This game has so many parallels to the women’s final. Two superstars (Clark and Edey) aren't enough to win it all. The benches of both SC and UConn are the difference. The benches of both Iowa and Purdue contribute virtually nothing. Both winners pulled away in about the second quarters after the superstars were unstoppable in the first quarters.
Hurley understands motion. I’ve wished forever that we could run an offense with constant movement like that. Impressive to watch.
UConn running away with it, but teetering on foul trouble. That is basically the only way Purdude can pull this out.
This has turned into a typical UConn beat down. It’s very impressive. Although Purdude is just one dimensional and when that dimension is neutralized then they are an average team.
For all of UConn’s greatness, and of course Hurley is part of that, there is something wrong with Hurley. I can’t quite say it in a PC way, but the man has some self control issues. Him stepping on the court, and pushing his own player - during the play of game - is something I’ve never seen on the D1 college level. It’s unacceptable and frankly he is a total clown. Shameful that he can’t get some self control up by 15 under three to go.
I almost went to a UConn home game last month, but it was senior day and they wanted $400+ for the last row seats. Maybe I should have gone.
