National Title Game (OU SUCKS!)

[2003TexasGrad]

Damn the starting lineups are more White than I expected.

 

[2003TexasGrad]

This seems pretty even early.

 

[2003TexasGrad]

Edey has someone his own size to deal with but has done well. UCONN finding ways to score.

 

[2003TexasGrad]

Edey gets the advantage over Clingan but it's a battle.

 

[Horns365]

I think Eddy’s really showing he almost all of Purdue’s points. Seems to be getting everything he wants.

 

[Horns365]

Hurley throwing tantrums like an infant. Can’t stand that about him.

 

[Horns365]

Block fest!

 

[2003TexasGrad]

Edey again. He just might be the difference in this game.

 

[Horns365]

Edey again. He just might be the difference in this game.

It feels like Purdue is up by 10. But no.

 

[2003TexasGrad]

These teams are like a mirror image of eachother.

 

[Horns365]

UConn’s bench is like the lady SC bench. That will probably be the difference. I said it felt like Purdue was up by ten, but Diarra has 7 off of the bench already. That’s the difference.

 

[Horns365]

Hurley is a total clown.

 

[2003TexasGrad]

Good D by Clingan.

 

[Horns365]

Good D by Clingan.

Clingan is a boss.

 

[2003TexasGrad]

I feel like Edey has the skill to get Clingan into foul trouble. That could make a difference down the stretch.

 

[Horns365]

Hurley pantomiming a flop.

Could be but the UConn starters have three fouls total.

 

[2003TexasGrad]

Anyone else watching this? Do I need to diss Dawn Staley or hwut?

 

[2003TexasGrad]

Welp. It's UCONN at the half!

 

[Horns365]

I don’t think so. I’ve be dissing Hurley for 20 min to no avail.

 

[Horns365]

Welp. It's UCONN at the half!

They’re going to stretch that and win by 12-15.

 

[2003TexasGrad]

They’re going to stretch that and win by 12-15.

I think that's bold but maybe. I feel like Purdue still has the edge inside and if they can start hitting from 3 they have a chance. I'm pulling for UCONN personally. Sorry Drew.

 

[2003TexasGrad]

Bench points are in UCONNs favor so you're onto that.

 

[Horns365]

Purdude is like the male version of Iowa. It’s all about one player. That player is dominant and largely unstoppable. But it’s not enough.

Purdude can’t get the three off because their guards are short and the UConn guards are tall. Since they aren’t collapsing on Edey they’re preventing any open looks from three. UConn is basically asking Clingan to try to limit Edey. And he’s doing ok. Plus bball is a math game, UConn is willing to give Purdude 55% of twos as long as they can shoot 35% from three and win the rebounding battle.

Offensive rebound led immediately to a UConn three.

Size difference between guards leads to an easy layup by UConn.

 

[Horns365]

Oh sh*!

 

[Horns365]

I’d give Heide more minutes!

 

[2003TexasGrad]

Nice analysis while I ate my wings. Great observations!
