Dance seems to be shaping up to Purdue v UConn final, probably best matchup you could ask for

 

[Mullins Revenge]

Uconn should win this by what? 20?

3 minutes in and I take back what I said yesterday about Clingan being one of the 5 most impactful players in college basketball.

He's easily top 3.

Clingan
Shead

Nobody else is close

“Clingkong“doing Kevin McHale impression

Don’t be fooled by Illinois inexplicably not starting their big man

 

[paultzman]

Home game for Huskies

Dainja never starts. Their gameplan was to play small and have Hawkins draw Clingan away from the basket but they just put Clingan on Illinois' non shooting guard instead. Illinois wouldn't even go into the paint when Clingan was in there

 

[Mullins Revenge]

This game was over the minute Underwood claimed that they play in the Big 10 and have seen teams like Uconn.

An all time dumb coaching blunder to give Hurley bulliten board material.

He should’ve started tonight for matchup purposes. Nevertheless Illinois looks shell shocked

All this talk about Shannon where the hell is he

They seemed to have settled in a bit when a certain someone went to the bench

This is a good matchup for him specifically. Still think he’s overrated and will probably show it if this game is close in 2nd half

 

[Mullins Revenge]

Castle has been awful so far.

 

[paultzman]

Diallo such a spark

 

[paultzman]

Clingan dominating, alters shots and intimidates

 

[Mullins Revenge]

Clingan is a man amongst boys.

Illinois literally can’t score when Clingan is in the game lol

UConn was up 9 when he went to the bench
Lead cut to 2 with him out
Lead back to 6 with him back

Plus Illini thin interior guy has no prayer guarding him

Illinois hit some deep 3s when Clingan was on the bench LOL, they continue to challenge him around the rim despite being woefully undersized

Underwood’s gameplan for this game has been horrid
