When Reagan was shot by John Hinckley…. yep saw it on tv in junior high school. That was a decade before OJ. These puppies really have no understanding of anything before 2000. They think we were all wearing loin cloths and believed the sun went into hiding 12 hours a day 😂

Purdue needs 3s. So they’re baiting them to go inside for 2s defending Edey with a small. This is where the boxscore will deceive. Hurley has extinguished 3p looks

UConn has no weaknesses. And you’re forced to defend all 5 guys repeatedly.
No resting bc all 5 are involved in the action every time. And all 5 make the right reads. You can hang with these guys for 20 min. Not 40

The last two finishes at the rim by UConn’s guards around Edey, from Spencer and Newton, were unbelievable. It’s another reason why beating this team appears impossible. You get them in situations were you flip the probability to a miss and it’s a make 🤦🏽‍♂️

Wasn’t crazy about the call but when Clark missed the FT, giving UConn a chance to rebound and tie after this, was that also ESPN’s fault too?

NC State smoking these point-blank shots bc they fear Edey. Gotta say F it and go strong and force him to contest. Their hesitancy has translated into a self-check

Keep DJ Burns high post. Having him low bails out Edey. Don’t pressure Burns high post he’s gonna dissect you with the pass if you run your splits and exchanges. Might not be enough anyway but it’s your best chance at offense. Force him out a step further, get behind it

What I really like about Clark is if you run with her she’ll dime you up. Doesn’t always have to be a throwahead. She slows a count to let one trailer fill on a basket cut and the other to fan out weakside. You’re spread out. Can’t defend all space and at her mercy

Pardon this water is wet tweet: Social media is the pits. Only here can you find folks chiding Musselman for leaving Arkansas for So Cal. Despite the nonsense you hear about California, if you think it’s a debatable you’ve never left the house. 😂

It was every women’s basketball fan’s birthday, Christmas, graduation, April’s fool’s wish granted: Iowa. LSU. The rematch.

Another heavyweight showdown, a good game between proper rivals. Wonderful theater.

But mostly: Greatness.

Caitlin Clark.

If UConn runs thru the Final 4 like it has the rest of the tournament and go back to back, it’s fair to discuss where this streak ranks all time bc it’s a really small list. It’s not just that they win but how. most potent two-way team I’ve seen in a loooong time
