Purdue definitely looks like the only team who could possibly challenge them at the moment. Edey vs. Clingan would be quite the individual matchup.
Saturday Night Games Thread
- Thread starter the nail at the foul line
- Start date
My slight worry was that we saw Illini commit two fouls out of frustration and one was a somewhat dangerous foul on Clingan. And uconn can't lose him.
This was such a slapping that you could tell Illini players were getting pissed off, and not in a good way.
Smoked a Tim Duncan led Wake Forest team in the E8 in about 96.
I really hope I don't have to cheer for Purdue... Absolute phonies IMO. Edey gets the most kind whistle in the game. They win on attrition and FTs. But if it's vs UConn go Big Ziti.
That was a fun one!
How does UConn stockpile on quick/sizable guards every year? Where do they find these guys? I don’t keep up with UConn recruiting
I don't know, but if I was going to approach recruiting, I'd bring in guys that have little NBA upside and bring them along with the best proven Xfers I could get each year. Don't need guys that can compete with NBA quality talent, don't need guys that project to be NBA All-stars to compete in college, they won't be that good in the 1 year they play for you.
Edit at least until a culture is developed that retains players. Then maybe add in some of the best freshmen you can get, 1 or 2 a year.
Someone needs to offer Dan a huge amount of money if UCONN can’t keep him.
No doubt they’re punks for that. Just not a huge fan of one of their players.
Agreed, start bringing in more 3/4 star developmental guys. Maybe a couple 5s sprinkled in, reverse of what we’re doing now.
Unfortunately, player development is not something Cal is very good at.
Player development takes a lot of individual work by the player who wants to get better and a coaching staff willing to spend the time in the gym to help that player. (Think Rick Pitino's staff required individual workouts with every player).
Cal isn't going to spend his time doing that and obviously neither is his staff.
Recruiting 5 star freshmen gives Cal an ongoing excuse to NOT build a roster along with not having to work hard on player improvement.

I want Alabama to win. Not that they can beat UCONN. A team as helter skelter as they are can get hot and maybe win. Do not want 2 ACC schools.
Looks like Clemson is going to be allowed to foul nonstop. This is the kind of officiating that’s usually Bama’s kryptonite, unfortunately.
Knock down Bama, no foul.
Shefflin, I don't know how to spell it, just tackles who's near.

Dan Hurley seems like a fun coach to play for. Love the post game celebration, those players are having a blast. That’s what it should be.
He’s a psychopath. But so was Rick Pitino in the early days.
So is Cal. I mean the amount of yelling and screaming he does on the sidelines is ridiculous. Hurley seems to know when to use it. Cal? Not so much.
Why is Nelson playing with 2 fouls in the first half? I thought that was illegal.😁
Bama guy barely hiton layup no call. Clemson guy next play barely touched foul called.
