Men's NCAA title game

Dave- my apologies. I should simply have said Purdue had the best player,
and that's it. The point is that it was basically 5 v 1. Edey must have felt a
bit like Wilt did, I would say

No apologies necessary. Just happy to talk about UCONN and the tournament a bit.

Edey was amazing, and I think this game might have helped his draft stock a bit.

I was super-impressed how he was able to get both of UCONN's big men in foul trouble.

I think one of the biggest concerns about Edey is big fish, small pond syndrome. He was never really tested one on one on the interior, with anybody his size, or at least close to his size.

I think Clingan will be an elite defender in the NBA, and he is known specifically for being a banger who doesn't get into foul trouble because of his positioning and quickness. Edey figured Clingan out somehow.

Luckily UCONN had another bigger body in Samson Johnson to swallow up some of those fouls, and keep UCONN from having to double-team Edey with smaller guys.

Unfortunately for Purdue, they couldn't figure out UCONN's perimeter defense, which made them settle for contested 2's and missed 3's.

Womens Final and Mens Final..... the two best players made it to the final game only to lose to the 2 best teams. Nuff ced.

Funny how that worked in both tournaments

A great example, especially to kids and students - the team is the thing!

In this day and age of NIL, I love seeing complete teams like UConn and South Carolina be the victor over the star led team.

Even Michael Jordan didn't win it all until he got Scottie Pippen, Horace Grant and a deeper bench.
