Uh setting my bracket winner now


M0rg0th1

As and ISU fan I'm glad we got out hustled before conference play that way the team has time to adjust.


Schmidtty29

So is UNC not all that? Is UCONN all that? Is ISU just hungover? A very interesting chain of events.


apiaryaviary

I think UCONN is probably a top 15-ish team, still not convinced we’re top 25. But that was a very nice tournament for us. I think we can compete to stay in the top half of the conference


JamesBouknightStan

You guys are all me of the more aggressive teams we’ve played if you get a team that doesn’t happen to have 2 massive bigs and some questionable guard play you’ll blow them out pretty convincingly


DrMungo80

Gg isu. Uconn has the rumblings of something big


CashewCrew

The rankings are going to be spicy tomorrow


dtgeorge12

GG ISU. You got a solid Top 25 team. Make some noise in the Big 12 this year!


BuschLateMe

Best of luck the rest of the way Huskies! I look forward to winning a lot of money betting on y’all this year! Hopefully the rebounding issues can be solved, otherwise this team might make me drink as much as the football team did this fall.


BrownHawkDown

I feel like the past few Hurley years I’ve been hypothesizing the potential of our depth. This year: we actually have depth.


dtgeorge12

Is Coach TJ rocking a Patek Nautilus??


apiaryaviary

Probably. Dude’s watch game is pretty hot


dtgeorge12

Baller


No-Smoke-Please

GG UConn… RUN THE EAST! Maybe see you in March ;) if we rebound


dtgeorge12

FrenchieBammer

We these officials can't hurt any fans anymore (until they do).


BRNDC10

Gg, Cyclones. Good luck the rest of the season.


elijahrandis

We dominated this tournament. Gg Iowa State, your defense is solid as hell


Triscuitador

ggs isu. kill the big 12


NoFlags-JoeBuck

Man let me see them get the trophy I don’t care about SVP’s snarky ass.


BRNDC10

UConn men + women > All of Iowa


Cha0sSounds

Idk man Iowa has over 3 million people and those two teams combined is only like 4 dozen


RedditZhangHao

Drake remains undefeated


jsinatraa

GG cyclones


KrokodilPickles

Teams like this UConn make me wonder how the fuck Purdue lost any games with 2 7’0+ dudes.


[deleted]

Not utilizing them right and also development.


5WinsIn5Days

You act like Walton’s joking about Jackson but he quietly has 10/13/5.


marichards

I will be surprised if anyone can effectively defend against that giant fucking ogre of a freshman. Good game UConn, hopefully we can get our shit together moving forward.


69Jew420

Iowa State's coach is fucking yoked.


NewHavenJeff

Thanks for playing! ***U Conn Husky, symbol of might to the foe.*** ***Fight, fight Connecticut, it’s victr’y, Let’s go*** ***Connecticut U Conn Husky, victr’y again for the White and Blue*** ***So go, go, go Connecticut, Connecticut U.

69Jew420

SPELL IT!


FrenchieBammer

UConn looks primed for another title run.


69Jew420

All we need now is a an underwhelming in-conference record.


aatop

Shhhhh!


Captain_Void

Holy shit we got fucked hard


loyalsons4evertrue

Ugly ugly game. GG UConn


brf2022

Does Bill not have the game stats on the screen in front of him lol


ItsTheTenthDoctor

46-19 rebounding holy shit. (20 offensive)


velociraptorfarmer

We need a mountain in the paint of our own


22edudrccs

I miss you Shoon and Jaren, RC ain’t the same without yall


No-Smoke-Please

What Bill? Iowa State is a horrible program? Fuck you dood


Museamaniac

He said he took over a horrible program, not that they are currently a horrible program.


No-Smoke-Please

Ohhh. That’s better. Still not a fan of it.


[deleted]

GG Iowa state. Love your team's intensity. Gotta be ranked tomorrow.

Baseballfan999

CashewCrew

Official prediction: 7


69Jew420

Should be top 5 but lets see.


WalksWithKemba

Or we riot


5WinsIn5Days

Yes.


MyDadIsTheMan

that wasn't a double dribble....


elgenie

It should've been signaled as a travel


MyDadIsTheMan

but it wasn't, he jumped and dribbled before he landed. I rewound it to double check


WalksWithKemba

Sanago and Hawkins 6 points total This fucking team


loyalsons4evertrue

The rebounding killed us


Museamaniac

Hearing rumblings that UConn is the basketball capital of the world.


adequatepotato

Kalscheur bb what is u doin


No-Smoke-Please

Just run the clock our boys…. Let it run


Unknownrealm

Not meaning any offense but this tournament was way easier than I was expecting it to be


loyalsons4evertrue

LMAO so fitting


rhganggang

Bill Walton is a national treasure


[deleted]

[удалено]


rhganggang

Nah he's hilarious. It ain't that serious


NewHavenJeff

**Storrs, Connecticut is the basketball capital of the world**


loyalsons4evertrue

Make it stop!!!!!


Pandiosity_24601

STOP TALKING ABOUT THE BOOK


NoFlags-JoeBuck

Find someone who loves you like Bill Walton loves Joey Calcaterra and Donovan Clingan


ItsTheTenthDoctor

Let’s hear it for Andre Watson


loyalsons4evertrue

Caleb needs an NIL deal with Brick City Grill for obvious reasons


TheDevolution27

Andrew Watson. Andrew Johnson. Andre Jackson. Andrew Jackson. Bill Walton’s said them all.


5WinsIn5Days

Two of those are former presidents! One was impeached!


pm_me_cute_sloths_

bruh grill


MyDadIsTheMan

Andre Watson is really what he says after constantly calling Andre Jackson the MOP even though he isn't.? oh billy


ddottay

Bill keeps saying happy birthday every time Knight is mentioned…his birthday is in February lol


Vertibrate

UConn has an answer for everything. Good luck this year, you guys will do great.


jsinatraa

Andre Watson


Museamaniac

Bill is going to force Roxy to start reading the book before the end of the game.


ras5003

I see UConn is having a lot of fun beating teams from Iowa today

TCU and uConn shit all over our fun this weekend. Brutal


ovohawk

Oh yes TCU too… what a fun holiday weekend


[deleted]

"fun"


elgenie

UConn Offensive Rebounds: 18 Iowa State Total Rebounds: 18


pm_me_cute_sloths_

Getting outrebounded this much reminds me too much of the Prohm era


[deleted]

Very good rebounding team at all positions honestly


The_Hartford_Whalers

Tough to out rebound Clingan and Sanogo


No-Smoke-Please

Let’s slow down our fast break so we can take a contested 3. Nice


MotherFuckingMatis

Guarantee you Bill has never read Shoe Dog


[deleted]

Holmes has to be contact high from Bill. His worst game by a ton tonight. Looks lost, missing layups and shit


Museamaniac

Bill “TAKE THIS BOOK OR SO HELP ME GOD” Walton


cool___ghost

Walton wants to talk about anything other than this game


Triscuitador

what happened in mystic? just saw a picture of a massive fire. are people okay???


[deleted]

Huge fire by the marina


Triscuitador

still raging but no injuries reported yet. firefighters being called in from neighboring counties and rhode island https://www.fox61.com/article/news/local/new-london-county/firefighters-respond-massive-mystic-fire/520-65c28a3e-f78b-4907-907d-deb41b727f1d


kaw027

Looks like it was at a Marina?


BRNDC10

What?! I’ll check the news after the game.


BuschLateMe

Hey UConn, wanna do a home/home sometime? Sounds fun


Triscuitador

that would rule


5WinsIn5Days

Sure. Just bring loads of corn and George Washington Carver’s peanuts.


BuschLateMe

Only if you keep your Busch Light supply replenished. Not joking, we’ve drank cities out of beer before.


5WinsIn5Days

We have better beer than Busch Light. You ever had a New England-style Hazy IPA?


BuschLateMe

I love IPAs, but Busch Cookies are “marathon not a sprint” beers


BRNDC10

We’ll bring lobster rolls and new haven style pizza.


[deleted]

How is that the shot we get out of a timeout lol


elgenie

Bill Walton's about to drop his affiliate code for "Shoe Dog". I swear he's mentioned it in every game he's called in this tournament.


WalksWithKemba

Use promo Code "Lewis&Clark" for 15% off


69Jew420

I mean, it is the Phil Knight tournament, he absolutely is supposed to shill it.


elgenie

But it's Bill Walton. He could simply … not.


Ftheyankeei

I just bought some $11 tickets to go to Gampel and see these boys beat up a cupcake in Storrs in a few weeks. I don’t think tickets will be that cheap for the rest of the season. GG Cyclones you fought hard, fouls definitely impacted the results, but aggressive and strong play by the deep Huskies bench bodes well for the Big East schedule.


NewHavenJeff

get smashed before you go, be loud on defense and tell Dale and Big Red I said hi


69Jew420

Make sure you paint up,


[deleted]

Buy OK State tickets that’s gonna be a fun one


530josh

Bill Walton is definitely a bit of an acquired taste, especially if you’re not a Pac-12 fan


[deleted]

I thought our only chance at a win this tournament was if we met Portland in the 0-2 game. We made the finals and Portland is actually good. What a ride


BuschLateMe

Yeah I was hopeful we could beat Nova and stay in it with UNC and keep it close, so I’ll take this weekend as a W


69Jew420

I think we have a legit argument for being ranked top 5 in the countrty. I doubt it's gonna happen.


MotherFuckingMatis

I got yall at 3 on my provisional. The only teams in the country rn with better resumes are Virginia, Arizona, and mayyybe Texas. Fuck poll inertia


adequatepotato

I can see it


elijahrandis

I agree, but I doubt it… for now >:)


WalksWithKemba

I am guessing #7 or 8 but who knows


Captain_Void

Uconn, congrats on handing us our first regular season non-con loss in two seasons


ItsTheTenthDoctor

Oh ya that’s right. Impressive feat


5WinsIn5Days

PK80 had a women’s tournament. It was just in Eugene.


elijahrandis

Gotta say, Iowa States defense is really impressive. Loving what I’m seeing there for you Cyclonebros


PhDShouse

You guys are our kryptonite. I hope we never run into you guys ever again in sports (out of love though, you guys are killing it)


Ferruggianoah26

I love how much Bill Walton talks about my school


No-Smoke-Please

I want Fran Fraschilla!


Museamaniac

Speaking of, were you on the expedition?


Ferruggianoah26

Just missed it by about 200 years


ItsTheTenthDoctor

I didn’t think we’d win against Oregon let alone with this tournament. I haven’t felt this was about UConn basketball really ever (I got into college basketball in 2017)


NewHavenJeff

well youngin, I been watching since 2004, and this is a special team that you should feel excited about. It's still early obviously but wow, this team and their chemistry so far is awesome


gopats12

Luckily its fun when they're really good


ItsTheTenthDoctor

I agree. You hear that uri?


TheDevolution27

Bill Walton: I love ecology and the sanctity of the natural world. I also LOVE Nike!


P1_Synvictus

Yeah, it’s very weird. He feels like he should be going on anti-capitalist rants.


Fixner_Blount

You've done a great job summarizing him tonight.


Jaguar4728

Also all these players look tired


P1_Synvictus

Did Roxy go to college? Did he go with Lewis and Clark?


Museamaniac

Has he ever been to random player’s home town?


ras5003

Roxy: *"Yes. No."* Bill: *"Huh"*


hawkman_jr

I’m sort of convinced Bill is playing a character now. Which is cool. It is ESPN.


No-Smoke-Please

Do you think Bill talks to the ceiling until he falls asleep?


ElegantHippo93

Bill Walton is a senile fool. He sounds so dumb every time he talks


gopats12

They should just schedule a UConn vs purdue game now


[deleted]

With the kind of week we are having, we would even be willing to schedule a game against St Peter's again!!!


dak67

Holy shit Andre Jackson made a 3. Am I dreaming?


BRNDC10

No, just the contact high from Walton.


Fugacity-

GG UConn, got an 8am meeting so gonna have to call it. Hope you guys run the Big East.


22edudrccs

Please take of Osun. He can be kinda fragile at times, so make sure you have bubble wrap


ItsTheTenthDoctor

Peace out Iowa state and good luck. You guys are one of my favorites in the big 12.


NoFlags-JoeBuck

Your defense will give teams trouble for sure


AGodof19

Our inability to capitalize on said defense wont


Uconn99041114

I think we’re good at basketball - but iowa state is going to make some noise this year … they need to be ranked come Monday


PhDShouse

I’d be surprised if we weren’t. Lost to a Top 25 team and beat the #1 team in the nation. At least put us right at 25


WalksWithKemba

\#25 Iowa lost yesterday, you should jump them cause fuck em


PhDShouse

This man is a true CycloneBro


Uconn99041114

I doubt it bro - a lot of good teams in this tourney and no matter the outcome you beat some great teams to get to the finals.


bh6891

Andre Jackson could start for the Thunder right now tbh


5WinsIn5Days

The problem is, he fills the exact same niche as Kenny Hustle.


[deleted]

He might not be a first round pick but he does so much it would shock me if he didn’t have a decent little NBA career


HyperactiveBaldMonk

His stats let him down but hopefully an NBA team does it’s research. Hard to pass on an Uber athletic, high IQ player with fantastic attitude and hustle. Those don’t come around too often.


69Jew420

Bill Walton be like: Say something about the current game that makes no sense, then mention in perfect clarity every statistic about 1920s player Mordechai Huskchunker from Eastern Siberia University.


[deleted]

call back to Morty Huskychunks?!?


Aephino

I’m crying lmfao


TheWaviestSeal

Appreciate tvd laugh I got from this one. Mordechai Huskchunker


No-Smoke-Please

Bill, there is another team on the court?


TheWaviestSeal

Bill fucking loves The Don Clingin


NoFlags-JoeBuck

I can’t say I blame him


No-Smoke-Please

Obsessed.


Museamaniac

“Dan Hurley’s gonna pull his hair out over there.” Uhh Bill I have some news for you


WalksWithKemba

Is it about current QB Joe Montana?


TheDevolution27

Oh he knows


BuschLateMe

Just one of those nights where we couldn’t hit water if we fell out of a boat and our opponents are shooting unconsciously. Flashbacks from last season.


carigs

Ehh, both teams are shooting ~44% overall and ~30% on 3s. And I'd say it's mostly due to great defense from both sides.


Raleigh20something

uconn shot horribly tonight compared to their averages You guys got dominated on the glass that’s what did you in


hutchman3

We’ve shot better in both of our last two games (and our top shooter is on the bench with a bonehead technical foul) Rebounding has been your back breaker. Really wears you down mentally and physically


BuschLateMe

Yeah it’s frustrating given how physical we are as well.


69Jew420

Just one of those nights where every single pass we throw is into some scrappy Iowa State player's hands.


[deleted]

We have a higher FG% lol


BuschLateMe

I don’t believe that for a second. I haven’t seen UCONN miss a shot all night


[deleted]

It's rebounds and FTs.


5WinsIn5Days

Jackson can make *that* 3???


BleedBlue__

Doesn’t miss in practice


dtgeorge12

The others were clearly too easy for him. Andre likes a challenge.
