UConn has 3 guys moving on offense most of the time. Most teams have 1 guy trying to score on the clear out. It's fun to watch team basketball again

Game over Purdue. Thought you would do better.

 

[BBlock24]

UConn is a machine. Impressive how they’ve bottled up everyone not named Edey and even he’s been less effective in the second half.

 

[AirNeazy]

This half right here exposes why Edey won't sniff an NBA court.

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

Loyer and Jones have been erased from this game. Brutal for Purdue.

 

[foby]

Two things;

1. UConn is too good.

2. I hate all things UConn.

Purdue needs to keep racking up fouls on UConn and foul people out. Seems like their best chance at this point.

 

[Naborman88]

UConn proves once again that speed kills.

 

[CentralILLini]

Both UConn's key reserves have 4 fouls. Something to keep an eye on with three starters at 3 each.

Lol, this is just about over. Not sure its a problem.

 

[PNWIllini]

What does UCONN do when clingon gets his 4th here in a couple minutes. Painter gonna work for it and you know he'll get it

It didn’t matter when Clingan sat in the first half

 

[Illini8420]

UConn blowing it open as usual

NCAA needs to bring the tapes of UConn and Northwestern to a referee clinic that counts the number of illegal screens per game.

Reminds me of the old IU offense under Bobby Knight.

 

[Mistakenj]

I don’t get the people that wanted Purdue to win. I hope they lose by 35….their fans deserve it.

 

[Johnny Lawrence]

Friend at the game says it’s 65/35 Purdue fans. And he is a UConn blogger

People still blog?

UConn blowing it open as usual

Same pattern every game.

 

[Chad Fleck]

Well, I started rooting for Purdue.

Now I find it kind of hilarious that they are getting run.

NCAA needs to bring the tapes of UConn and Northwestern to a referee clinic that counts the number of illegal screens per game.

I noticed that too. Way too many moving screens. Clingan should be fouled out by now.

 

[LoveLovie]

So 30-0 run or not, does Uconn get it to 25?? ....Good news is we don't hear any more "Don't let me go" and "What a pro wants" commercials

 

[Gunner23]

UConn is ice cold from 3. If they were hitting at even an average rate, this is a blowout.

Talk about cold. I think that PU only has one made 3 tonight...

 

[FromTheLogo]

Size, screens, and shooting. Hard to stop.

 

[illinitiger]

UCONN free throw defense is so good Edey air balls one

If you look at PU shooting percentage in the second half it is around ours against UCONN

That's why everyone loves Hurley,...Elite...amazing coach...unbelievable swagger....head and shoulders above every other coach, incuding BU....did I say he makes me hurl????? And did I say I hate that guy???!!!

 

[Epsilon]

Why has PU been jacking so many midrange shots?

 

[One Man Fast Break]

Clingan looked like he was going to explode at that foul call. Both UConn bigs at four, but Purdue running out of time and it doesn't matter if UConn keeps scoring on their end.

 

[Champaign88]

Wow, what a stupid foul by Clingan. Literally the one sliver of hope for Purdue.

This half right here exposes why Edey won't sniff an NBA court.

Clingan may not either. Only 7 points and 2 boards. Edey winning the center battle, but UConn winning every other position & points. Just needs to get some muscle.
