Uconn gets it to 5 and then commits a terrible turnover that leads to any easy dunk at the other end ugh

Yeah, no poise at all from UConn offensively. That's where they're losing this game.

Doesn’t help that Malachi Smith has had WAY too many minutes due to dumb fouls by Ball.

Offense has been slightly better with their other guards in the game now. Just missing shots.

But Michigan’s D is ferocious. You can tell coaches like Hurley, May, Sampson, Izzo practice their guys hard. There’s a different level of toughness instilled into the culture. Mich is blocking everything with their life.

scUM defenders are just allowed to body check the Uconn ball handler

Easy to play out of control "ferocious" D when the refs refuse to call you on anything ....meanwhile while you get every touch foul call at the other end.

Ohio State plays basketball like they know they’re the little brother on campus. Besides a handful of games there was no crispness, no toughness. Just country club, buddy buddy from Diebler. Has he ever chewed anyone out?

Nah, they’re just swatting the shit out of every layup off the glass. Heck they got called for one that was a clean block this half.

He's too busy clapping to chew anyone out

UConn missing every 3 in the second half ...

UConn missing every 3 in the second half ...

That's the story of their season. It's amazing they got to this point with how their shooting just vanished constantly for long stretches

 

[zwem]

I’m starting to think that rim is not lined up correctly that UConn is currently on. Teams are a combined 1-20 with Mullins finally hitting one.

 

[buckeyemania11]

Another Ohio State level turnover by Uconn

 

[DZ83CK]

UConn can't score on a runout, UM comes back and works the ball around and hits a 3. Game over.

[buckeyemania11]

Thanks for nothing Uconn.

 

[OHSportsFan]

Brutal. Can’t get a clean handle on a layup to cut it to 4.

and that’s enough of this season. Going into a sports blackout until football kicks. Disgusting times.
