Stage feels a little too big for Miami, unfortunately. No comeback tonight. What happened to the Canes crash the boards rebounding???

I was knee deep into some Coors but I swear (haven't checked box score yet) UConn had about 10 straight offensive rebounds at one point.

Madison22 Posted April 2, 2023 Report Share Posted April 2, 2023 Purdue isn't good enough to win a real national championship, so now they want to redefine what one is.

People getting all hot and bothered because of the flavor of the month. The tournament is a fickle girlfriend. Terri Moren's team was every bit as good as any of those Final Four teams this weekend and they had a player tweak a knee and had an off game and suddenly their year isn't as good. Dusty May had a heck of a year. Archie Miller and Tom Crean both did at one time too. Chasing the sexy hire doesn't always work. No Coach is perfect, Woody is the guy and we have put together tournament appearances. I am really interested in what we look like next year. There are things to like here and things to maybe improve. Woody is the guy so that topic isn't even worth having. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the players seem to love him and his results are trending up. He's figured out how to beat Turdue, which is more than we can say about the last two coaches. Maddening inconsistency of some of the players aside, I think Woody has earned a pass for now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddening inconsistency of some of the players aside, I think Woody has earned a pass for now. I agree. Woodson is the guy. Dusty May is in year 5 and took 4 years to get running. Woodson came in and went to the tournament in back to back years, that hasn't been done here in awhile. Woodson's first two years have not been perfect by any stretch of the imagination but we have seen some good things. Time to put the coach convo to be for awhile. We basically have NCAA free agency going right now and someone brought up replacing a Coach that had a key player go down and still managed 2nd place (tie) in conference and won a tournament game. I think we just need to zip it with the "I wish we had XYZ as coach" stuff. It isn't happening and serves no purpose right now. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FKIM01 Posted April 4, 2023 Report Share Posted April 4, 2023 Wow...that's two plus hours of my life I'll never get back. Not a very competitive game. Not particularly well-played. UConn doesn't look particularly impressive tonight but is still the far superior team and is just toying with SDSU. Sucks when a pretty unpredictable tournament yields such a snooze-fest for a championship game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUCrazy2 Posted April 4, 2023 Report Share Posted April 4, 2023 (edited) And now UConn has joined us with 5 titles...all since 1999. Nice run for them. I hope we get it figured out at some point, I'd really like to see another one. I was 8 in 1987, I barely remember the last one. ETA: And is it just me or does it seem like UConn is like an opportunistic school? They have been kind of meh, but they always seem to be ready to win one in a year like this where the "traditional" powers are all suffering from a down year?

IUFLA Posted April 4, 2023 Report Share Posted April 4, 2023 It was a snoozer of a game... I thought at one point we'd be seeing the 5th NCAA Championship game with a 20+ point margin of victory... 1990 UNLV by 30 over Duke 1991 Duke by 20 over the Fab 5 1969 UCLA by 20 over Purdue in the Boilers one and only Championship game appearance 😁 1968 UCLA by 23 over UNC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
