No more so than Al McGuire.

He does his thing to keep the pressure off the players.

I kinda like Hurley...

If uconn gets one of these, it's over

[PGsHeroes32]

Purdue has Edey

But Uconn has the next 5 best players.

[21Jumpstreet]

😳 That tip dunk tho

[jesmu84]

What does UConn do on defense now?

[PGsHeroes32]

Kinda wild that Painter went to half and said "fu ck it, lets just run it back with the same plan this half"

Just force feeding Edey still and hes not even scoring for nearly 20 min of game time now.

[PGsHeroes32]

What does UConn do on defense now?

Clingan and Johnson still have 5 fouls total to give.

Keep making Purdue try to score 2 pts every time with Edey, its not exactly working.

Heide heide heide hi....

Sure. But without Clingan, UConn is gonna double. That's gonna allow open 3s, which plays to Purdue strengths

[The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole]

I feel like Purdue runs an offense from 1985.

[PGsHeroes32]

Sure. But without Clingan, UConn is gonna double. That's gonna allow open 3s, which plays to Purdue strengths

Except they arent doing it.

Hurley is coaching circles around Painter right now. And they are using Johnson to get Edey and his slow feet moving.

[tower912]

UConn is going to run at the shooters with length

[jesmu84]

UConn down to 3 post fouls to give

[PGsHeroes32]

Now 4 on Johnson isnt ideal...

Uconn missing a lot of open shots could be up 20

[tower912]

Sending double teams now with foul trouble on Clingan and Johnson

[PGsHeroes32]

Edey is off. Uconn refusing to concede is paying off

[NickelDimer]

Purdue is lucky Karaban can’t hit the broadside of a barn or they’d be down 20+

[jesmu84]

I did not expect uconn to have a such a rebounding advantage

[MuggsyB]

Start the bus?

[wadesworld]

Yeah, no. I’m absolutely taking Smith over Karaban and Castle. Castle will obviously have the better pro career. But Smith is a great guard. Karaban is nowhere close to as good as Smith, and Castle is a better defender but not close to Smith offensively.

[Tyler COLEk]

Purdue cannot compete with UConn outside the center position.

[tower912]

It isn't over.  With Uconn doubling now, there are going to be looks from 3.  Purdue needs to hit some.  If they don't, they will lose by 20.

Castle is a fu cking menace in this game. Hes everywhere.

Loyer looks like he belongs in the MEAC when up against Uconns length.

Yeah, Smith probably over Karaban. But lets see him witouth the mountain next year. Castle has been in his mug all half.

[NickelDimer]

Their coverage on the perimeter even when they double has been really good

[jesmu84]

Purdue now has 10 in this half
