UConn leads 76-68 with 2.5 minutes left in the game.

That was not a good 4 minutes for Bama with 4 to play UConn leads 73-63. I think barring a collapse by UConn this one is over.

The big thing about UConn they just do not give you anything easy on the offensive end they make you work extremely hard for everything.

67-61 UConn at the under 8 timeout. This is a big 4 minutes if Bama has a shot.

UConn goes on another 8-0 run after Bama tied it at 56 to lead 64-56 timeout Alabama.

That was an impressive dunk by Nelson and it should have been a and 1 on Clingan.

Close @Jumper_DadUConn scores 7 straight after Bama cut it to 1 at 48-47 to lead 55-47 at the under 16 timeout.

I agree if they don't and the score is less than 5 points Bama will have a shot, but your scenario is more likely I would like to see a good game for 40 minutes.

UConn has to still feel pretty good they are up 4 with Alabama shooting 50% from the field and 72% from 3. There hope will be to continue to shoot it well, stay close or take the lead and the later the game gets the more pressure falls on UConn. Bama still has an uphill climb.

That may not seem like much but I think that was a great move by Oats to put Sears back in on the FT with two fouls and to get that last basket to cut it to 4. I think that was a big two. UConn leads 44-40 at the half.

This game is so much better viewing than the first game was. That was a snooze fest.

I figured as much since you ask the question but it is just 2-3 inch difference and also Fox, Maxey , and Monk are all the same size as Sheppard and Dillingham and as I said they both shoot better than Castle way better (20-25%) from 3 but also they shoot better from 2 as well. Castle's defense is much better, but that is due a lot to who is coach is.

UConn tightens up the defense and now lead 35-31 at the under 4 media timeout.

Probably Dillingham, Sheppard then Castle. He is playing well right now, but for the season he is only averaging 10.7 a game and does not have near the range that Sheppard and Dillingham do he only shoots 26% from 3. He is a better on ball defender.

How does Pat Adams get to officiate a Final 4 he is well past his best years. He always behind plays now and always calls something completely out of the blue at least once a game.

A good game so far tied at 28 at the under 8 timeout.

A very good 4+ minute span for the Crimson Tide between media timeouts as they outscored UConn 15-7 in that span to led 23-20 with 10:24 left in the first half.

13-8 UConn at the under 16 timeout.

Reds get back in the win column today with a 9-6 win over the Mets. The Reds will go for their 3rd straight series win tomorrow at 1:40pm. The Reds will go with Andrew Abbot on the mound. Go Reds!!

Final. Purdue moves to the title game on Monday vs. the Alabama/UConn winner. Purdue was in control for the entire game as the Wolfpack never led in the game.

This may be a Final 4 game but to me it is one of the most boring Final 4 games I can remember in a long while.

Purdue leads 47-38 at the under 12 timeout. This is key 4 to 5 minutes for NC State if they have a shot at pulling the upset.

NC State had their chance early in the 2nd half as Purdue went over 5 minutes without scoring the problem is the Wolfpack has went over 4 minutes without scoring themselves. The Boilermakers just scored 6 straight on back to back 3's to now lead 45-33 with 12:40 to play timeout NC State.

Purdue 35-29 at the half.

Since the Middlebrooks kid has come in for NC State, he has given Edey a lot more problems on offense than Burns has. It has allowed the Wolfpack to get back in this game after trailing by 12 they have it down to 5 at 30-25 Purdue with 3:24 left in the half.
