    UConn is obviously the better team

    I don’t think Purdue has any chance to beat UConn

    Not unless Edey starts hitting shots or other players start hitting 3's. UCONN has been defending him well.

    Edey has been psyched out by the Clinken

    Def the better team. Purdue’s guards aren’t bad at all, but UConn so disruptive with their hard hedges. No looks whatsoever from the perimeter.

    Purdue is too reliant on Edey and they are predictable as a result. The other players don't even try to score on their own.

    What is the UCONN coach doing? Pushing his players while they are on the court? smh.

    UCONN plays such great defense and has such a smoothe, unselfish offense. They're a great team with a great coach.

    If the games the last two days proved anything, it’s that spots 2-8 on a team are more important than the best individual player. Clark and Edey are unicorns, but SC and UConn had rosters with more depth, length, versatility, and athleticism. Dominant defensively when they needed to be with scoring from all sorts of unexpected sources.

    Man, first it is the refs always trying to screw us. Now it is PURDUE!

    Why can't we get any justice anymore!?!;)

    Anyways, congrats UConn. Welcome to the club. Make yourself at home.

    Perdue's guards just looked so much smaller than the UConn guys...

    They definitely were. All in that 6’4” to 6’6” range. Long, athletic, skilled.
