Imagine making the Final Four and playing good, not just ok, but good, and still losing by 14 points. If you're Alabama I don't think you can even be upset about it.
Na can't be upset losing to a better team. Although if they won, I think they would or beat Purdue. I thought the winner of this game would win championship. We'll see if UConn gets it done
😅
They were down 4 at halftime. Seemed like a positive, but not really. They shot 72 percent from 3 and still trailed at halftime. Unheard of statistic in basketball...
Bama had a great season
no f.r. the other team was just too good.
I'm just thankful for the non-spoiler thumbnails.
I'm sure many watched game or checked score lol
I'm not thankful for the spoiler description that's right below.
@@Salsajamanyou gotta turn your phone sideways to make the video full screen before the comments load
@@NoahFernandes-by4zo … Maybe, but not everyone. I avoid sports radio, yahoo’s homepage, hoping to catch these mens and women’s final four highlight on CZcams hoping there wouldn’t be any thumbnail spoilers.
Yeah I try to avoid looking at comments and full size the screen before anything
“Full Nelson on a major rack attack.” What a call.
Putduevsucokn😅😮😮
If I’m a Bama fan I wouldn’t be upset at all because I would have never expected them to make it this far.Congrats to the Bama fans
Roll Tide!!!!!
This might be the highest basketball skill I have ever seen in the modern college age. I forgot this was a college game several times. Insane the amount of talent on these teams.
The entire UCONN basketball team is a robot.
Ive never heard this but kinda like it. Can you elaborate?
@@xxwill6xx576 Sure what I mean is that this team acts like a well oiled machine without weakness. They know there next move before there opponent does, especially in these tournament match-ups and when it looks like its going to be close they just pull away and beat you by double digits. Its impressive.
@@dzexperience883 simple way to say it.. uconn plays at their own tempo, game after game. even the games we were maybe down or close 2-3pt at half... the gameplan doesnt change, so much confidence and chemistry in their offense.. its poetic
@@eyeCblue2the other guys comment was simple and just a better way to explain it
@@xxwill6xx576: Three white starters.
Great test for the UCONN Huskies. Alabama played as well as possible and still lost by 14 points. Zach Edey and Purdue are another challenge for this remarkable Basketball Mad University. You have to really live in Connecticut as I did from 1999 to 2001 to understand just how many publications and sports journalists report on this team, and that's way before both Men's and Women's basketball teams became juggernauts. When you discuss UCONN Basketball it's truly March 'MADNESS'.
It was actually by 16
@@davidquadri3708 In what world was it 16
@@davidquadri3708 No it wasn't. He was right. Final score was 86-72. 14 point margin
I was born and raised in Connecticut. I don't live there any longer. But I can tell you I understand what you are talking about. Having friends and family still live in the state and sharing in the memories. It is hard to believe that Our state is so unknown. Connecticut is unknown for much. But our basketball teams have put the state on the map. I played football in High School and College. I always wished the football team would get its act together. But no one wants to play in the cold!
@Keepitlight3277 I was born in Connecticut myself raised in Alabama and currently still live here and it's the same here in Alabama is not really known for much of anything unless is football
UConn is so balanced they can go big or small inside and outside.
UConn just seems to wear teams down. You can hang with them for a while, but then they seem to go into another gear and it's over
I tip my hat to Alabama. They're the toughest opponents since UCONN last lost against Creighton.
Creighton isn't that great either- Uconn must have taken the day off. In the SEC Bama, Tennessee,Auburn,Texas A&M , Mississippi State and Kentucky are better.
@@JJG84679 No Creighton was just unstoppable from 3, it was a luck based game.
@@AspireGMDyeah it was one player’s best game of his career from three. He was feeling it that night but couldn’t seem to replicate that three point insanity the rest of the season, otherwise Creighton would’ve been unstoppable.
@@JJG84679 Creighton is literally better than every team u mentioned outside of Tennessee and Alabama😂😂😂
@@dmulumba26 Obviously never followed those sec teams
There’s just something poetic about Dan being the one to take his father’s success to the college level.
I agree
You can definitely see the similarities in philosophy between the two. And even though Bob dominated at the high school level, there is still an awful lot that can carry over to the college level. The overriding principles for winning don't change.
Those that cant play coach
uconn again proving why they are the best, taking down in my opinion, the best offense left
This is what it must be like losing to Alabama football. Bama played well. Almost 50% from three , scoring the basketball, decent defensively…
UConn was just better.
Their defense wasn't decent. And offensively second half got shut down with lockdown defense by UConn
Agreed. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing with Bama shooting over 70% from 3 pt range at the half and playing their best basketball all year, UCONN playing their worst half of the tourney, and somehow UCONN was still ahead at the half. 🤷🏼
Fake sports is so dissapointing...WWE
Alabama choking just like they did in football. Go blue!! 😂😂😂
Alabama just outscores everyone they play zero defense within ten days stretch they gave up over 100 points to Florida two times😂😂😂
Alabama had one of the best shooting performances of the season and UConn had one of their worst, and yet Alabama still lost by 14.
They shot 50% from 2pt. How is that bad...
The bigger take away Alabama averages about 90 ppg and they only scored 72
@@whitelivesmatter8453this is the real takeaway. UConn played both sides of the ball extremely well.
You act like it wasn’t close right down to the last few minutes.
@@papermaker2726 Doesn't matter, they lost by 14. Even with Alabama being in it, it doesn't change the fact that Alabama outplayed them and still lost by double digits.
Iowa vs South Carolina and Purdue vs UConn…these finals are gonna be ones to remember for sure!
And just about everyone in the country knew this was going to be the final parings.
@@pclayton5063 Some had houston there in place of Purdont....at least I did.
What a final it's gonna be!
Easy win by UConn
@@damianosoresi3208delusional Purdue
@@user-kn8tm7kl4c it’s not delusional they are literally favored
UConn Winning, they are on another level in college basketball...
Woohooo! And my brackets live to see another day…
Sears is better than any guard Purdue has. UConn is winning back to back
Good luck UConn on Monday, Kudos to Alabama
This game was better than some of the latest nba finals
is it just me or is mark sears an exact replica of jalen brunson I kept thinking it was jb out there lol
Very similar jumpshot and play style
Thought I was the only one 😂
Reminded me a little of Duke Quinn Cook
Grant Nelson is a problem. Whoever grabs him in the draft will be getting a steal. 6’11, (looks closer to 6’10 imo but great size regardless) appears to have a solid wingspan, can be a decent weak side rim protector, has a fluid handle, can be a small ball 5, stretch 4, or a big 3. Has potential as a shooter, and can elevate as well, seems to be a high floor type of player. At worst I see him as a 7th or 8th man on a good team. At best he can be a less athletic Paolo. 🤷🏿♂️
I really like his game and iq its remarkable. his best trait on the court is that he is fearless. he is agressive and smooth
He's coming back to Bama.
@@Drinkifyouseemyname Where did you get that info? I heard him say if he comes back he would like it to be Bama, but I’m also pretty sure he said he wants to be drafted this year after they lost to UConn.
@@elitemidrange Rumblings around the campus. He and Sears both coming back.
@@Drinkifyouseemyname Gotcha, we shall see. I think he could benefit from coming back but I also think he is NBA ready. 🤷🏿♂️
Dang Alabama was giving them a boxing match.
It’s time people from outside of New England understand that this UConn program is about synergy. Getting the right guys and having them play as a unit. There were moments where Cam, and Clingan missed great assist opportunities so I hope they watch this film today and learn from this. UConn can and will play better
Even though the coaches have changed, UConn basketball is built on very similar principles as they were under Jim Calhoun. Toughness, drive, commitment to excellence, and a chip on the shoulder mentality.
Uk fan. I've said it all year UConn big man are fantastic. Alabama played well in the tournament congratulations to them.
Well well well…it’s you again. Your critiques of uk coach calipari on every uk video ever made and uploaded to CZcams this year have proven to be justified. Your voice was loud, consistent - if not repetitious, but not unfounded. Nothing will change, however. He’s back and he’s got “a great group of kids coming in” Next Year™️ that he’s “really excited about.”
@@jt1765 Congratulations to what? they got blown out in the end no matter how you slice it and would have happened sooner if they didnt get some lucky bounces.
@@chipchiperson679 I think Alabama had a very good run for the talent level they had. UConn was a big ask in size. They kept it close for a good bit. No shame in being beaten. They just didn't have the talent on the interior. I disagree with your assessment but if that's how you see it that's fine.
@@jt1765 you have no idea how I hate that I am right on Calipari but he is a horrible coach. I'm sorry he just is and will continue to be. I am even angry that the press and fans have an undying support... Even a cult like following of this awful coach rather than UK basketball and what that history means.
@@wesleygordon9413 they should have been more concerned with going over a game plan against a 1-3-1 zone instead of going bowling. But now we’ve heard he just throws the game plans out the window and tells them to play their game and have fun. Now what in the world is that? No wonder they were scared, passing the ball back and forth around the perimeter! All that non sense talk about “being in the moment.”
A team whose players execute with individual and collective purpose to create that synergistic effect great champions have. Nice sets and flow defensive friction there too.
U of C’s players just bust to the basket when someone drives offensively to the hoop! I’m sure Perdue will be aware, but they’ve got to clog up the lane on drives to the basket. Their teamwork is exceptional and totally unselfish.
I’m a BIG10 guy, but it’s gonna be an uphill climb on Monday. I feel very positive that it will be an entertaining game.
Peace, brothers! ❤️☮️🙏🏽
@@sailorsquatandhisseaman Purdue hasn't the depth to keep up . Johnson Clingon should handle edey. Boilermaker guards are good . Forwards ? And bench. ? Nsm. Not that on an off night they could win. But the der oer pomeroy numbers suggest that would be like 3 x in 10. Glad to see painters doing more p/r its made them better with Smith and loyer.
Nelson is a straight up baller. As a Pacers fan, we need to use one of our 2nd rounders for him. We need a rebounder who can space the floor. He'd be an incredible backup for Myles Turner
Very proud of this Bama team and our program as a whole the last 5 years… UConn is who we all thought they were… what a team
Bama had a great season. It did
seem like a bad omen when they had shot the lights out for the entire 1st half and UCONN had played their worst half of the entire tournament and somehow Bama was still down at the half. I don’t even get how that happened.
@@xxyyzz8464because UConn’s worse is some of the good teams best, and that’s just the truth. They have so many weapons that people expect “more.”
@@xxyyzz8464because they shot 19 free throws in the first half bri 😂
Bama put up a great fight. Let’s win in it on Monday Huskies
Nah Purdue & Edey will demolish them easily watch lol 😂💯

@@blokkstarphillips4807 yeah....no.
Please come back after the beat down Uconn puts on Purdue!!! @@blokkstarphillips4807
Fundamental sound and a exceptionally balanced team. Witness Greatness guys. I believe they could have beat them by 30 but the coach switched up the gas pedal on Alabama(And the Refs). This team is Frightening. Congratulations and Stay Excellent 🌪️🔥🏀
Facts 💯
The refs babied UConn with the one-sided foul calls, especially the no-calls on Lurch for constant 4-second lane violations!!! Make me sick!!!
@@josephstar5386 Lost by 14 calm down.
Alabama was winning the game at 1 point. It was tied at with like 6 mins left. Alabama wasn’t Illinois they weren’t 30-0 ruining Bama idk what your talking about 😂
Monday night has a chance to be a great one, but in order for Purdue to pull this off, their guards are gonna have to step up and knock down some shots when they’re open. Braden Smith must play better than he did earlier tonight
you just explained why it won’t be a great one
@@GoatedAtNFS😂😂😂😂😂
BAMA has a scary good/ great MCBB team! Just fell a bit short is all.
@@GoatedAtNFS 😂😂😂😂😂
Or it could be another UConn blowout win, Uconn has the guys to make Eday actually do something.
7:10 one of the best dunks ,ever? Impressive.
And right before that, you could hear Newton hit the floor! BAM!!! 😳
Bama did everything they could.. just exceptional in the first half.. but was still down.. most of their points in the 1st came from 3's thats just not sustainable
That’s just how they play, but it’s nights like the 2nd half where they either don’t go for them or just miss every one where that strategy doesn’t do as well
Edey can get ALL the calls and Clingan can foul out in the first half…UConn still wins by 10.
Cap, bro. 😂
Everyone building houses, but UCONN building CASTLES." Fire up the Caravan I'm riding with Karaban "
Clingan onto the national championship
Booooooooo
You might have autism
@@LesgoSaquonlol
cringe
I think this was a tougher matchup for UConn than Purdue from a style of play standpoint. Alabama played about as well as they could play, and UConn still pulled away in the end.
Completely agree.
Agree on the matchup. Bama were basically lights out from 3 for most of the game and still lost by 14. Mad.
Agreed
They shot 73% from behind the arc in the first half - absolute fairytale numbers and like you said the Huskies still pulled away. Unless Purdue has another exceptional shooting night and Edey dominates then it will be UCONN by double digits again I do fear 😨
Clingans defensive presence is so good. I hope they let him go 1+1 vs edey. Dont double team. Make edey score all the points and lock up everyone else.. they dont have anyone dynamic like shannan or Sears
They won't double team him but they will send help at times, on and off to keep him working as hard as possible while knowing he will still get his points.
That's precisely how I would play Purdue if I was Uconn. Mano e mano. If Edey scores 50 and beats you you hold your hand up. Don't let anyone else get a sniff.
UConn is going to win easily over Purdue. It's a little shocking how much better UConn is than any other team.
Whose gonna guard Edey? 😂 yall trippin
@@handled99Maybe the guy who’s only 2 inches shorter than Edey, and analytically and by eye test better on defense. UConn doesn’t need to run through clingan to win games, Purdue does rely on Edey. Not that they are bad without him, it’s literally how their offense works; through Edey.
Clingan is faster and mobile, and they will just wear them out.
@@handled99 Nobody. Edey can drop 40 points again, it won’t matter. He won’t be able to keep up with all of UConn’s scoring. Conversation over
@@handled99Clingan will lock him down. He’s a bit more athletic than him too. UConn’s guards are shooting much better than Purdue
UConn all the way, Big East stand up.
Closest game UConn has had in a while.
Can't wait to watch them humiliate Edey and Purdue.
Anyone can win the final. These are two excellent teams colliding.
UConn got exposed tonight, they aren't that tough. As a UConn fan, I can say Purdue has pretty good chances.
@@xxyyzz8464 i dont agree with that, i think uconn will destroy purdue
UConn got exposed by winning a final four match up by double digits?
@@archangelmusic13 Maybe, but they don’t play a 7 game series. It’s just 1 game and UCONN lost a few games this year to good teams that aren’t as good as Purdue, so anything can happen even if UCONN should win.
Bama grad here, went to the game, Spencer is UConns mvp he’s not as athletic as Steve Nash but pretty close, give that guy a chance in the nba and he’ll be making these same championship plays in June. awesome time in Phoenix can’t complain Roll Tide
The Crimson Tide has been neutralized, *the Huskies roar through the National Final for the back-to-back!*
U C O N N UCONN UCONN UCONN 😎🏀🏆

Great win for UConn I’m sad for Alabama.
@@fml5910that would have been a closer game I feel like but UConn just dominates every team they play in the tournament when they are higher than a 5 seed.
@@sawyerhinck2471 You're probably right.
No disrespect to bama they played well but uconn is on a different level
Great Final Four.
Connecticut against the Goon Monday night should be good.
Who slow Yao ming
Proud of them guys. Roll Tide!
Go UConn from Worcester Massachusetts!
I'm proud of the Bama player's, they've set a new high water mark at the University of Alabama.
We got this game a year too late, just imagine how epic a Uconn vs Alabama tournament game would've been last season!
It will be interesting to watch the matchup between Clingan & Edey - the thing is Purdue needs Edey a lot more so than Uconn needs Clingan. Uconn wins by double digits. Congrats to Bama - the game was anyones up to about the 3 minute mark.
Alabama fan here, Not upset one bit. I’m super proud of the year we’ve had, and i am very hopeful to the future. I wish Uconn the best of luck in the championship and all the years to come. Roll Tide 🐘🔴⚪️
Nelson got that dog in him. Bama should be proud of their season!!
Let's go UConn! Proud to be from Storrs CT. We're just too good!!!
UConn is just too good
UConn was national champs in 04, 14, and now maybe again in 24. They still have Zach to deal with.
They balled out, both teams play well, uconn was just too much with the shooters. Championship is gonna be crazy!!
When you add skill AND pure hustle, you are pretty much unstoppable. UConn made the most out of every possession, especially on the defensive end. Hats off to Alabama though, they gave it all they had.
Great job, Alabama. You all will be back!
Finally no comments bashing the refs or saying the game is rigged.. since it wasnt even close in the end. You would think every game played is rigged reading comments these days 😂😂😂
Let's go huskies 🎉❤
Been saying for it for over 2 years now, UConn is a level above anyone else in the league. I should be betting on sports
Nicely done! Let’s go back to back!
I have got to get in shape.
Facts, let’s get on the grind bro. You got this
UConn center has skills
This game was fairly close til the last 5-7 minutes of the game.Alabama got winded.Connecticut is too much game in transition.Uconn is just about good at every angle of the game.Inside game,3 pointers and jump shots,very good at the fast break,thier defense is quick and swarming.Its hard to keep a lead on Uconn because they got alot of different scorers.Congratulations for thier 2nd straight national championship game appearance.Connecticut vs Purdue Monday night.This match might be one of the best national championship games in history.We will see tho
No it wasnt that close, Bama got some lucky calls and bounces and werent playing to win enough but more were more concerned about not getting blown out and still lost by 14.
“…their…”
@@chipchiperson679 Yes it was that close. We were the only team in the whole tournament to give UConn a scare.
Alabama had them on the rope's for sure...they were hitting all thr shots
Finally non-spoiler thumbnails, please keep it this way for future tournaments
"Uconn is a machine" 🎯
This UConn team is unbelievable I’ve followed Purdue and they are good but they don’t have a chance against UConn
UConn is just too good… Alabama has no reason to be upset cause they played well 💯
#32 UConn slow and camps in the lane on offence. Sears is the best player on the floor.
All my predictions where right 😂
UCONN is the only reason my entire bracket isn't busted RN!! Go Huskies!!
UConn is the best team I’ve ever seen
Purdue are no match for this Uconn squad. Bar Clingun foul trouble and a terrible night shooting for the Huskies, I don't see Purdue's road to victory at all...
cuando se juega la final ¿¿
Be proud Alabama ! Great year ! SECC Basketball ! From a Kentucky Basketball fan !
nelsons dunk on clingan was the highlight of this game, but you knew uconn would win easily, and they will win even easier in the final.
Idk about easily this game
@@randomaccount4950 they will win in a blowout like they did vs the big 10 champs illinois.
It was anyone's game until roughly the 3 minute mark- unlike the 2nd half blowouts where Uconn imposed its will on opponents throughout the whole tournament.
Alabamas pace and 3 pt shooting bothered UConn a bit. I think Purdue is in big trouble
#1 UCONN will face #1 Purdue on Monday in the National Championship
Love Ian Eagle’s full Nelson call 😂
I'm guessing the Purdue game will be similar, they'll hang around but UConn has too many runs
One more to go for UConn let’s get it
As for Connecticut, the top seeded National Champions are one win away from their 6th National Championship after 86-72 win over the Alabama Crimson Tide led by Donovan Clingan's 18 points & 4 blocks.
The thing that I love about the thumbnails is that you can tell right away, who won the game before you watch the highlights. I like that, because I don’t like being nervous about knowing the outcome when I click on these videos!
So are U nervous or not nervous when U know the outcome prior to watching the video?
@@vandrive5687 I think it’s great that you can kind of tell who wins from the thumbnail. you can just enjoy the highlights and not be nervous about what happens.
Too easy for UConn they will win a championship again. They been blowing everyone out by 10 and more. Purdue can’t beat them
Most the other teams they won by about 20 😮
1 more !!! UConn
True anything is possible cause it's not like NBA best of seven it's just 1 game
8:08 that pass was made before Johnson broke to the hoop ... Great pass
wow ... nice game ... to both teams ... UConn all the way...
Congratulations
Alabama did a great job playing against them trees. UConn and Purdue will be a great game!
5:06 This pass is so underrated
Purdue can win it all if there guards play with poise and limit offensive rebounds easier said than done against UConn
Alabama hung with them the entire game and had really good athletic players. I was surprised only 3 teams were accepted from the Big East?
Go UCONN
Go Huskies
Basketball 🏀
kind of bummed i couldn't watch this (i don't have cable). but the highlights are actually better.
UCONN WINNING NCAA CHIP THIS SEASON
I personally had Jared Mcaine (Duke) but they did their best wasn’t good enough ! But now I think Purdue is going to destroy !
