Purdue has played a pretty good game so far, but I think the more it stays at a faster pace that they might struggle more.

Second chance points are killing Purdue.

UConn is starting to take control and pull away this is a big next 5 minutes for the Boilermakers.

Sorry I was away for a bit because for the first time in 420 days since my accident at school I have to get up and go back to work at Frederick Douglass in the morning to help with testing and helping students in danger of not passing. I am looking forward to it as it has been a long 14+ months since I last got up at 7 to go to school.  

UConn has the biggest lead at the under 12 timeout at 51-38.

I'm going to pull out a UK game rant - why no zone defense Purdue?

Don’t know if it’s just me but I think Edey is starting to wear out. The game has gotten to more of an advantage for UConn as the game has gone on.

Not sure where the walk was on the Edey basket?

Purdue has played too fast. They have not played any zone D. They are doing everything U Conn wants them to do.

I agree they only shoot 36% from 3 as a team and especially now with Spencer not in the game. He is the only one that plays that shoots better than 40%.

If this were UK playing like Purdue is, Cal would be getting reamed in this thread. Painter has been worthless in this game.

No idea why Purdue hasn’t tried playing zone defense. Would have probably been their best chance.

UConn with their largest lead of the night now at 17 at 59-42 at the under 8 timeout. This is looking to be yet another double digit win for the Huskies.

Yes he would and so should Painter as well. But I am sure they are Purdue fans like Kentucky fans that will say he cannot go out and play for them that the players have to perform on the court.

If Purdue could have won this game. Then I think UK would have had an outside shot of getting Hurley. Now with them about to be back to back champs. No way he leaves. He may use UK to get a big pay raise, but no way he leaves now. 

It is now 65-49 UConn with just 3:50 to play.
