Re: 2024 NCAA/NIT Post Season Tournaments - All Things
What was fascinating was how good UConn guards were on both defense and offense. This was masterful display of the UConn's staff's understanding of how to play Edey and limit the three point shooting of Purdue. Purdue guards did not measure up UConn's and they scored a combined 17 points. That does...

Just a great win by UConn and Dan Hurley. He built a balanced team centered around Clingan and beat a team that was essentially a one man show. Maybe next a trifecta?
