A great basketball year but it turns out, everyone else was just playing in the UCONN national invitational tournament. Hats off to them from an ACC fan.
What's even more amazing is Purdue was without a doubt the second best team all year - went up against No. 1 UConn, who really didn't play that well last night - and still got dominated.
In the men's and women's championship game The best team defeated the best player
Exactly
Well said
When your bench has a 35-0 points differential that tells you the talent gap
That’s why championships in basketball are a TEAM achievement in a 5 v 5 sport. That’s why I hate the Jordan 6-0 argument. That’s a team achievement lol
@@mikemarc92 nobody argues that the Bulls weren't the best team. They were. And Jordan was the best player of all time who happened to be on the best team. There is no argument.
Consider this: In the last 26 years. 1999-2024 inclusive, UConn was only in the tournament 17 times (didn’t quality 9 times). They won 6 of the 17 tournaments they played. Incredible!
Only 25, not 26. Watch your arithmetic, pupil.
DOMINANCE
@@steadylearner1 Teacher please watch your reading. A range of numbers described as inclusive means you count the first and last number. That adds up to 26.
This conversation sequence is a classic example of how toxic youtube Comments are
The more amazing stat is that Uconn made 7 final fours. Of the 7 final fours they made, they went on to win the Championship every time except one...
I enjoy The Volume podcasts because i have to max out my cars volume to hear anything
bro I was fucking around with every volume setting going crazy. Just poor audio mixing yet again lol
same here, maxing volume and barely hear it - all his videos are like this
Purdue isn't able to get clean looks for 3s seemingly without Edey's kickouts. They lacked the ability to screen at the perimeter and were just watching the Edey show from the perimeter when they should have been crashing the boards when Edey started his move.
That first half lived up to expectations no doubt!
Had the same "I can't sit down or walk away" vibes like UConn Duke. Joe from Torrington CT
Ayyy I’m from Waterbury/Wolcott!
New Britain here!
Plainville!!
Born and raised in Torrington!
Manchester
Thanks Colin 11:30... In connecticut.. i went to bed at 2 am and woke up at 5:15 and they did us dirty Friday and Saturday putting us on 9:00 pm back to back
Hurley is a Awesome Coach he gets the Best out of his Guys
He’s a tool
Thank you Colin! We as UCONN fans have wanted to hear this for so long. Absolutely LOVE this. LOVE your show. You are a CLASS act.
How many championships we (CT) gotta to get some respect around here. Let's go UConn!!!
I don't understand the inferiority complex. It's really bizarre. Nobody doesn't respect UConn.
Who cares! Uconn is irrelevant and no hisotry! Just in the past 20 years...give it another 100 years and then you complain
Lol
None!! We don't care! Con is irrelevant!
The best TEAM dominated
The results were pretty predictable. UConn has at least three potential NBA players and Purdue has one. Add to that overall UConn is a much bigger team. The game played out exactly as many thought it would. It wasn’t very competitive or that compelling.
Eady didn't control the glass either
UCONN is the Alabama of CBB! Eric...New Haven, Ct. and Bama is my team since 1990
That's a shame.
Bad comparison. different sports.
When people often think of the Blue Bloods in College Basketball they think Kentucky, Duke, North Carolina, Kansas, UCLA, and Indiana. But in the last 25+ years I believe UConn is a modern-day Blue Blood. They just are. They have built the legacy of being a Blue Blood. Even in the 1980s they were incredible. In the 1990s they were incredible. Of course the old Big East in the 80s and 90s was amazing.
In the last 25 years UConn has 6 championships. Duke and North Carolina have 3 each. UCLA's last title was 1996. Indiana has not won a title in seemingly forever (87?). Kansas and Kentucky have maybe 2 each in the last 25. So those 6 titles in 25 years has to mean something. I'm not a UConn alumnus or fan, but I have tremendous respect for what they have achieved. I really believe we need to start thinking of this program as a modern-day Blue Blood.
I don't think Indiana or ucla can be considered bluebloods anymore
Indiana definitely can’t those banners have cobwebs on them
I would say the Blue Bloods are still the Blue Bloods and then there is Uconn
Why are people so obsessed with that stupid "blue blood" label? It doesn't mean anything concrete. If you think UConn is a blue blood then they are a blue blood.
I would agree, sir.
Congrats UConn - dominant performance. What's sad is that the Huskies didn't really play that great but they still dominated Purdue.
Huskies dominated the tourney and it shows!
They didn’t play anybody
As long as dan hurley stays there uconn will win more national titles
They won’t win it next year
Tall order in this era. He's got as good a shot as any could hope to have though.
@@markfroman738if Clingan comes back they can.
@@BlyGuy he’s gone
Uconn's unstoppable
Remember 1999 vs. Duke? Good times… 😎
That was a great final game
Quit living in the past. The 90s are over.
@@nickbarcheck1019that team is forever etched in history because that was the team that started it all off. Not to mention the 90’s ball was legendary and unforgettable. Not just that they had to go thru the gauntlet that was the beast of the Big East. You’d have to have seen it to know about it.
Oh yeah... Rip Hamilton!
Yep one of the Duke players said that the only player on the Uconn team that would have a chance to start for Duke was Rip Hamilton and before the game Khalid El Amin said we are going to shock the world. It was so much fun watching that game.
Eddy was not dominant, he was ALLOWED TO GET HIS and UConn locked DOWN THE OTHERS. Just like USC did to Iowa. Great Coaches can SCHEME against good players like Eddy or Clark (just like Gino A laid that wood on Clark! Mullkey sucks as a Coach.) The stat line looks good but it is the BOTTOM LINE that matters. There may be a place for Eddy in the NBA but NOT OFFENSIVELY...WHO is gonna wait for or even allow him to take 8 dribbles in the paint or clog the middle for all of these fluid, fast, quick Players. If Eddy focuses on being a LOCK DOWN DEFENDER and Rebounder and maybe a rim runner he could do well. But the quickness and foot work of the NBA Bigs is unbelievable even those like Looney might be to much for him. I can't wait to see where he will be among the REAL Bigs.
The game progressed and ended as expected. Right now Hurley is the best in the business.
Rubbish!
@@jamesh256they didn't double Edey. Shit we had Karaban on him at times in the 2nd half. It's clear the gameplan was to shut down their guards and everyone else and If Edey gets his, fine.
Clingan will be better than Edey at the next level. Clingan has a game more suited for the NBA.
Yeah, and it helps to have long, athletic, NBA guards to lock down the perimeter vs great college players.
@@stephenlowe8158 They said Jokic’s game was not suited for the NBA and Gasol and Ginobili, I could go on and on, all players I admire so much. Trust me if he was American they would be talking lottery pick.
I’m just caught off guard by Colin actually saying nice things about Purdue. 😂. Uconn did to purdue what purdue did to other teams. Impressive win from this Boiler Alum. Congrats Huskies!
The big east was on par with the ACC for years, the conference is back. Great basketball from those smaller colleges in the NE.
Why does he love Chicago so much?He has Bulls season tickets and lives in L.A.!!
At least Colin isn't WHISPERING in this episode. He usually talks like he has a sleeping baby beside him that he desperately doesn't want to disturb
I thought I had this on mute for a second.
Great college players vs long, athletic, NBA guards.
Sheesh. just shat on Calipari this whole segment 😂
It's complete garbage the final four and championship were on ESPN/cable. It was on CBS regular TV for decades. The women's was all on regular TV, not cable. If these greedy bastards keep this up it will become like boxing. The ratings will crash and people will stop watching.
Calm down buddy.
Would love to see SA pair Edey with Wemby. That would be terrifying for all the guards in the league
So many pick and roll dunks to count for unconn
why is the audio so quiet?
At least get to be champs and be the only team talked about. South Carolina won and Colin spent the whole segment talking about Caitlyn Clarl
Whats with Colin uploading videos with such low volume? Same issue on FS1 where you get smacked in the face with uncle colin at the end on max volume. Both channels publish videos with noticeably lower sound then other CZcams videos.
uconn is great, but they just don't move the needle. the 9:20pm et start and it being on cable i wonder if the women's game got more viewers?
It definitely did
@@sd21z Can't imagine how little a person would have to have going on in their lofe to watch a women's basketball game.
Life
@@nickbarcheck1019if you actually like the game of basketball then women’s college basketball has its moments that you sit down and watch. Simple as that
@@nickbarcheck1019I've been a UConn fan since the 1989...and I still watched the NCAA women's final on Sunday.
Zach Edey should have touched the ball on EVERY PLAY. Everytime he got the ball, the UConn defense either colapsed in or left a smaller defender on an island against him. He is also a pretty good passer so he could've probably found open shooters when they decided to double him.
He wasn't double teamed that much. He was mostly defended individually by Clingan who was the biggest defender he has faced all season (still had a monster game because Edey is just awesome). Purdue did leave some open shots on the table in the last 5 minutes or so but those were on the transition. Would have made it closer but they couldn't keep pace defensively at the end so it probably wouldn't have mattered. Everything was going in for UConn.
you didn't watch the game, that's the exact opposite of what happened. Purdue has relied on the strategy in your comment all year long. last night, UConn let Edey get his and locked down the perimeter. even when they did double, they did it from the weak side and either rotated or closed out extremely quickly when Edey kicked it back out. that's why the rest of his team only combined for 23 points
Should see us play street ball. Its basically fighting
Don't care what no ones says. Without the great players coaching don't account for much. If that's the case why don't teams with 3 or 4 star recruit wins it. Hurley said he has 5 or 6 NBA players on that team coaching helps but you have to have great players. Look at UCLA in the 60s and early 70s won what 6or 7 in a row
I hope Coach Hurley stays at UCONN. Forget Kentucky...🙏📿
a matt painter special. no in game adjustments or tactical gameplan. purdue's point guard kept playing at uconn's pace. he'd either shoot or go to the rim off the high screen instead of backing out and slowing it down. that matt painter didn't see that is typical
Rafferty noticed Zach Edey was sucking wind in the first half...from there on, no contest. Hudson County guys know basketball
@The Colin Cowherd Podcast - get your media team to normalize the audio levels. can use about + 10% volume.
dude like 40% more, this shit is half the volume it should be
Just turn up the volume. It’s no big deal.
this isnt the herd the audio is fine, please shut up
Uconn will 3 peat, Hurley and his players feels disrespected and will push hard next year
Hurley should feel disrespected, because he hasn't earned any respect. Getting wins isn't the only measure of success - in fact it isn't even the correct measure of success at all - teaching these young men to be disciplined, hard-working, respectful and classy are the core jobs a college coach. Hurley's philosophy is sorely lacking in the last two categories.
No they won’t
@@gergenheimergive an example of how his players aren’t classy or respectful. Because Right now you just seem obsessed with the guy
@@gergenheimerhe’s won two nattys and his players are disciplined and well coached and he comes from basketball royalty
go to kentucky then
Cal took 3 programs to final four 2 programs to championship games went to 4 final fours in 5 years at Kentucky he’ll be great at Arkansas a change was needed Covid messed up a lot that Covid team was very good but didn’t get a chance to play
Unless Edey develops a nice outside shot, and improves on defense, he’s gonna be a bust. I don’t think his game translates to nba
The Carolina team in 08-09 was the last team this good, imo.
I'd throw Baylor into this conversation
It’s weird how it feels like Colin doesn’t actually watch sports. No unique opinions.
The 6 best teams since 2010
2024 UConn
2018 Villanova
2012 Kentucky
2023 UConn
2016 Villanova
2015 Duke
Ugh. You have to have UNC in there somewhere!
South Carolina will never see 11titles, the portal, and NIL have changed the landscape
In a world of transferring UConn has two starting transfers lol
You meant transferring to Uconn?
Edey couldn't rebound!! Uconn had MULTIPLE second and THIRD chance points. I've never seen a team get so many offensive rebounds. Dude is 7'4 and has center blocks for feet.
UCONN did what was thought to be impossible to do in the tournament....for TWO consecutive years; remove intrigue. Just as the Lady Husky era was in the Breanna Stewart years, the men have taken the guessing game out of the equation. However that resonates with College basketball fans, if they stay on such a trajectory, WATCH the TV ratings drop as a result. Js....
“They could have been in foul trouble much earlier but the refs let them play” the refs let UConn play and called every minor foul on Purdue.
False
Not true at all
They called nothing on Perdue.
This UCONN team is by far the best college basketball team i've ever watched
You haven’t watched much basketball have ya?
@@markfroman738 nah Mark, I've watched plenty but i appreciate the input.
@@techno__18 lol sure you have buddy…
@@markfroman738 did you have any actual input or opinion that you wanted to toss out?
@@techno__18 pretty much did lol
Draft Kings: Uconn vs the Detroit Pistons. The line would be 40 pts.
Is this an insult?
No
@@alexyoung4693 No, people always start that crap when you have a complete suck pro team vs a top college team.
Uconn -40? I would still take them to cover
@@markoo6351 Really? How many UConn players will be NBA starters?
Zach Edey teammates needed to defer to him even more, because they didn't want to make a contribution , Zach Eddy needed a 50 point game with 75 % clip
Nah he was dead ass tired, sometimes there's just nothing you can do
@@fyukfy2366 u have to be perfect , no excuse
Unfortunately the better team was evident, UConn with a strong center matched up too well against Purdue
The other team made one 3 pointer in the game. You can't do that in today's game. Ball game.
Uconn really didn't shoot well from 3 all tournament. The Bama game was better.... and they still weren't challenged
Thank you Colin but I wouldn’t say the difference between UConn and Nova is recruiting vs player development. If all 5 starters get drafted that’s 9 in 3 years and castle the only 5 star
Hurley is obnoxious crybaby jumping up and down every time a foul is called.
Im sure you would be aswell in his position
@@jayd2535I didn’t see the Purdue coach jumping up and down or pushing his player in the back mid-game
@@thesamklickYeah he was too busy not coming up with any semblance of a coaching adjustment
Zach Edey is a walking offensive foul
Are you from Indiana?
Don't agree about size in College don't agree with you
That Villanova team would beat this UConn team by 20 look at the pros on that team they had a 2x all American 2x big East player of the year coming off the bench 😂
False
@@taylorbotteron3774wym look at the pros on that team 😂
It takes a TEAM to Win the Big Ones ? It would have been worse - the Purdue Center got to REST Multiple Times during the massive number of COMMERCIAL BREAKS ? UConn would have run him death under normal game conditions! My Opinion . 🤔
When Clingan came out in the first half, he was GASSED! Edey beat him like an egg. No doubt who the best player on the floor was, Cling-king looked like Curious George next to Edey.
Purdue should have shot more threes. That's on the Purdue coach.
Kind of hard to do that when UConn was defending their asses from the perimeter all game with that size and credit.
Just give credit to the Huskies.
I have been critical of Painter’s coaching in the past. But not this year’s tournament. Purdue had a great run.
It’s kind of hard to do that when every UConn guard was defending their rear ends from the perimeter all game long.
UConn was sensational tonight. I was critical of Painter in the past. Not this year’s tournament. Purdue had a great run. Huskies are just a machine.
@@samuelfrick3475 You are absolutely correct than UConn was offensively sensational in this game. However, the claim that UConn's perimeter defense was elite is patently false. For whatever reason, Purdue passed-up numerous good looks from three-point range - it had nothing to do with great defense.
@@samuelfrick3475 settle down bub, it's college basketball.
@@geordiehalma7323 😂 what did I do?? I guess I didn’t realize my comment was posted twice
Alabama was a better team than Purdue. Facts.
But Purdue beat the shit out of them this year
So did Clemson. Not in the tournament tho. Alabama didn’t even start trying to play defense until the tournament started.
@@HawgWyldFishing They still lost to Purdue, sorry buttercup.
Glad I didn't watch it. Would have had to go to a bar and spend money and two hours.
Why would u have to do that to watch the game?😂
@@kylewade8704 Because I only have streaming for the football season.
@@kylewade8704 It wasn't on regular TV. I don't know anybody who has TBS.
@@nickbarcheck1019I thought everyone did. My bad
HBO streaming had most of the games this year but yeh I have been in the same boat some other years. I did not watch because I had to work. They should put the final on the weekend.
yeah Zach Edey Not dominant enough ....
heard that before
Umass should be what UConn is today
Sometimes I wonder if Calipari stayed there…
@@connorhundl7682I wish they still had him or he would have come back. Those were the days.
Hot take
Edey has his limitations! His dexterity, touch, and footwork are average at best! UConn took advantage of him on the pick-and-roll multiple times because he can only do drop-coverage and, if he shows at all, he gets a lob over his head or, he can't recover with his lumbering feet to his man. In the end, UConn was the obviously superior team throughout the tournament! Great to watch well-coached teams! Well done!
His touch is extremely good for someone his size. Most 6-11 guys let alone 7-4 guys in D-1 can't hit the jump hook with anywhere near the same consistency or range of Edey. Most 7-3+ guys in CBB can't even catch a simple post entry with consistency and most are on the bench. There are a number of them out there that we just don't hear about.
Average is a compliment to that kid. 😂
@justinbuska3499 Doesn't matter, they are still limitations whether he's 6'6 or 7'4! When evaluating a player for the draft, you don't say, "Well but, for his size he's pretty good!" Terrible argument!
@@edkiely2712 Except we do. If we didn’t then we would expect a center to have the same set of skills as a PG. Everything is relative.
Non-D1 players criticizing ppl from their couch is always amusing
Dont be surprised if eventually Dan Hurley winds up at Duke.
I would be shocked. The Hurleys aren't 'Duke' guys, to my knowledge. Bobby was a great, great player for them and I think that's about where it goes.
Bobby is a god at Duke. He can make a call and get the Duke job.
First!
It was me first
Meh....was very disinterested. Last year the SDSU run had us all going.
But did they win tho 🤷🏽♂️
Everyone complaining about start times ….. real basketball fans will find a way
You have the worst takes in all of sports. You finally got one right with this Uconn take.
So glad basketball is over. On to NFL Draft talk!!!
Yeehaw.
The officiating was terrible. When that charge was called a block, I knew it would be a bad game.
Every time Purdue loses it’s the refs fault. Purdue never commits a foul 😂 UConn got screwed out of 2 points on the missed offensive goaltending call that didn’t matter
Purdue got way more calls/no calls than Uconn in this game. 😂 Purdue can't say shit about officiating in this one. Purdue isn't on Uconn's level. Period. Uconn is clearly the best team in the country. They could've played 10 times and Uconn would win all 10.
I am beginning to hate Connecticut. This team is beginning to remind me of UCLA days under John Wooden. You may as well pick Connecticut against everyone else. If this starts happening every year I may just start skipping out watching the tournament. I just don't like the same team winning year after year.
😂😂😂
Boring play sadly
You are boring, sadly.
If Dan Hurley is the future of college hoops, my sports fanhood will die a slow, tragic death.
Exactly. Physically pushing a player, acting like a five yr old, the announcer calling him unhinged. He's a clown, regardless of winning the tournament.
more like the last of a dying breed
Good
Can we get that in writing? Danny boy is not done....he will eclipse Calhoun
Tough disciplinarian usually win out in the end. Those coaches kids can always handle adversity better than so-called players' coaches kids can.
Can’t see Billy Donovan going back to college to deal with admin bs
