2024 National Championship Purdue vs. UConn: MASTER DISCUSSION THREAD

[nime6]

getting outhustled now

 

[seminolesboilers]

Can we rebound!!!!!

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

How many offensive rebounds do they have?

 

[Gman544]

12 offensive boards too quick

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

It was a great season. We just ran into a team better than every other team for the last two years.

This Connecticut two-year run has been impressive......probably more so than even Florida's.

 

[asby]

Loyer and Jones giving nothing on offense...Not even able to get a shot off....

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

How many offensive rebounds do they have?

12 - a bunch this half already. 4/15 from deep keeping the Boilers alive for now.

 

[qazplm]

I mean if they are going to make those shots...

 

[qazplm]

This Connecticut two-year run has been impressive......probably more so than even Florida's.

The level of talent...it feels like they have 7 NBA guys out there.

 

[asby]

When our true freshman bench player is the only one taking 3's....it's not going well

 

[icewind7]

have faith, stay calm

 

[ImRonBurgandy?]

38 pts...cool

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Good look for Colvin.....not good enough tonight, Boilers.

 

[nime6]

When our true freshman bench player is the only one taking 3's....it's not going well

Only guy other than Smith not scared to take them

 

[qazplm]

At this point, I'd be happy getting it down under 10 at the end.

No shame. This is the best basketball team I've seen, well, possibly ever.

 

[Boilermaker427]

They aren’t going to foul out soon enough. Were cooked lol

 

[mryankee2397]

edey has lost his composure.

 

[BoilerDeac]

This is over. UCONN has no weakness. Almost unfair how good they are.

 

[seminolesboilers]

Let's keep this deficit under 20 points...

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

Someone has to find their 3 point shot

 

[Gman544]

Try to keep it under twenty point loss.

 

[MetMyWifeAtHarrys]

Someone needs to put Bill Rafferty in a home already.

 

[Poprudy]

Well, I guess we had a feeling our guards couldn't compete against top guard play. We needed Fletch, Smith and Jones to get double digits.
Man this sucks.

 

[Boilermaker427]

Time is now, Boilers - game slipping away but not totally out of reach yet.

We’re down 13. Are we going to even score 13 more points at this rate? 😂

 

[Grob13]

Frustrated with just throwing it to Edey every time down when he hasnt made a jumper in like 20 minutes of game action but i feel like its the only thing they can do. Im not sure we can get a shot off any other way at this point. Oh well it was a good season.

 

[seminolesboilers]

Not many open looks from beyond the arc...

 

[Boilerfla]

Let’s dig deep, get under 10 and then we’ll see , gut it out !

 

[Roeder]

Someone needs to put Bill Rafferty in a home already.

I wish I could mute him only. Don't mind Eagle or Hill

 

[Boilermaker427]

If Loyer cannot hit 3s, he needs to be on the bench

He can’t even get open for one. Hard to make them when you can’t take them

 

[qazplm]

This is over. UCONN has no weakness. Almost unfair how good they are.

Best team I've ever seen. Defense is elite, rebounding, shooting, passing all elite. Elite players off the bench. I think the only way to hang is to have multiple elite backcourt players who can shoot and score and some bigs to rebound.

 

[seminolesboilers]

It looks like UConnn will cover...

 

[tjreese]

Can’t get three point shots off over their big guards. Edey mostly not doubled, so no usual open looks. They are willing to let Edey go for 30plus with only maybe 2 or 3 threes . Their backcourt out scoring Purdue by about 15.

Spencer has had his way, but Triston has penetrated as Purdue was trailing by going over on him too

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Not looking good for Purdue - but there is over 11 minutes left......they need a huge spark though and some help from Connecticut.

 

[Boilermaker427]

How appropriate an airball for a turnover

 

[bonefish1]

Those big guards are killing us.

 

[BBG]

I am not even mad at this. We're playing a loaded, tall and experienced team in a NATIONAL TITLE game.

Is what it is.

 

[seminolesboilers]

Embarrassing to air ball a free throw,,,this will be ugly.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Front end air ball? Oh heavens.....

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

no travel there

 

[Grob13]

Airball from Edey on the free throw. Now a travel. The big from UCONN has give him problems as i feared.
