We've made it to the final game. Looks pretty obvious that we ended up with the two best teams in college basketball. Should be a fun game.

UConn is a 6.5 favorite.

I actually like Purdue in this game even though logic says take UConn.

Healthy Houston v UConn would've been the ideal matchup in my opinion but I'll take this over what we had last year

Is this an unusually late game time this year? 8:20pm?

I don't know....but it seems dumb to not start at 7:30

Purdue a one-man team.

Meaningless factoid: There were more white players in the 2 startling lineups tonight than there were in the 1966 championship game.

Hurley complains every call that doesn't go his way.

Second half will turn in which coach is better at adjusting

Purdue has to like the pace of that first half. They've successful turned this into a halfcourt game. If they can hit more shots in the second half, they can win this.

This is a danger zone for Purdue. UConn looks poised to go on one of their 20-5 runs where they just run away from teams.

Yeah, I didn't think that guy had that in him. Unfortunately, that's about Purdue's only field goal of the second half so far.

I don't know if a healthy Houston would have done any better. UConn is a buzzsaw.

UConn has been the best team in college basketball all year. They're just really damn good.

You'll think you're in the game and they'll bury you in about three minutes.

Hurley did an incredible job of constructing a championship roster that can play the style of basketball he loves to coach.

And there was one five-star recruit between these two teams.

21 Bu team handles this UConn team. And I'm about as far from a homer as it gets on here as most of you know
