    Hurley is the new era of college basketball coach. He embodies what it is to be a college coach in todays era. He just wins and wins in spectacular fashion. As @Hovadipo said, if they have any sense they will give him full reign (if they havent already). I will say that it will be hard to follow up 2 back to back championships. But Uconn is blessed to have a coach of his caliber.

    Edey getting Clingan into early foul trouble is about the only way I can see Purdue winning.   Could happen but UCONN is obviously the favorite. 

    I’ve said this to everyone. If Clingan stays out of foul trouble then, I believe UConn wins

    Alright who is everyone rooting for to make it to the championship? 
     

    I would love to see NC state make it, because their run has been insane. I really like Hurley as a coach and UConn is fun to watch.

    I find myself, rather disgustingly, rooting for Purdue today.  It appears my 7 year old son will win our neighborhood bracket challenge if Purdue wins the championship and UConn does not go to the championship game.  He picked all the games entirely on his own and is currently in 2nd place.  

    I am rooting for them too. The state of Indiana as a whole needs another title

    Yeah, but Clingan is not the focus of their offense. He doesn't have to beat Edey, just make him not his usual self. Karaban, Newton, Castle, and Spencer + Samson Johnson and a few other bench pieces are going to be able to get mismatches. Dont get me wrong, Purdue could win vs UConn, but I don't think UConn will rely nearly as much on Clingan to win as PU will on Edey 

    I don’t disagree at all. I just think since Purdue runs a lot of their offensive game through Edey, Clingan will be pushed around more than he is used to. I love UConn and Hurley, they are one of my favorites to watch outside of IU. Just comparatively, on what I’ve watched thus far in the tournament, Purdue ain’t messing around.

    I remember scoffing when @btownqb said that we should recruit Braden smith and he just had 14 points and 15 assists to help Purdue to the elite 8. 

    While they do have talent, I think above all they are well coached and have grit. They aren’t soft, they play smart, and play as a team.

    Saw Iowa State cut it to 3 and turned it back on just in time to see Shannon take an inbounds pass, simply run into a guy and get free throws. So lame. 

    Ya and they still can’t make em. 13 for 27 shooting 48 percent…yikes

    I’ve got 50 dollars to win 600 on this. They’ve been the best team all year with UConn joining the mix.

    Amazing, no one can get Edey in foul trouble.

    He’s smart around the rim. He plays in the worst officiated league in the nation, he’s figured it out. If they don’t get to the national championship I’ll be shocked
