UConn Michael Jordan of college basketball. Not lebron of college 😂
Disgusting title for this video
Shannon carry First Take
All this talk about Dan, He was average at URI.
Everyone can win by using the portal, but when that coach in Colorado wants to do it, it's unfathomable 😂
Please stop it with the mj comparisons. And im die hard mj fan but come on yall gotta come with better content
I told someone uconn would win it all and by 15 points like last year. I love ❤️ Zach Edey. It broke my heart ❤️ to see him lose 💔, but i knew uconn would tear them apart. Hope purdue make it back to the final four. Good luck next March.
The Jordan championships thing is so overrated!!! I hate it!! This is a team sport. It's not tennis or golf. All the pieces have to work together to win a title. MJ had the best team all 6 championship runs. When He didn't have the best team, He lost! Period!! Stop with the 6 titles crap! sick of it!! Other all time greats don't get the respect they deserve because of the stupid Championships argument!!!
Yo did that bald guys voice change up
God I hate UConn
The most overused term in sports history. Micheal jordan of this or Micheal jordan of that. It's meaningless now.
The way MJ nuts be down SAS throat needs to be investigated
Please stop with the mj takes
UCONN has been very impressive with the way they have basically manhandled in the tournament last 2 years. The way he coaches that team is 2nd to none.
I can definitely see him leaving for Kentucky because they may pay him A LOT of money and it would actually give a bit of a better pool of recruits. Coach Cal did a great job with developing players for the next level, but Coach Hurley does a great job with actually developing winning basketball as a team.
I don't think he necessarily needs to leave UCONN because he has built something special. Kentucky just would benefit with actually making consistent deep tournament runs.
Shout out Jersey city , nj 🫡
If the competition doesn’t step theirs a strong chance they can 3peat next year
Nope gots to 3-Peat
A man goes for 37 And thats held in check SMH
I think Clingan did a good job keeping Edey out of his comfort zone (under the basket) and away (7-8 feet and farther) especially early on, and Edny was still making them awkward one handers and thats what kept Purdue in the game the first 15 – 20 minutes or so. Then Uconn's superior talent, man defense, 3 point defense, shooting, ball pressure and game pace took over (and I probably left out 5 more things they did well) …They let the big man get his inevitable points but wiped out the rest of Purdue's average team…Purdue didn't know what hit them and had NO chance…I have been following Uconn since the Cliff Robinson/Tate George days (yup, lol) and this Uconn team (and last years) are their best & most likable teams and rank as two of the greatest in college basketball…e v e r…
6-0 🐐
They are all the Michael Be Jordan’s from the Yellow Pages. C’ Mon Steven A. WSSU taught you better than that.
UConn will give Hurley a big raise
He’s going nowhere
Plus he made all his bonuses 1.5 mill
Not trying to take anything away from UConn but they getting so much praise for this tittle but I honestly think this was the worst men’s tournament ever back 2 back is back 2 back but I’m not buying the hype

The only time we've lost a national title game is when SC beat the womens team a few years back. Enjoy it my fellow UConn fans and or fellow alums. We are extremely blessed.
Surely Purdue got beat soundly. Stephen A. Smith made a comment about Edey not scoring for 10 minutes. Keep in mind plz that ur guards have to get you the ball and they have to
get it to you in good scoring position not just get you the ball but in good scoring position especially
a center..Thx..
Screw that! We’re a blue blood program and anyone whom says otherwise can stuff it!
Jordan glazing by this clown, once again.
Is he high?
I’ve been loving Molly since she’s calmed down with the outbursts and interruptions. I forgot how beautiful she is.
was uconn the michael jordan of college basketball when they were losing???
Best 5 Teams of all time:
1) UConn – 6 Titles since field expanded to 64 teams, best 30 year run in NCAA History
2) Duke – 5 titles since field expanded
3) UNC – 4 Titles since field expanded, 5 since 1960
4) Kentucky – 3 Titles since field expanded, 4 titles since 1960
5) UCLA – 1 Title since field expanded, dominant run from 1964-1975
This a bad topic. Just talk bout them winning. MJ ain’t nothing to do with this
We talk about Edey but UConn Center not very good he will be a role bench player
