They did it, again. Just as in 2023 the UConn Huskies came to the Final Four and proved, without a doubt, that they are the best program in college basketball with a 76-60 win over Purdue Monday night in Glendale, AZ. And, we're recapping it on College Basketball Coast to Coast!"

From big man Donovan Clingan 11 points, 5 rebounds to guard Tristen Newton, 20 points 7 assists, UConn was the better team from beginning to end. And, even though big man Zach Edey had 37 points, no one else was really a factor for the Boilermakers.
And, they guys talk the absolute heater that Dan Hurley is on as the coach at UConn, as well.
It's all part of this final edition of "College Basketball Coast to Coast" for this season and make sure to be following and subscribing for more content on this feed later this fall as the new season will get underway!
New Venue but the same results for UConn, as they have rolled into a second straight championship game and are looking to repeat in the 2024 NCAA Men's Basketball Tourney. They'll play Purdue, who was equally impressive and are in the title game for only second time ever. And, we're ready to recap it all on the latest "College Basketball Coast to Coast" recap show and podcast.
Host T.J. Rives is back from Glendale, AZ and ready to go over it all with colleagues Ari Russell, Matt Zemek, Deshaun Tate, Tyler Jones and T.C. Martin from State Farm Stadium.
The guys talk first about Purdue 63-50 win over upstart N.C. State in game one Saturday night. Why was Zach Edey so effective, yet again in leading the Boilermakers to another win? Why couldn't the 'Pack get anything going and just how loud was it for Purdue's massive fan base in the stadium.
The second semi was another Connecticut decisive win, even though Alabama shot the ball well in the first half. How much credit does Huskies coach Danny Hurley deserve for being on the verge of having back to back champs? And, is Donovan Clingnan practically unstoppable down load, even with the pending Edey matchup?
