Probably should put it in its proper place.

Underwhelming first semifinal. Lots of bad offense. Second game should be much better.

NC State is not a great basketball team. Marquette played like absolute garbage vs them.

While I will be cheering for the Big East in the championship, it’s hard to see a competitor that we are 7-2 against all time going for back to back national championships.

I am so curious to know how Kalkbrenner would have handled Edey. Clingan will be interesting enough. What could have been if we didn’t have that inexplicable five-minute stretch against Tennessee.

So far Clingan is getting absolutely dominated.

Almost nobody can guard Edey straight up. It's no insult to Kalk to say Kalk would struggle mightily 1 on 1. The dude is f-ing huge.

Why is Clingan projected to be as high as the #3 overall pick in the NBA draft (lottery pick in most mocks, at the least), while Edey is in the mid- to late-20s of the first round and Kalk isn’t mentioned anywhere in two rounds. What am I missing?

I get that Edey and Kalk’s games don’t transfer to the modern NBA. But why does Clingan’s? Somebody who thinks they know, please tell me, because I can’t figure it out.

Great question. I’ve been wondering the same thing.

[Realhoops]

Clingan settled in a bit and at least mad Edey take some tougher shots as the half went on. Really feels like just slowing Edey down a bit will be plenty of UConn guards just hit some open shots,

Felt like Purdue played a really great half — and UConn missed a number of open looks. UConn by six. Feels a lot like the semifinal game in that regard.

[section221jay]

As long as uconn doesn't let anyone else go off they'll be fine. Edey is going to run out of gas if they keep running him.
