2024 National Championship Purdue vs. UConn: MASTER DISCUSSION THREAD
- Thread starter Travis Miller
- Start date
Could be worse but we look like our initial hanging is done. Hurley is such a douche. Cam Spencer is his type of player
UCONN is too good. They have a bunch of pros. Purdue has Edey, Smith, and some really good college players.
Putting Furst in there on Clingan even for like 30 secs gave them momentum. We had two horrible turnovers. We need to play perfect and we aren’t. This might get worse before it gets better
We need something from Loyer and Jones that is not a foul or turnover
Gillis does nothing in this game. Purdue better off going with Heide, Colvin, or even TKR.
Their coach has a fantastic offense too. Speed/size on defense
It is a tough team.
Need those 50/50 balls to start falling our way second half
Zach got tired there and didn’t do as much later in the first half. If we are going to win we need more from other players.
We got too cute. Rebound. Fire the 3. Zach needs to think dunk, adjust layup.
At this point, not spelling Edey correctly is just bananas.
Anyone going to call a travel on Spencer in this game? Dude is taking 3 steps before every shot. Didnt play bad but still down 6. Going to need somebody else to step it up in the 2nd half or else its going to be impossible to win.
down 30-36....not terrible for Purdue.....getting beat on the 50/50 balls and need another third man offensive spark. Ok on the turnovers but a couple of costly mistakes. Connecticut's defense is stout.
Keep it a one or two possession game and then sprint to the finish?

they are both douches
Not sure what the answer is on D when we have that high PnR and drop coverage. Their big guards get into the paint and have an easy 8 foot floater
We’ll either be closer than 6 or down 12 after the first few mins of this half, at least we’ll know soon
They just dominate physically. This team would win ten championships in a row if they didn't age.
Purdue hanging to their credit but Edey and Smith aren't enough. Rest of the team is just overwhelmed on offense.

They aren't that good it's not over by a stretch
I think I like Kaufman_Renn over Gillis in this game...provides more height. UConn perimeter defense is stellar...2 3-point attempts...Gillis' attempt was blocked.
Tough half, Boilers playing good, will take them playing great to win
Ps Hurley is a jackass douche, big time!

All their guards travel, I feel like if you say you “play fast” you’re allowed to walk
need something from guards not named smith. shooting floaters isnt going to cut it
I keep thinking someone needs to make a three but I don’t think anyone other than smith has had one I would have taken. Gillis was forced due to late in the clock
It's not over but yes they are very very good
