First team to really make MU stand still.   To both take away the pick and roll (a UConn specialty) and stay home on 3 pt shooters.
5.  UConn's forwards were too quick today.   Ben on Karaban isn't great.  Neutralized the twin tower concept.
6.  I admired the optimism of all who seriously thought MU could win this game.  I wondered what you had been watching, but I admired it.  I always thought double digit loss.
7.  Tip your hat, accept the L, go back to work, bounce back. 
8.  UConn made a statement.  This game was all about what UConn did.  It is on MU to respond.

This reads like the lost by 3, not 30.   Total dung today.

Very impressive and dominating performance from UCONN. They look to be in a class of their own. IMO, they are way better than Purdue.

[The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole]

UConn's better. Doesn't mean they're unbeatable.

At least there will be 10 minutes of film of Oso not getting back on his guy for a dunk

F’k em

[Vander Blue Man Group]

Really disappointing but a great learning experience, hopefully.

3 games in a row coming up at home.

I hope and anticipate UConn will be #1 when they visit Milwaukee in March. I expect a much better effort then.

Otherwise, I’m chalking this up as an aberration and I’d advise people not overreact and lose their minds (won’t happen).

Winning on the road is nearly impossible this season so we aren’t going to be penalized for this.

It was going to take the stars aligning to win today. I’m brushing this off and everyone should as well. If we repeat this effort vs UConn at home next time then we have some issues.

1 seed is most likely closed now outside of winning out. Onto the next one.

I’d really enjoy a Houston vs UConn matchup. Houston can match their physicality.  UConn would stomp Purdue.

[HowardsWorld]

This game just showed me that UConn is just in a class of itself. I don’t see any team beating them in the tournament.

They would manhandle Purdue imo. Unless they run into a team that shoots 60% from 3 they are repeating as champs

[CTWarrior]

I thought we were going to be beaten badly, so I'm not surprised.  But I did not think we were going to play so scared and tentatively.  I am very disappointed in every aspect of the game today. 

Just have to forget about it and move on.

Purdue can absolutely play with UCONN. Klingan would be in foul trouble all game. Him going to the bench totally changes the team/game.

If we lose in NCAA, I’m pulling for UCONN to repeat. Good for the conference.

Yeah, they’re the obvious pick. They actually have someone near Edey’s size and the supporting cast is better.

[frozena pizza]

Not surprised we lost but the margin is disturbing.  There are three tiers in the BE:

1. UConn
2. The next 8
3. Georgetown, Depaul

If Cam Spencer wasn’t on the team maybe. But Kolek that guy.

Not at all. More like 5 tiers.

1) UCONN





2) Marquette





3) Creighton
4) the next 6 teams









5) GTown, DePaul

Cannot disagree with almost all of this, but the Warriors played colossally poor today.  For an experienced, senior led team, it should not happen.  And yet is has, repeatedly this season.

Not enjoying the ride at the moment.

[Shooter McGavin]

No positives this game. Well one, health.  Was hoping they would come in with a chip on their shoulder and give UConn a game. But they did not show up.  No players stood out on the positive ledger.  Wish Stevie played more in the second half.  Needed toughness. 

Still bullish on this team but UConn is simply better.

Repeatedly? We’re 19-6.

My first thought when I saw the seed reveal today is that I did not want to be in UConn (which we wouldn't be) or Houston's bracket.  Those two teams are horrible matchups for us.  I think Purdue matches up with UConn better than you think because Edey will not be intimidated by Clingan, but their guards will have trouble keeping up with UConn.

Load management.

Yes, that 8 game winning streak was not fun.
