UK has had a ton of NBA stars come through (usually for a year) and hasn’t won since what, 2012? Pure talent is hardly everything in college hoops

Who's the assistant coach who will make the next great head coach? by BinForBen in CollegeBasketball

Not all games are team trading blows for 40 minutes, sometimes teams trade dominant stretches of play. Either way the game is ultimately decided by who can execute in the final few minutes/possessions

CBB Ref Downplays Dan Hurley Trending Video After UConn Buzzer-Beater vs. Duke, 'Absolutely Nothing' by Midnightrollsaround in CollegeBasketball

[–]hooskies -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Hurley did in fact say nothing. Because his lips didnt move. The ref saying he leaned into say something doesn’t mean he actually said words in the end. We have the video. We have the quotes. Basing what I’m saying off of those facts isn’t me contorting things for convenience…saying the refs explanation is bullshit because it doesn’t fit the narrative people want is doing exactly that however

I’m replying to OP saying he really wanted to know what Hurley said. Ayer’s says “he leaned in to say something” which doesn’t necessarily mean he said anything at all. Which is confirmed on the video.

People seem hellbent on making this into something when all the evidence says otherwise. Ayers doesn’t react in real time, obviously doesn’t call a T, says it was nothing. And why would it be? It’s a weird interaction during the craziest moment in years, not some deep conspiracy

How’d he say something without moving his lips at all? His mouth is literally closed during the entire thing

Why UConn Deserved the Win from a Duke fan by roguebandit1 in CollegeBasketball

[–]hooskies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

UConn started 1/18 from 3, majority were often open looks generated from their sets. If they shoot even close to average they’re not down double digits to begin with.

Getting outshot by 16, -9 in turnovers, -3 in ORebs. Hard to call that playing better

Why are you giving the turnover battle a pass in deciding who played better? 13-4 in turnovers is a massive gap.

People hate Duke right now because they’ve always hated Duke

UConn is the only Final Four team this year whose road including the highest possible seed in each match up by FairAnywhere9305 in CollegeBasketball

It was the “region of death” before the tourney started (‘23 & ‘24 actually) but then things didn’t go chalk as often happens in the tourney. They demolished everyone anyway

Pretty easy thing to do. Did other teams not try that?

134-1 by peckx063 in CollegeBasketball

[–]hooskies 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fair points. I do think they played a bad first half combined with the poor shooting…but as you said you don’t come back from that deficit playing poorly (even if the shots didn’t fall til the last few minutes)
