Congratulations to Dan Hurley and the UConn Huskies for their 75- 60 win over Matt Painter and his Purdue Boilermakers. The Huskies become back to back NCAA National Champions. It was a great game to watch. It was literally point for point for the first half. The UConn game plan and the incredible execution of that plan began to take its toll on Purdue in the second half.
The plan, shut down the Boilermaker players on the perimeter and make Zach Edey take the game on his shoulders. It seemed like Purdue had no answer to what UConn was doing. Credit to Edey; he finished the game with 37 points, 10 rebounds, and 2 blocked shots.
In this day and age it was great to see 2 great teams and 2 great coaches go out and play the game as it was meant to be played in a competitive gentlemanly manner. It was a real treat for this old b-ball fan to watch.
