South Carolina is a lot bigger and a lot more athletic.

I miss having the hope that this year we might be good. We were never consistently good but damn it at least we were sporadically good. With Tepper we just fuging suck.

I do think the two best teams are facing off for the title. Kinda feels like '05 with UNC vs. Illinois though I honestly think both of those teams were better. But I do think UConn is 10-12 points better than Purdue. I think they're better everywhere.

Is this the return of the old school "5"? The two teams in the title game are driven by old school 5s. These guys aren't highly sought after by the NBA anymore but they can dominate college ball. That's like the best case scenario if you're a college program. We can throw NIL money at you and the NBA isn't beating down your door. Give me all the old school bigs and undersized shooters I can get.

In Tepper's mins everything before him was trash. He was going to take this team to the top of the NFL and make us forget about all that mediocrity. Fast forward a few years and here we all are reminiscing about the gold old days of "mediocrity".

The difference in athleticism between Edey and Clingan is very obvious but how the fug are you 7'2" and only got three fuging rebounds???

His last three scores have probably been travels.

Sears is playing his ass off. I think he's getting away with quite a few travels in the process but the kid is playing his ass off.

Make that 8. UConn is just the best team in college ball by a wide margin. I honestly don't think anyone beats them outside of them having an off night and you having an on night. I mean, Bama has been red hot from three and yet UConn has felt in control of this entire game. This was the one game Carolina lost this year that I was like... fug, we need a lot of luck to beat that team. They beat us by 10 or 12 and we didn't play bad. They were just legit 10 or 12 points better.

Just like that UConn is back out in front by 6.

UConn might be in trouble. The Bama hillbilly is getting it going. He's only been seen against UNC and now again tonight.

That was a really bad over the back call

But Bama is hot and yet they're still in the verge of being down double digits. That's just how good UConn is.

Bama's ability to get hot is just unreal. They're not very good. But holy poo they can get hot and when they get hot they can hang with anybody.

Hell, that wasn't even "recent". Our "recent" high point was Cam's return game. Hell, it's the only high point we've had in years. That was the only game of the Tepper era where we could reasonably think that maybe we'd found something to turn the corner. *Sorry, I was thinking all the way back to the 2015 NFC Championship Game. I forgot Cam's comeback game was against Arizona too.

Imagine bumping a thread to laugh at someone but actually quoting a post from someone talking about a different player and saying something that's actually spot on.

8-11 from three yet you're still down four at half. If UConn just stops jacking threes they'll dominate. Something about these three point shooting teams just lulls you into playing their game and trying to match them at it. If I'm UConn's coach st half I'm just laying into them telling them to not fuging pull an RJ Davis. fug it if they hit threes. Just play your game.

Oh wow. That's a horrific call. That's a walk and the ref just anticipated foul.

Bama is hanging tough but being tied when you're 6-9 from three means you're a law of averages gut check away from getting dominated.

UConn is just being smarter than Carolina was. They understand their advantage on the low block and they're going to it rather than just settling for jacking threes.

Purdue's only hope is if Bama can get hot and knock off UConn because UConn has the one guy who can decently match up against Edey and UConn is just flat out better across the board at every other position.

Trimble and Cadeau were two of our best players in the first half and hardly played in the second half. I really don't know what Hubert was thinking.

We win that game if Hubert has the guts to tell RJ to stop fuging shooting. Drive but stop shooting threes.

Good news for Bama, they're up 3. Bad news for Bama, they're 5-7 from 3 and only up 3.

That "screen" was a straight up lead block.
