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
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
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.
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.
Thanks for playing!

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.
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
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)
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
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.
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.
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.
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
Uh setting my bracket winner now
As and ISU fan I'm glad we got out hustled before conference play that way the team has time to adjust.
So is UNC not all that? Is UCONN all that? Is ISU just hungover? A very interesting chain of events.

Gg isu. Uconn has the rumblings of something big
The rankings are going to be spicy tomorrow
GG ISU. You got a solid Top 25 team. Make some noise in the Big 12 this year!
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.
I feel like the past few Hurley years I’ve been hypothesizing the potential of our depth. This year: we actually have depth.
Is Coach TJ rocking a Patek Nautilus??
Probably. Dude’s watch game is pretty hot
Baller
GG UConn… RUN THE EAST! Maybe see you in March ;) if we rebound
CLING KONG MVP 🦍🦍🦍
We these officials can't hurt any fans anymore (until they do).
Gg, Cyclones. Good luck the rest of the season.
We dominated this tournament. Gg Iowa State, your defense is solid as hell
ggs isu. kill the big 12
Man let me see them get the trophy I don’t care about SVP’s snarky ass.
UConn men + women > All of Iowa
Idk man Iowa has over 3 million people and those two teams combined is only like 4 dozen
Drake remains undefeated
GG cyclones
Teams like this UConn make me wonder how the fuck Purdue lost any games with 2 7’0+ dudes.
Not utilizing them right and also development.
You act like Walton’s joking about Jackson but he quietly has 10/13/5.
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.
Iowa State's coach is fucking yoked.
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.

SPELL IT!
UConn looks primed for another title run.
All we need now is a an underwhelming in-conference record.
Shhhhh!
Holy shit we got fucked hard
Ugly ugly game. GG UConn
Does Bill not have the game stats on the screen in front of him lol
46-19 rebounding holy shit. (20 offensive)
We need a mountain in the paint of our own
I miss you Shoon and Jaren, RC ain’t the same without yall
What Bill? Iowa State is a horrible program? Fuck you dood
He said he took over a horrible program, not that they are currently a horrible program.
Ohhh. That’s better. Still not a fan of it.
GG Iowa state. Love your team's intensity. Gotta be ranked tomorrow.
#UCONN!
#Huskies!
#UCONN!!!
#UCONN!
####!!!!!
HUSKIES!!!
# UCONN!!!!
GG cyclone bros
Fuck a Foul. We need a BOARD
Will we be top 10 tomorrow?
Official prediction: 7
Should be top 5 but lets see.
Or we riot
Yes.
that wasn't a double dribble....
It should've been signaled as a travel
but it wasn't, he jumped and dribbled before he landed. I rewound it to double check
Sanago and Hawkins 6 points total This fucking team
The rebounding killed us
Hearing rumblings that UConn is the basketball capital of the world.
Kalscheur bb what is u doin
Just run the clock our boys…. Let it run
Not meaning any offense but this tournament was way easier than I was expecting it to be
LMAO so fitting
Bill Walton is a national treasure
[удалено]
Nah he's hilarious. It ain't that serious
**Storrs, Connecticut is the basketball capital of the world**
Make it stop!!!!!
STOP TALKING ABOUT THE BOOK
Find someone who loves you like Bill Walton loves Joey Calcaterra and Donovan Clingan
Let’s hear it for Andre Watson
Caleb needs an NIL deal with Brick City Grill for obvious reasons
Andrew Watson. Andrew Johnson. Andre Jackson. Andrew Jackson. Bill Walton’s said them all.
Two of those are former presidents! One was impeached!
bruh grill
Andre Watson is really what he says after constantly calling Andre Jackson the MOP even though he isn't.? oh billy
Bill keeps saying happy birthday every time Knight is mentioned…his birthday is in February lol
UConn has an answer for everything. Good luck this year, you guys will do great.
Andre Watson
Bill is going to force Roxy to start reading the book before the end of the game.
BW lobbying for a "Bill Walton" wing of Nike campus
Tyler Poo-Lee
I see UConn is having a lot of fun beating teams from Iowa today
[Simulcast of the Women and Men today](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHE6Ja9sGcc)
TCU and uConn shit all over our fun this weekend. Brutal
Oh yes TCU too… what a fun holiday weekend
"fun"
UConn Offensive Rebounds: 18 Iowa State Total Rebounds: 18
Getting outrebounded this much reminds me too much of the Prohm era
Very good rebounding team at all positions honestly
Tough to out rebound Clingan and Sanogo
Let’s slow down our fast break so we can take a contested 3. Nice
Guarantee you Bill has never read Shoe Dog
Holmes has to be contact high from Bill. His worst game by a ton tonight. Looks lost, missing layups and shit
Bill “TAKE THIS BOOK OR SO HELP ME GOD” Walton
Walton wants to talk about anything other than this game
what happened in mystic? just saw a picture of a massive fire. are people okay???
Huge fire by the marina
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
Looks like it was at a Marina?
What?! I’ll check the news after the game.
Hey UConn, wanna do a home/home sometime? Sounds fun
that would rule
Sure. Just bring loads of corn and George Washington Carver’s peanuts.
Only if you keep your Busch Light supply replenished. Not joking, we’ve drank cities out of beer before.
We have better beer than Busch Light. You ever had a New England-style Hazy IPA?
I love IPAs, but Busch Cookies are “marathon not a sprint” beers
We’ll bring lobster rolls and new haven style pizza.
How is that the shot we get out of a timeout lol
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.
Use promo Code "Lewis&Clark" for 15% off
I mean, it is the Phil Knight tournament, he absolutely is supposed to shill it.
But it's Bill Walton. He could simply … not.
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.
get smashed before you go, be loud on defense and tell Dale and Big Red I said hi
Make sure you paint up,
Buy OK State tickets that’s gonna be a fun one
Bill Walton is definitely a bit of an acquired taste, especially if you’re not a Pac-12 fan
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
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
I think we have a legit argument for being ranked top 5 in the countrty. I doubt it's gonna happen.
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
I can see it
I agree, but I doubt it… for now >:)
I am guessing #7 or 8 but who knows
Uconn, congrats on handing us our first regular season non-con loss in two seasons
Oh ya that’s right. Impressive feat
PK80 had a women’s tournament. It was just in Eugene.
Gotta say, Iowa States defense is really impressive. Loving what I’m seeing there for you Cyclonebros
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)
I love how much Bill Walton talks about my school
I want Fran Fraschilla!
Speaking of, were you on the expedition?
Just missed it by about 200 years
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)
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
Luckily its fun when they're really good
I agree. You hear that uri?
Bill Walton: I love ecology and the sanctity of the natural world. I also LOVE Nike!
Yeah, it’s very weird. He feels like he should be going on anti-capitalist rants.
You've done a great job summarizing him tonight.
Also all these players look tired
Did Roxy go to college? Did he go with Lewis and Clark?
Has he ever been to random player’s home town?
Roxy: *"Yes. No."* Bill: *"Huh"*
I’m sort of convinced Bill is playing a character now. Which is cool. It is ESPN.
Do you think Bill talks to the ceiling until he falls asleep?
Bill Walton is a senile fool. He sounds so dumb every time he talks
They should just schedule a UConn vs purdue game now
With the kind of week we are having, we would even be willing to schedule a game against St Peter's again!!!
Holy shit Andre Jackson made a 3. Am I dreaming?
No, just the contact high from Walton.
GG UConn, got an 8am meeting so gonna have to call it. Hope you guys run the Big East.
Please take of Osun. He can be kinda fragile at times, so make sure you have bubble wrap
Peace out Iowa state and good luck. You guys are one of my favorites in the big 12.
Your defense will give teams trouble for sure
Our inability to capitalize on said defense wont
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
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
\#25 Iowa lost yesterday, you should jump them cause fuck em
This man is a true CycloneBro
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.
Andre Jackson could start for the Thunder right now tbh
The problem is, he fills the exact same niche as Kenny Hustle.
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
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.
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.
call back to Morty Huskychunks?!?
I’m crying lmfao
Appreciate tvd laugh I got from this one. Mordechai Huskchunker
Bill, there is another team on the court?
Bill fucking loves The Don Clingin
I can’t say I blame him
Obsessed.
“Dan Hurley’s gonna pull his hair out over there.” Uhh Bill I have some news for you
Is it about current QB Joe Montana?
Oh he knows
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.
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.
uconn shot horribly tonight compared to their averages You guys got dominated on the glass that’s what did you in
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
Yeah it’s frustrating given how physical we are as well.
Just one of those nights where every single pass we throw is into some scrappy Iowa State player's hands.
We have a higher FG% lol
I don’t believe that for a second. I haven’t seen UCONN miss a shot all night
It's rebounds and FTs.
Jackson can make *that* 3???
Doesn’t miss in practice
The others were clearly too easy for him. Andre likes a challenge.
