Nah

Depends on how they call the game. If they let Edey play wrecking ball in the lane Purdue probably has a chance against anyone.

Both of those teams can beat UCONN. Anyone left can beat UCONN. They are the best team but they can be beaten. Hell, KANSAS beat them. KANSAS.

Creighton blew them out and then they lost to SETON HALL.

Kansas was better than both those teams when healthy

Knecht is the biggest difference for Tennessee this year. Baller.

Only way to stop Edey is to trap/double him at this level. Tennessee can do that effectively.

This was what Gonzaga did in the first half.

Tennessee doesn't even need to stop Edey.

They just need Knecht and one other guard (probably Ziegler) to be better than Purdue's guards.

Also don't see UConn losing to anyone as they're a buzzsaw barring them having an off night (like they did vs Creighton).

Thank God those losers from Gonzaga took a seat.

Uconn is about to slaughter another team on their way to back to back championships, but it's just a crap shoot guys.

It is a crapshoot. If it wasn’t’ 1 seeds would win all the time and there’d be no upsets.

They're just gonna strangle the life outta Illinois. Please don't let them kill you early

Hope their rapist channels his inner Big Ben and pins these huskies in a bathroom stall!!

You know it's a sad day when Kentucky fans are buying in on this cope too.

It’s a single game elimination tournament in which there are 68 teams participating and the preparation time between two games is shorter than any part of the season (excluding conference tournaments).

That doesn’t excuse the best teams losing early, but to act as if it’s the best way to deem a champion (it isn’t, it’s the most exciting, but not the best way to figure out the best team) while also saying it isn’t a crapshoot would be inaccurate.

You can't ****in miss gimmes dudes

A crapshoot implies a series of random events. If that was the case we'd have a few more double digit seed final fours.

I've been screaming this for days. Crazy amount of misses

I hope Bobby Hurley chokes on Christian Laettner's dick and dies.

Looks like Underwood has done his usual shit job of game planning. UConn will eat Illini alive in second half.

Illini need Terrence Shannon Jr to step up. Clingan is really giving him fits.

Illinois should give a thought to not driving at one of the best shot blockers in the country.

So you don't like the NBA but you're bitching about how shitty college basketball players are?

It's been an exciting NCAA basketball tournament really, but then I'll switch it to an NBA game and be immediately more wowed by the talent. Guys can actually make a shot, beat a guy off the dribble, and make a tough shot at the end of the shot clock.

When pronouncing "Domask" it's really quite important to emphasize the "k" on the end.

That'll do it. Illinois' coach didn't come up with anything at half other than continuing to drive at one of the best shot blockers in the country

NCAA basketball is a relative joke in comparison, but that's kind of obvious and goes without saying.

Illinois picked a bad time to stop making baskets.

Brutally cold.

Their greater problem is they are nowhere near good enough to even compete with UConn.

UConn is inevitable.

Wow

LMAO at this effort from Illinois, they stopped running back on defense a few minutes ago

It does make me happy knowing that even if Duke weasels into the Champ game they'll get absolutely mutilated by these guys.

They had open 3 after open 3 and missed all of them. They can't buy a basket at this point.

Illinois down by 30 and Damask trying to slowly back his guy in. Dumbass.

They need to just start bringing in guys off the bench and start launching 3's in hopes someone could get hot. No other chance at this point.

They gave up a few minutes into this half. It's long past over.

Coaches don't believe in math.

Terrence Shannon Jr averages 23.5 ppg.

3 points tonight.

An absolutely no show by one of the best players in the country.

Off to his court hearing in a few months.

2018 Nova wasn't this dominant. Who was the last team we've watched cuck the tourney like this? I'm blanking.

The amount of stupid fouls college guys commit is mind numbing. The reach ins for no reason, banging into a guy at full speed near half court and slamming into s guy setting a pick.

You might have to go back to the 70's and UCLA

There have been better teams by KenPom than 2023-2024 UConn but the competition has rarely been this bad. Most similar thing in my memory is the 2009 UNC just wiping everyone else in a similarly weak year.

2008 Kansas would beat UConn.

Purdue can beat UConn.

Duke can beat UConn.

Will they? Maybe not but UConn is not unbeatable.

These stupid ****s on Illinois are running down the clock like the are down by 3 and not 30. Scared shit to take a 3

2016 Villanova beat OU by 44 in the FF. I had forgotten that. LMAO

If I were them, I'd run the clock down as much as possible and get the **** out of there. They're gonna lose by 40 if they don't.

Or vice versa. I'm not terribly picky in this scenario.

Teams like KU and Creighton this year provided the script to beat them (draw Clingan out and hit open threes). Purdue might be the only team left capable of doing it though.

09 unc

Nah. Coaches would rather try to keep it less embarrassing than jacking threes and losing by 40+.

Actually uconn last year

2020 Jayhawks

U Conn's passing has been stellar.

Does it really matter whether you lose by 30 or 40?

You got gang raped in both cases, one by 7 guys and the other by 8 guys.

I'd rather not prolong the embarrassment in a game where my team gave up a minute into the 2nd half.

The alabama clemson game is actually pretty good to watch

Guard play. They are the masters of it.

Alabama is about to make the FF for the right to get crushed by UConn

Bama is on their shit. Clemson you are in real danger.

Only bright side of these games playing out this way is I potentially get to watch UConn cyborg obliterate the bama fanbase and then who knows from there?? I get to watch them eviscerate duke after row todd I might just cream myself.

Doesn't anybody use a hook shot anymore?

Sent from my SM-G991U using Tapatalk

Alabama can drill 3's for sure.

****, this Final Four means a lot to me. Never thought I’d see it. We need to pay Nate Oats whatever amount of money he needs to never leave.

He's about to be very, very well compensated

I'd imagine he's gonna be on the short list for KU whenever Self retires.

Kentucky try to poach him now that he has won something and is good enough for their fanbase?

I find it easier to be happy for Bama when their players aren’t delivering murder weapons

2008 UNC was on a roll until they ran into KU.

Problem is that there isn’t a 2008 KU team waiting for UCONN.

Everyone's playing for second.

Bama's got a tiny, one armed, reeruned puncher's chance vs UCONN because Bama will jack up like 50 threes. But they won't be able to do much on defense so they better hit about 30 of those aforementioned threes

LMAO

2023 UConn.

ROFL Homer turd

What a game between Vols/Boilers.

Edey is trash.

He's miles better as a college basketball player than anybody else on the floor in this game.

HE IS JUST TALL

An attribute that has long helped in basketball.

The inconsistency of foul calls or non calls is horrible.

Fun game to watch.

You need threes.
