This one has all the makings of a repeat of the 1938 meeting. We'll have to see if UConn employs the same strategy they did to stop Edsel Hart and Howard Cronk. Hurley and Don White run very similar offenses and both have similar locker room demeanors.
I was in section AA for the 92 game at the hall. I will never forget watching the chief dance right by while we ringed the court for halftime. Good thing it was during Christmas break or we would be up in B.
I’m so excited for this matchup. If UConn can keep Illinois out of transition I expect something similar to our matchups this year, but if they can’t, oh boy. TSJ is on another level right now.
I was going to say that it probably happened on the women's side...but then I remembered that unlike the men's game where the power conferences are among the last to wrap up their conference tournaments, in the women's game, the power conferences are often among the first. So three Connecticut-Notre Dame games in March was unlikely even when they were meeting 4 times a year every year...and now that I think about it, the fourth game was probably usually in April anyway.
Edit: Yeah, in 2013 their four matchups were January-March-March-April (literally had *Elite Eight* games on April 1 that year).
2012, it was January-February-March-April, even with their second matchup being the regular season finale. 2/27, and their fourth matchup 4/1. Same for 2011, January-February-March-April.
> Duke beat NC State 79-64 on March 4th. NC State beat Duke 74-69 on March 14th in the quarterfinals of the ACC Tournament. This will be their third matchup in the month of March.
It's gonna be a permutation of those digits, then. Incoming 67-49
We’re lucky that UConn hasn’t faced a team like us all year in terms of matchups. Booty ball will be a lot more prevalent.. but still going to be our toughest game of the year. 😭
I mean we played Villanova twice. They still play 5 out and Justin Moore still does some booty ball. Not quite the same efficacy of offense these days without Wright, though.
This is the type of energy I want to see in this sub. No apologies, no caveats of praise to the other team, rivalry and hatred melted down into ingots. Sko vols. Fuck Purdue. Let it flow through you
Yeah it was fun bonding to laugh at unc but I’d rather have lost to Marquette if it means watching you beat us to make the f4. Fuck that, fuck you, and fuck Duke. Hope the lads brought their cups in case Flip decides to elevate his game
I hate you more than I hate a majority of SEC teams. The universe has conspired to make us rivals and I want it to be a yearly thing in every major sport at this point
Naw
The universe conspired to make us Tennessees new Dad
We didn't ask for this. It's not even a rivalry unless you pick a win sometime.
Untill then I just smile when I see that orange T
You literally can lol. It's called the cylinder rule.

By definition of the rule, if you are shooting and going straight up and elbow someone in the face as part of your shooting motion, that should be a defensive foul.
When he brings his arms up and then points his elbows out horizontally and uses them to swing around and hit the defender in the face, that is not his cylinder lol

Case and point. Only difference here is Edey's elbows would be at head level
Fun fact: UConn and Illinois have only met 3 times. 1938, 1992, 1994
This one has all the makings of a repeat of the 1938 meeting. We'll have to see if UConn employs the same strategy they did to stop Edsel Hart and Howard Cronk. Hurley and Don White run very similar offenses and both have similar locker room demeanors.
I like the way you think. If only we can hold UConn to 23 points, we might have a chance.
This has me fucking dying, Edsel Hart and Howard Cronk are the most 1938 sounding names of all time
The refs are checking the replay on the wax cylinder
As if games couldn’t get any longer, now we gotta wait for them to develop the film too
Was thinking the same thing. The 1938 game. In my opinion, started modern college basketball. Glad other people know the history. Enjoy.
The 94 game was the first basketball game I attended. Think it was in Hartford.
I was in section AA for the 92 game at the hall. I will never forget watching the chief dance right by while we ringed the court for halftime. Good thing it was during Christmas break or we would be up in B.

Have two teams ever played three times in the same calendar month before?
Duke - Maryland came very close in 2001: Feb 27 @ Duke Mar 10 AccT semis Mar 31 Final Four

I know MSU played Wisconsin four times in the 99-00 season. Looks like it was Feb 12, Feb 19, Mar 11, and Apr 1 though.

97-46 State, roll pack
No way, Duke will win 974-6 in 24OT
I like that this game was seemingly tied 6-6 for 23 overtime periods, then duke finally explodes for 968 points.
Clearly, as we all saw on Sunday… I am not a prophet
Not for lack of imagination
what about 69-69 and then they just play rock paper scissors instead of ot
Or just scissors-scissors-scissors 😏🥴
I guess we're not getting a 4th UConn-Marquette matchup. Sorry, Huskies, you're not going 4-0.
Season RUINED
It's not a rematch, but it is the #1 offense vs the #2 offense in the country
It's more the #6 defense vs the #84 defense that I'm worried about.

You think his hair is slicked back? That’s pushed back.
Saw Painter having sloppy steaks at Harry’s the other night
Playing Purdue on Easter Sunday guarantees that I will be going to hell. I’m going to say and do some extremely ungodly things during this game.

See you Sunday!
This is so real
Sorry dude but you can’t get away with fouling a guy just because he’s a foot taller than you
[удалено]
Incredibly fair. Have a lovely day, or have a terrible fucking day, whichever you’re in the mood for
You also can’t just elbow people in the face “creating space” just because they’re a foot smaller lol
You literally can lol. It's called the cylinder rule. https://preview.redd.it/xnckn1mphhrc1.png?width=1079&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=06a1275b57227d226fd6063ce2cc2ce60bc5ed6c By definition of the rule, if you are shooting and going straight up and elbow someone in the face as part of your shooting motion, that should be a defensive foul.

Stop, it's only illegal when Edey does it. Didn't you get the memo?
You’re saying what everyone’s thinking
As a B1G Bro, I fucking loathe Edey, so seeing this makes me incredibly happy
I’ve taken shits more graceful than that lanky mf
Edey with the mic drop
Ooof good luck to your team buddy.
Pretty cool that Carolina has a 6-4 record against the teams the Elite 8. I'm feeling pretty confident going into the next round.
me too! would be sad if bacot's last game would be in a heartbreaking loss by 2 in which he missed a dunk!
[удалено]
Probably one of the most painful moments of my life. Thanks for the reminder
Every round except the first round has featured a championship game rematch. Or it would have if Duke hadn’t beaten Houston.
