Best Podcasts on UConn's March Madness Comeback

“"Duke played a perfect first half. Perfect... But they hung in there, and this is how it sounded... Connecticut has the lead, 73-72... UConn's approach is let's get one of those guys, and then we're going to have guys who are going to stay two or three years, or maybe four years with Reed. And you do need that."”

“Duke played a perfect first half. Perfect. And when Charles Barkley said, I don't see Connecticut coming back, I go, Connecticut's going to win this game. Because Charles is never right on his bets. But they hung in there, and this is how it sounded. Here is the Duke call on the game winner. Boozer. Bobbled it. Back for Sarr. Needs to get rid of it. Does for Caden. Seven seconds, trying to throw it ahead, deflected, stolen by Connecticut. Two seconds, it's Mullins up top for the win. Oh, he hit it with three-tenths of a second to go.”

“I thought there was no way that UConn was coming back the entire time. No way. Early in the game, we were like, that's game. And then we kept being like, oh, maybe not, maybe not. In the back of my head, I was like, there's just no way Duke blows this game. No way. It's insane.”

“"Sands. I love sports. That's because Duke lost. Yeah. And I said, ha ha, I knew you would. He said, sports, nothing like it. You know, so he was happy because he wants Duke to lose not only every game, but he wants to lose each game twice. Tough bedtime routine for our household."”

“And yesterday they did it by being Duke with a freshman hitting a three who said after the game, he wanted to get the ball to somebody else who had made one. Caravan throws it back to him and that shot will live on. It's not going to be late in our Kentucky, but it will be something you will, and of course he will, but you'll see that shot if you're a college basketball fan for the rest of your life.”

“This was an unbelievable game, Uncle Joe. This was an unbelievable game. I mean, for me, I'm sitting there on the edge of my seat. I'm thinking the game was over. Hell, if they had a 19-point lead, I'm sitting here playing the game. I'm sitting here playing the game. I ain't paying no mind. Boy, I look up And they, wait They done closed the gap by two? Yup, when that dude got that AM1 I said, Duke, y'all in trouble.”

“First of all what a delight This is two years in a row that Duke loses late in the tournament in just epic fashion. We can all agree, anybody but Duke. And just truly an insane end to the game. I can't say that I saw a lot of it, but I saw the last 30, 40 seconds of the game. I guess Boozer got a little flack for, what did he panic couldn't he have just held on to the ball and gotten fouled that's like kind of an instinctual play right like this like you think you're being smart by like oh we're gonna run the clock i'll just lob it up and crazy i think it was a great play like the steal was great the pass and pass back was great obviously the shot is an all-time killer shot and dan hurley another round for uh your yukon huskies baby i was honestly a great great great coaching job sometimes i feel college coaches almost get too much credit because they're the only constants at these schools and the camera's always showing them.”

“"Championship Brazilians From the UConn Huskies last night This was a huge shot Wow, Kevin been balling too... Duke was up 15.5. It got wiki yesterday. Shout out to UConn. Getting it up over Duke. 73-72. Historic matchup yesterday, man... The shot that gets you to the final four."”

“UConn is sitting right there. I could see them making a run in that bracket... UConn, though, is a team that Tate and I, they're kind of our zombie team, I feel like. Anytime you think UConn's dead, Danny Hurley's got that intensity. I think that they could make a run... Dan Hurley and his offense has been tough to stop for anybody, especially game planning for UConn.”

“I like Dan. I think he's certifiably crazy, yes, but I think his passion, his love for his players, what he's done with that program has been phenomenal. And I just thought one of my players, I'm always worried, are we tough enough? I knew his team was tough. And when we went there, just so you know, they kicked our butt.”

“I give the official and officiating crew a lot of credit for swallowing their whistles because as unbelievable moment that was for Braylon Mullins for UConn basketball it could have been mirrored in controversy if that official would have blew the whistle and gave Coach Hurley a technical for them. So that would have been two shots from anyone, I assume. Yeah. And you could have easily lost that game.”
