Most miserable sporting event in my life. Cool.

We need to see Big Red do the UCONN chant

sorry heels redd

I'll live. Cbb delivers every year.

2 straight years of just stomping every team they faced absolutely incredible

Too many boilermakers.

Pretty incredible 25 year run for UConn

same thing yesterday with the Women's final

If it makes you feel better, you guys didn't choke, you didn't embarrass yourselves, you didn't blow a winnable game.

Just ran into an absolute juggernaut that was not going to lose to anybody

Nobody has even come close to beating them in the post season in 2 years

Thanks Golden bears, all good. Just frustrating as a fan to watch that game. I wasn't talking ****, I honestly thought Purdue would prevail like they have all year against great teams.

That Hurley interview sounded kind of like "We ain't no Calipari/UK deal here." I love it ... apropos for Calipari attention whore move this weekend. Who will replace him? With some odds I would take Buzz Williams thinking the other major candidates won't happen.

GOAT Programs:

1. UCLA
2. UConn
3. UNC
4. UK
5. Duke
6. KU
7. IU
8. UofL

Purdue deserves to win a title, just bad timing having to run into this UConn team

No chance. That would incite a riot.

Yeah and it was no Duke, Florida, UNLV or UCLA returning virtual full teams with their repeats or near repeats. Sick.

Dude is back-to-back POY and scores 37 against the best team in America in the NCAA Finals yet can't play in the NBA?? Could be.

needs to watch tape of how the jokers exist out there while moving like they're playing in slippers i guess

Pretty sure they won every game on a neutral floor by double digits for 2 years. Only OOC loss in that time was at Kansas this year without Castle and banged up Spencer.

Nah. You had 7 3PA the entire game (3 were in garbage time) and at least 3 of those were tipped or hand right in the grill. The team that missed a lot of open looks was UConn. Crazy that they won by 15 shooting 27% from 3 with mostly great looks.

UConn is just unbelievably well coached. Everything they do is perfect even down to the little things like letting the ball bounce around after a Purdue made FG and letting 5 extra seconds tick off. They also never panic late in the shot clock and always seem to get great shots even under 5 seconds whereas most teams just panic and throw up some dumb mid-range shot. If Hurley had Purdue's squad, I'm positive they would've shipped at least 1 title these last 3 years.

Big East Tourney is neutral and they went out in the Semis last year and this year won, but only beat St John's by 5.

Yah, I'd say some team should take a chance on him a bit earlier than mocked. Just like out of HS where he was unheralded, you might just bink something.

Hurley press conference in 2020

“People better get us now. That’s all. You better get us now because it’s comin.”

I don't understand the mock drafts that all have him 20th or higher. Are they not watching the same games I am? This guy had 30 pts + 10 rebounds + almost every game of the tournament.

Sure his talent may not transition to the NBA , but he could also be the next Shaq or Jokic. Nothing is sure in the NBA, I see top 5 picks flame out all the time. No idea how you don't take a chance on him with a lottery pick.

Hurley on path to become one of the GOATs. This team is so incredibly well coached. It's like watching a clinic every time they play.

* OOC

Tough team to plan for with no prior experience and especially on short notice in preseason and postseason tourneys.

Yeah watching UConn on offense is like watching the later Jay Wright Nova teams but with NBA Athletes.

woke up this AM to watch the 2nd half. was told this would be an epic battle bt two generational teams

i was lied to

the BIG futility continues. now 24 straight years without a championship

w history as our guide, Purdue's next MM title game appearance will come in 2079
