2024 National Championship Purdue vs. UConn: MASTER DISCUSSION THREAD

[nime6]

Supporting casts and 50/50 balls favor UConn

Loyer killing us on these drives. He isn’t getting a call which is what he is looking for

 

[MetMyWifeAtHarrys]

Hurley is the biggest ass this side of Izzo.

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

We have not shot a 3 to date. Our outside shooting could open up the inside more.

 

[seminolesboilers]

Momentum swinging to UConn...time to loosen up the inside game by taking a 3.

 

[Boilermaker427]

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

Smith only one with possible looks and he doesn’t want the three. Granted he’s feeding Edey and TKR in good spots often, but that’s our only opening

Loyer needs to do something positive. Stop going to the rim if you can’t finish

 

[qazplm]

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

That is all UCONN. Elite size and speed on the perimeter.

 

[asby]

Fletcher needs to do something on offense cause he can't stay with any of their guards on Defense

 

[seminolesboilers]

I think Colvin took a 3...

 

[bonefish1]

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

He’s playing good D. Zach’s offense just better.

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

Offense has gone to hell. Gotta hit shots.

 

[The Boiler Special]

Someone else needs to step up offensively. 16 pts to Edey everyone else with 9...

 

[seminolesboilers]

Put Heidi back in...

 

[RDUBoiler]

I think Colvin took a 3...

Yeah, Colvin took a 3, but he's the only one so far.

 

[qazplm]

Smith only one with possible looks and he doesn’t want the three. Granted he’s feeding Edey and TKR in good spots often, but that’s our only opening

Loyer needs to do something positive. Stop going to the rim if you can’t finish

Loyer going to the rim too much has been a thing for awhile.

But the reality is they just physically outmatch us on the perimeter so I get trying to get what you can.

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

That is all UCONN. Elite size and speed on the perimeter.

Smith has had a couple of open top of the key, but he has been gun shy

 

[nime6]

Offense has gone to hell. Gotta hit shots.

They have had the looks, Loyer alone has had 3 good looks, Smith, 3.

 

[Boilermaker427]

Someone else needs to step up offensively. 16 pts to Edey everyone else with 9...

Our guards can’t make their own shots.

 

[Ajas0810]

Their perimeter defense has been tough. No open looks. Looks like they’re not gonna double Edey.

 

[Schnelk]

Nice jumper Braden!

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Big bucket from Smitty! Need a stop, Boilers.

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

Bullseye Agent Smith!

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Agent Smith - BULLSEYE!

 

[qazplm]

That was a good use of a bad switch for the three

 

[Ajas0810]

Hurley is obnoxious.

 

[Schnelk]

Braden for three!!!

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

Smith for 3!!

 

[RDUBoiler]

There's the three! Braden is coming alive.

 

[nime6]

Bsmith keep being aggressive


Breakout game is there for him nationwide

 

[bonefish1]

Smitty! Huge shot!

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

Hurley is obnoxious.

He is a jerk

 

[BoilerNGold013]

Now we need Loyer to get going!

 

[seminolesboilers]

Need to be inside and outside...to keep UConn from jamming the inside against Edey.

 

[drewjin]

Control the pace and keep Edey out there!!!

 

[MetMyWifeAtHarrys]

He’s playing good D. Zach’s offense just better.

I meant when UCONN has the ball. He won't post up.

 

[Boilermaker427]

Need to keep it close or even and get Zach into the locker room for a breather

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

Now we need Loyer to get going!

And Jones

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

Let’s finish these final 2 minutes strong

 

[Erock_94]

Big shot

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

cmon man Gillis hammered

 

[Boilermaker427]

Need a bucket out of the last 6 secs here baaaadddddd
