2024 National Championship Purdue vs. UConn: MASTER DISCUSSION THREAD

[RDUBoiler]

Starting to draw some fouls. Gotta hit FTs, though.

 

[Schnelk]

Great drive Braden!

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Two bad (but correct calls) fouls for Jonesy....ouch.

 

[Schnelk]

Zach hits another one!

 

[Abugabby]

Why were the announcers so excited for the Edey walk? Bias is evident.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Smitty - fading off on those shots for some reason....need those, buddy.

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

Rather see Braden fire the 3 over that elbow jumper

 

[nime6]

Smith has to stay aggressive. Keep shooting those every time

 

[BoilerNGold013]

They have 5 pts off of lucky scrambles. Sucks. Edey is showing off why he is a fcking NBA pro tonight.

Should have been called for the illegal screen which is why they were happy with the travel I think

 

[bonefish1]

Can’t complain about the officiating. Edey getting away with a lot of physical play

 

[Boilermaker427]

Elbow jumper is not there for Smith. Jones with two dumb fouls isn’t good, we need him on defense at minimum. He will probably be out until halftime. We are getting some fouls piled up but we’re just exchanging buckets more or less. We need a little run. I don’t need a big one, maybe just 5 points. Need some breathing room

 

[nime6]

Cam, Jones, Loyer, Mason, Colvin please hit some threes

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

We need to get our 3s going.

 

[bonefish1]

That’s his shot. Those are great looks.

 

[tenwest]

Gotta get that guy off of Braden. He’s wearing him down

 

[seminolesboilers]

Only 1 3-point attempt for Purdue (Colvin 0-1)...we have established Edey inside.

 

[Boilermaker427]

How insane is it that our only shot from three has been Colvin

 

[MetMyWifeAtHarrys]

Clingan wants nothing to do with Edey in the paint on offense. So soft. Love it.

 

[bonefish1]

We need to get our 3s going.

Not getting any clean looks.

 

[nime6]

**** the Hurley’s

 

[Boilermaker427]

Damn, Edey can’t be out long

 

[nime6]

Boo, with the furst move

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

lol wth was that call

 

[Boilermaker427]

Zach was out long enough for a mini UConn run

 

[nime6]

Loyer have to make that

 

[seminolesboilers]

Edey has to play 39 minutes.

 

[nime6]

Give Hurley a tech

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

Give Hurley a T!

 

[Boilermaker427]

Can Spencer tripped. Wow

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

Spencer traveled again

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Fletch with some tough runners.....this is a battle and then some.

 

[nime6]

TKR is getting fouled on these rebounds

 

[seminolesboilers]

I feel a UConn run...

 

[nime6]

Danger zone

 

[qazplm]

Our inability to get anyone open for a three is what I was worried about. Their defense on the perimeter is elite level.

Well I mean they are elite in literally everything they do so...

 

[Boilermaker427]

Falling apart. Couldn’t give Edey a blow. Couldn’t afford it

 

[Abugabby]

Hurley is trying to get into the Boiler's heads...keeps running up to them, talking shit to Edey, clapping at Edey when he missed the freethrow...what a bag of dicks.

 

[bonefish1]

Loyer struggling

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Boilers need some more offense besides ZE. Gotta hang tough here to finish the half.
