I think I've watched more live TV in the past 3 weeks than I had in the previous 3 months, and though the tournament is over, there are some things for sure that I will gladly say goodbye to... the commercials.
"Don't let me goooooooooooooooo"
"What a pro wants, what a pro needs"
"Get back, get back, you don't know me like that"
About the only one I am not remotely sick of is the Arnold Schwarzenegger State Farm ad.

Seeing them listed like that, UConn thrashed some really good teams. They earned it
Phenomenal UConn performance the last 2 years. Really unprecedented this level of dominance every game. They’ve covered the spread in every NCAA tourney game the last 2 years.
They got athletes, they play smart, and have multiple ways to beat you.
Purdue rode their 1 dimensional team as far as it could take them.
Overall I’d say this tourney (outside Illini getting to E8) was one of the most boring ever. I don’t recall even one buzzer beater.

Just hearing the story of Hurley, I like him.
Seeing his facial expressions and overall antics make me not like him at all.
Grown men shouldn't act like that, ever. (Same goes for Underwood or whoever)

Danny Hurley is a great coach. If you don’t think so, just ask him. He’ll tell you while also telling you the world is out to get him.
They have a much better chance to be a Blue Blood then going in to oblivion. Six titles in 25 years. That is impressive. Especially when compared to the Big , which has one in the same time span.
Similar to our game - we lost the game in a 7 minute stretch to start the second half - it was over because of that stretch alone.
Outside of that stretch the game was tied - crazy, but that’s what UConn does. similar to what we would do to lessor opponents

If you want a good chuckle - go read the way too early top 25 on ESPN - ranking Purdue at 6 and UCONN losing their top 6 in the top 5.

Oh gawd a thousand times this...
Karaban will be back for UConn.
Castle only shot 28% from 3 this year. He might return. Clingan also possible.
Depending on how much those guys like college, want to go for a 3 Pete, and what they could be paid to stay another year I don’t think UConn will be that down.
Painter needs to go after an athletic wing with size. In the to early top 25 Purdue is ranked 6. There is not way they sniff 20 with the lineup they have them going in with. Loyer was and is not the answer for that team. Barto got it pretty much spot on. He said UCONN's guards would make the difference.Loyer ended with 0 points. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy

It is difficult to even think about rank now, as the portal madness is about to begin in full stride. As the page says: "way too early".

I respect his coaching ability, but he is a Grade A jerk. Despite his success, I’m not sure I’d want my son to play for him if he was an elite-level recruit. At the very least, I’d sure have to hold my nose and consistently ask my kid if he’s being treated in an acceptable manner.
Pretty much bulldozed the Big Ten, didn't they?
The thing about UConn is they don't stop. On offense they move the ball until they get a good shot, and they very rarely take bad ones. They don't commit many turnovers. On defense they pressure the ball, don't give up easy baskets and don't give you many second chance points.
Will be interesting to see what Purdue looks like next year post Edey.
I really like Smith but can he be your team’s alpha at 6’ 170 and without Edey consistently drawing double teams?
Heide and Colvin are plus athletes with size, maybe they each take a leap next year. And maybe Catchings makes an impact. But Loyer and TKR Don’t scare me at all.
BIG will be wide open next year. If we reload in the portal no reason we can’t compete again.

I'd go with the almost never called moving screen
I never want to hear Chet Holmgren sing again.

Way to early Top 25 means something even wilder now than it did 5 years ago.
