2024 National Championship Purdue vs. UConn: MASTER DISCUSSION THREAD

[Boilermaker427]

Would be nice to at least show some fight here. We can’t catch them but we can end with a respectable score if we can take advantage of clingan being out a bit

 

[pubill]

Clanker is a better rim protector than Edey...

That was well known before this game

 

[nime6]

Let;s go out gunning from 3.

 

[Boilermaker427]

How did this team lose to seton hall? Lol

 

[Gman544]

Great team, well coached, besides the talent they run their stuff beautifully.

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

We have 14 points this half

 

[qazplm]

Kinda the reverse of the NC ST game. Shows the gaps.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Better front end there for Big Maple.

 

[Boilermaker427]

Cam Spencer getting a title is only thing close to as bad as getting this far and coming short

 

[qazplm]

Wow Spencer looks more athletic than Colvin

 

[Jbigler1986]

I figured we would lose. But at least shooting some 3's would be nice. Scared to shoot.

 

[nime6]

Not going to win forcing the ball to edey anymore

 

[Boilermaker427]

Can’t even rebound lol

 

[Jbigler1986]

Let;s go out gunning from 3.

I agree. Just start letting them fly. Not even attempting 10 is a crime

 

[Ajas0810]

There’s less than 8 minutes left in the game. Why not play lance jones instead of Colvin? Play your senior.

 

[Boilermaker427]

Just start firing threes. Cant win this one anymore. The 25% of the fans there for UConn will be happy

 

[seminolesboilers]

Edey might want to think about coming back...2nd round pick now after this game.

 

[Boilermaker427]

46 points with 5 mins left. Woof

 

[qazplm]

I like Colvin seeing this level of play. I'd put other younger players in. We aren't winning this game.

 

[Gman544]

Nope can’t get them off.

 

[Boilerfla]

So we’re better than every team but 1, ok, great year guys!!! Hold your heads high

 

[RDUBoiler]

Definitely needed more athleticism.

 

[Boilermaker427]

Got to the tournament and airballed two free throws. We can’t keep him tho.

 

[bonefish1]

Their 3 guards are 6'4, 6'5 and 6'6....

That was the difference: our guards go 5’11, 6’1, 6’4.

 

[Boilermaker427]

20+ loss coming at us

 

[RDUBoiler]

I like Colvin seeing this level of play. I'd put other younger players in. We aren't winning this game.

Heide, too.

 

[qazplm]

Definitely needed more athleticism.

I mean...they do this to everyone. No shame.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

That was probably a foul on ZE....oh well. Credit the Huskies.....too good all year long.

 

[Boilermaker427]

Heide, too.

Maybe im wrong, but I fail to see how getting torched on the biggest stage will help much for next year

 

[Boilermaker427]

Can we break 60? 55?

 

[nime6]

Cam wide open 3, passes it up

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

well that's that. Thanks for the memories sincerely. Love my Boilers.

 

[seminolesboilers]

Edey definitely did NOT help his draft stock in this game...

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

That was the difference: our guards go 5’11, 6’1, 6’4.

Loyer played like under 6’

 

[qazplm]

Maybe im wrong, but I fail to see how getting torched on the biggest stage will help much for next year

Shows the younger players what the standard is and how much more they have to work to get there.

They ain't learning anything watching this from the bench.

 

[Jbigler1986]

20+ loss coming at us

Just like every single other team they have been playing. They are just that good this year unfortunately.

 

[Boilermaker427]

Edey definitely did NOT help his draft stock in this game...

He did for maybe the first five to seven minutes. Train fully derailed after that. Honestly if he made several of the shots he normally makes we are kinda in this. At least a prayer away

 

[BBG]

Maybe im wrong, but I fail to see how getting torched on the biggest stage will help much for next year

Because we were literally on the biggest stage... the margin means nothing. UCONN was just that much better all around.

 

[RDUBoiler]

I mean...they do this to everyone. No shame.

Oh, for sure. If anything, I'm looking ahead at this point. Just want to try to get out of there losing by less than 20.

 

[BoilerDeac]

why no 3 pointers like we used to? is it their defense?

Yes.
