for a bud any day.
This just seems to be what UConn does. The other team falters at some point, but they just keep going and then boom, up by 16.

I've watched like 5 UConn games this year so obviously I'm an expert.

Purdue was shooting 46% at half. Down to 41% now.

I keep trying to figure out how UConn keeps getting all these offensive rebounds.

They’re wearing down Purdue. I don’t think they’re obvious about it but they have been 100 percent doing rope-a-dope for the whole win streak- it’s why they always have a rough first ten minutes and then run away with it.

Airballing a free throw pretty much sums up this game for Purdue.

Edey should have to run a suicide (do they still call them suicides?) every time he gets the ball in the post and drops it below his letters. Deep post, not high post.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
Clingan looks so good.

Trying to feed Edey too much. They had a man in the corner on that scramble play, instead feed it to a double teamed Edey for a travel.

I didn’t think UConn would be able to do their second half destruction on Purdue but this is a pleasant surprise. Like, I thought they would do well but I didn’t even expect a ten point lead, let alone a 16 point lead on track to make it look like an early postseason game. Purdue isn’t sucking, UConn is just that good

All three games other team shot 50%+. UConn's like the ocean, they keep advancing and advancing and before too long you're neck deep and SOL.

And it looks even worse if we look at the percent for the players not named Zach Edey.

E:8-24 in case anyone was wondering.
