I know you dream of me give me that Purdue in pursuit of a championship Yukon will play for the national championship March equals Madness [Music] M we've got a number one versus a number one the Big East against the Big 10 winter takes the the national title our officiating crew Jeffrey Anderson that means we'll get some high knees here tonight Terry Oglesby both working their third national championship game Roger a working his first Maris pedig is the standby official at the table it's everything you've worked for now 40 minutes of basketball will decide the national championship heavy weights to jump it up Purdue controls the ti we're underway go ground Hill right now the Huskies go a [Applause] little Smith trying to get to the rim fakes it nice protection T it in the right spot Purdue with a win over NC State in the semi-final 63- 50 they shot just 40% in that game turned it over 16 times get it inside Ed is first touch straight up against Clan he short you don't say that very often Edy comes away with a loose ball and a tie up possession arrow going to Yukon and right away raft clinging on that left shoulder of Zack Edy understanding the Scot report that's where he prefers but these two giants two three four times banging inside and you said it best I not often you see Ed come up short there but and bird let's not use short well that was my I don't know if I've ever said he's short before with Zach Ed and they played straight up with no stunt nice little flare screen for an open look Caravan he missed it too strong rebounded by Smith although Smith didn't shoot it well the other night he did contribute in other areas and this is the matchup we thought get ni ducked in by Ren they go to him frequently early Calin Ren he's got some nice touch on the interior and right away that castle match up was SPI something we anticipated but Castle has the size and the and the physicality to try to keep Bren Smith under reps Yukon was in a tight one against Alabama first time they've been tested in this tournament but wanted 86- 72 going away so busy spcer knocks one in from the outside it's a three a little floppy set but he's just always on the Move great creativity and a little BMP to set him free Bon up by one first national championship game for Purdue since 1969 lost to UCLA 92 to 72 a little switching on the perimeter here Jones floats it up CL one and and rap I think he's key he can be an X Factor here for Purdue obviously can shoot the ball from the perimeter but his toughness his athleticism only 61 but able to get to the rim draw a little as you would say Ticky Tac foul there nickel dmer but he has to be aggressive and take some of the pressure off of Zack Ed for Purdue it is Tristan Newton who picks up the personal Jones the transfer from Southern Illinois shoots it at 74% and Purdue leads at 53 Yukon sixth national championship game they are 5 and0 in the National Title including last year Ling very active gives bumps gets this little drop d new forces his way in and he's fouled he got lawyer they're going to take advantage of that guys that drop defense turned the corner and the guy who can make some tough shots justed Newton tough in that lane and lawyer objects well right away you see him you can see it to the eye I mean Purdue giving up some size and athleticism to Yukon on the perimeter Newton taking advantage at his height 66 as a point guard and that's part of the storyline here Newton size Spencer solid 64 Castle 66 Braden Smith 6 foot Jones 61 lawyer 64 everybody's talking about the size in the middle of Ed at 7 fo4 and kingan at 7'2 Yukon has the size Advantage at the guard positions sounds very envious doesn't it a little you caught that huh that this is the guy you got to caral him in the open floor the ball screens he's thiv it particularly going to his right nice little St again feed it inside C red it's block he sing it wow his ability to help WRA Sensational he doesn't fall asleep good defense there Caravan to slap back for an open look in the early Yukon running a 12 game winning streak Spencer he pivots inside for two and he froze the big fell two he didn't know whether to help or stay on done of it the transfer from ruter has been a perfect piece for Dan Hurley Squad 75 lead for the Huskies right away Castle forcing Smith to his left knowing he likes to go right there goes that hook again and Ed connects they definitely want to take away the three so they're going to play straight up for a while at some point there may be a change by Yukon screen hand off Newton to pull up H it's off and the rebound to cman Ren get it up the floor and it's out of bounds he was looking for Smith early miscommunication you talked about it WRA inside kinging fighting in there playing them straight up and look that's good defense make him score over length obviously kinging is important he not foul Zack Ed one of the best in college basketball drawing fouls good defense better offense and B both big guys have not been disqualified the game with foul problems and they play tough just a little under two fouls a game pretty amazing when you think of this of course Ed plays many more minutes 31 and 22 get it up C slams it down right now the big Fell's not sure of what exactly to do should I stop the dribble should I stay on my man they're going to have to ride that everybody was looking forward to the Unstoppable Force versus the immovable object he's got a counter mode e with the left hand and that's part of his game he's improved on that left hand right there take away the left shoulder that's Spin and easy at the basket right now Purdue I mean the guards are getting into the paint have to contain them right against Purdue's [Applause] defense Newton trying to feed the post clinging one-on-one back out Spencer 10 to shoot kinging High screen eight to shoot they're usually good at and the shot clocks switch it Clingan asking for it Spencer a that'll make you good huh ball fake Jam step drill and by the way Cam's talking to Ed he is the one guy I think he's hungry for championships with a lot of spice to Yukon Spencer has scored seven of the 11 for Yukon back inside Ed try to adjust clinging there defensively and I like the nice run out here what a oh the catchball CH and the layup doesn't go caraban saves extra New Look feed it oh steps and it's going the other way on the travel two what South Yukon in front 119 off to a good start at Glendale wish was a little [Music] bit finish for the big just the second time seven Footers have matched up in the national championship 1984 Houston's hem elijan squared off with George Downs Patrick Ying ho has won at 84 to 75 shout out to skilo they're taller and they're Ballers Edy and kingan the numbers have been prolific I don't think Raph knew what you're talking about oh I'll play you some skilo later I'll catch up another couple of years but right now Grand I talking during the commercial giving the two and taking away the three that's what yukon's been able to do both big guys playing straight up couple of changes here Mason Gillis and Camden height in for Purdue 5 minutes G by in this first half yeah what they got is Heidi is a good Defender can make threes Millis a good passer and Pi Smith upstairs jungo Jam Zack e yeah you're going to have to ice that ball screen or trap it somehow once this guy turns the corner it is dynamite at the rip 10 of their 11 points have come in the paintt we're all tied up Newton tight defense on the outside by Heidi screen cling it Newton will do it himself on a kick nice replay drills a triple they're so active without the basketball up on a play and a nice look 1411 Huskies Tristan Newton First Team all [Music] America fifth year transfer from East Carolina this is a little change now by the time ball screens trying and get this kid going to the ring and smth missed it on the layup not a good foul back there so a foul called after the Miss and RF a great set out of that timeout getting Smith downhill clinging coming over to try to help and the great one-w combination there Smith throwing it up you got somebody 74 just throw it by the rim but I love that set though getting Smith on that double screen downhill P has been efficient thus far but Brandon Smith Bren Smith has to have an impact on this game nice adjustment by painter foul call on Lance Jones Assan diara is in for Yukon Sixth Man of the Year in the Big East brings a little juice to the floor energy and a good look at this kid he's so Spencer quick denied by Ed knocked outside Dr they have 10 seconds to work [Applause] with rejected do not go in there on SA Ting a touch of Canada what's a feeling this is not Canada Dry this is Canada a juicy big fella oh my God the stretch and [Applause] cover Spencer takes it and misses it from Long Range Ed had it knocked out of his hands but he controls the average shop now isain Smith very clever once he turns the corner you got up by three a good job going under that far out Smith chipping here Fe it Edy against Clingan Edy with the touch and R just such great Poise right there captured the ball got the ball just surveyed everything took his time but also too the screen of Woll action of hitting the ball inside the edting that's what Matt painer has done adjustment wise with this offense this year eight points for Edy first time Edy off the play diara recognized it and he attacks the rim for two I mean multiple guys that can get downhill and make plays for Yukon so hard to defend Zach Edy doing most of the work so far in the scoring Department Ed's doing a nice job ducking in and beging Big Time Edy asking for it much better pushing him out nice step throw by e creativity and a chance at a three-point play boy he is serious this evening well they are going to him as Matt told all of us every trip if they can look at the step through little Up and Under goodness Gracies the ballerina at The Rim the slippery eel Kevin mcale right there and that's the first foul on kingan who will head to the Yukon bench and you giving up a lot of pounds and toughness too go Samson shop Locker Samson Johnson B aggressive he's much better on the ball screen side Ed has scored the last 11 points for Purdue you mentioned it WAP Samson Johnson the junior checks in for Yukon weard at 16 change here for Purdue miles cvin freshman from Indianapolis IN for the first time now yukon's got to get moving on the offensive nice steal here Smith hece passara lays it in Yukon

team on the glass and a foul is called on the floor Gillis giving it up to eating Yukon up by two over Purdue Battle of the Titans continues during that timeout Dan Hurley at Yukon was really working the officials and moments ago Tracy caught up with him you just said you have to get your blood pressure down I know a lot of frustration there how do you feel you guys have been handling the 11 points so far yeah you know what uh he's a tough cover you know we we're going to have to mix it up a lot more um and we got to force him off his spot a little bit we got to dig more we got to trap more uh what we're doing right now is not sustainable thank you and Tracy Jean stator is with us here at Phoenix Jee what are you seeing early on and how they're officiating the battle of the heavyweights it feels really well afficiated so far and I know Dan's kind of he went up in a little bit of intensity when kinging came off of the Court he went it over the back on Edy which I didn't think was a foul but he'll work them hard with clinging off he wants them to really watch Edy tight when clinging is not in there they're going right inside the weight and size disadvantage Johnson trying to extricate the big guy Ed from the block all of their field goes in edl a foul is called and that's going to be number two on Samson Johnson and Danny is going crazy over there bird champions live here on Max stream Major League Baseball the NBA playoffs the Stanley Cup playoffs and much more champions live here on Max the one to watch for live sports so that's it for Johnson in that short stin clinging back on the floor for Yukon just too strong Smith Goes to the bank you knew he was going to come back with a good game this kid is a terrific point guard we are tied at 18 11-minute Mark first half lot goes through Clint clingin scre greens out top there the activity they have not really been in motion as much Yukon there's that drop coverage Newton probing will take it missed it over Edy rebounded by cvin great look Purdue with a chance to take the lead the fade away doesn't go for Braden Smith uncontested board for Spencer and cling it right to the rim too makes the big guy work diara f it pass nice return diara blocked by Ed A B Block nice oh perfect pass laer Den it's Caravan what a hustle play and you noted that early he comes up with big stops diara he Nails the three 218 Yukon huskies have won 11 straight NCA tournament games by 13 points or more that is the longest streak all time Smith pass nice couldn't back it in but he follows it home foul number two I believe on Clingan oh no they give it other diara so it's diara picking it up celebrate the 2024 National Champion with officially licensed locker room te's hats and more for all your team apparel and accessories head to ncaa.com slsh and guys early on BR Smith putting a lot of pressure on the interior attacking getting downhill making clinging make a decision you set up hands there by E and then we spend a lot of time on the big guys but the perimeter people on both clubs they can be devastating creating finding people and finishing calman Ren back in Gillis sits cvin joins him on the Purdue bench Lance Jones returns for the boiler makers see nine attempts generally you game this kid got to keep him off the fouine last big 10 school to win the national championship Michigan State 24 years ago yuk come with a two-point lead over Purdue for some of us it doesn't seem that long but well you call Grant old right at the top of the show oh right bring him down to my level Stewart is in nice pass catch freshman gives it up kingan couldn't finish it and the rebound controlled by Edy that's what he does though intimidates now they're not shown on that ball screen Smith backer goes he got fouled too what a difference he's a bounceback guy he's a good attitude he is it's been such a productive point guard for Purdue so Savvy and controlled with his play we're tied to 21 a weave ball screen turned the corner and roll clinging out High excellent defense thus far down the five Castle short out of three Edy another board empty side here on the roll for Ren the pass catch and goes down hard as diara went up high and a lot of contact as he collided with Trey calman red and Smith Smith has done a great job running the show here a nice find the big time dive so that's number two on Hassan diara who took a sharp pop to the nose the other night in yukon's win against Alabama so piara with two Johnson with two and it's going to go the other way I believe Jones on the screen legal screen yeah so Lance Jones will pick it up that's number two on him so some foul issues on both sides Jones will head to the bench at the 832 Mark of this first half and Heidi checks in once again pretty good defense Heidi make some shots Yukon 32 and one in their last 33 non-conference games the only loss coming to Kansas now cl's got to make e oh you don't leave your feet off the deflection turnover Yukon one's got to get touches on the other make this guy work it's E I mean great seal the big fella runs to court Patience by Braden Smith and right now Edy is feeling it down low he has scored 14 of Purdue's 23 he's player of the year for a reason and he doesn't come out of the game no he is exhausted with that body body too screen for Castle fake on the jumper defense has been excellent by G Castle misses it right there by oh wow and here comes Bren Smith the other way for Purdue up by two Smith setting it up for a jump R he's had two of those that's his shot right there going right mid-range and again The Bigs are just dropping off in that coverage Newton drives in and he gets it to go off the window Ed looked tired right there didn't react he doesn't sit zck eting he plays every minute he's panting just a little bit we tied at 23 under 7 minutes to go in this first half going over the top o big scen crunching screen he walked good and they got it it's a travel on Edy and the third Purdue turnover we'll get a timeout everything we thought it would be with these two big guys battling for du and Yukon trying to win the national championship we're tied at 23 Matt you're doing exactly what you wanted to do offensively defensively how would you assess what you've seen so far yeah we've allowed him to get a little bit too deep on the drive you know three or four times and they've made some plays at The Rim we got to do a better job of keeping them out trying to get him into tougher twos appreciate it all right thank you they are holding Yukon to 45% from the field so this was the play here herley reacting to Zach Edy's screen Hurley was trying to make a point to the officials Edy had something to say on the way to his huddle and then Hurley had something to say to him how about that screen Jean you just saw it like we did yeah it's a good screen and my heart's getting warm watching Dan act the way he is I and it's bringing back memories good ones they're all good D they're all good CL lays it in and the foul and they took advantage right away of Ed being on the floor but even on the floor they got to get cling and go on that offensive end make the other guy work nice little setup seal nice identifying and pass so they're asking Caleb first to guard Donovan kingan with Zack Edy getting a breather and he hasn't played much really at all in the last three or four games but Smart Set there to get kinging going as you said bra be like asking you to guard Grant right now no no I might have a shot I have no cage lot of thought process going on by both teams in terms of matchups inside 2623 Yukon 628 to go in this first half lawyer circles Dr doesn't go TI in and cman ren will pick it up no matter who you're rooting for fan work is thirsty work is cop zero the best Coke ever try at the side so C Ren is first foul and T is back back on the floor Connecticut once in a while has played small with caraban at five I think the next time Ed does go out if he does go out give cling a little bit of a blow even though he is a factor against a smaller guy Zack Ed rested 33 seconds in the previous two games Castle he's in that second of the three first spin CL out by Ren the block on the inside and cleared by Edy Ren really puts pressure he's trying to bury Caravan in there that be a 3 seconds he hasn't left lawyer looks down low he's going to drive it lawyer the flip the roll tip in by Edy and Dan Hurley is beside himself and Zach Edy the best offensive rebounder in the country Dan Hurley yeah see a little gamesmanship there with the officials he has scored 16 of produced 45 points Yukon leads by one fake the hand off initially by kingan gets Caravan involved now it's Spencer for Yukon Spencer low dribble flips it up it goes how about that count it out foul called on the floor Spencer wanted the bucket I think he may have been right Jeffrey but they can get what they want on that drop defense that little foul line jumper well R for both teams with the bigs defensively that drop coverage that screen roll action or dribble handoff with the bigs that's going to be there for both sides foul called on Camden [Applause] Heidi here's kingan a baby hook goes for Donovan kingan I think he's got to be a factor on that offensive event a little more consistency make Edy work a little bit seven points for King it 2825 husk we approached 5 minutes to go first half lawyer feed the post then he said they were going to do some different things they haven't yet a little late off the rim no cman Ren trying to save and he sprawls over the photographers I think that would have been his ball [Applause] anyhow I'm not sure but once again clinging great defense there and battling inside caraban a beautiful [Applause] blockout love that effort there if you're Matt payer right away Ren's activity on both ends is he's tough and Matt told me two years ago this kid is going to be a big time Big 10 player desper was that a block or a charge on the photographer 2825 nice Cut Newton lays it in and lost his footing that old Carolina cut right there everybody lifted little step and go 30 to 25 Newton now with nine points to lead the huskys is a 9-2 run Smith using the screen from Edy he loves that little elbow C and ren in a crowd he tried to do it with the off hand and it's out of bounds last Touch by Yukon nine to shoot and the presence of kingan right there Ren indecisive down low a little short on that hook shot but yeah this pass right here dribble at the man great back door cut you know they've worked on this the misdirection multiple options on this offensive youon [Applause] great execution Jones and Gillis check back in for Purdue 419 to go first half Husky's up by five but they are bodies falling Ed doesn't go and the rebound controlled by Castle he'll push the tempo and this is when they're tough with that early look oh Caravan wants it misses on a three ball boxs out by Edy hesitated just a little bit the traffic clear 16 points five rebounds two blocks for Zack Edy out of Toronto Ontario here's lawyer on the Move got a little body bump and it's out of bounds off of lawyer Spencer wins the case 349 to play in this first half and Yukon on top of Purdue by five 30 to 25 Yukon in front the headline here has been the Battle of The Bigs and to get deep enough you it's impossible to stop this guy he's got a touch great determination how about that athleticism and Clin I think has got to get more opportunities at that basket make keep guard make them stunt a little bit maybe get some outside looks and keep their motion going game summary Edy is seven of 11 the rest of Purdue is four of 13 you think back to a year ago when fdu beat Purdue Shock the World 16 seat over a one their philosophy he was hey we'll let Zach Edy do all the work we just can't let the other guys hurt us and it worked well it worked but the other guys have improved they got better in the off season Braden Smith lawyer Gillis all came back a better three-point shooting team and a tougher team this season number two in the country in three-point shooting just behind Kentucky and Yukon really I get a little motion out they usually click spurts screens slips good defense right now it has it has been tou Castle the flo here goes he can Elevate over most and that is the first two of the night for the Freshman from cumington Georgia Stefon cassle this is his job tonight right here contain the point guard this is the largest lead of the night seven Smith they give him the dri and he makes it from the outside what a good move using that bump too oh no question he's missed two of those earlier but that's his game right there where he's so efficient let's check in with Tracy I and D and Hurley during that time out the pace of the game is ours keep playing fast like we want it run Edy make him tired constant support for Donovan playing in the Huddle raising him saying keep wearing him down and it's an offensive foul on Stefon Castle turnover Yukon ran out of room really and Jones putting that foot on that Baseline and Dan Hurley is saying that's a flop I I think it's a good call I think it's a good call too but once again not running their sets trying to do a little bit too much oneon-one there good defense and risky for Jones playing with two fouls it worked in his favor this is the guy that makes great entry passes Purdue has taken one three-pointer in this first half they missed it there's that dribble handle off the screen as well tough match here I think for Caravan keep the dribble alive and go going to ISO him Smith against caraban High screen Ed Smith's going to take it On Target he must have heard you he must have heard you this kid is a bounce back performer gutsy tough minded we are close to the court Brant there's a chance maybe Braden Smith is listening he Nails the three to cut the Yukon lead to two we have just over two minutes to go first half timeout the student section is delivered by Pizza Hut the official Pizza of March Madness why don't they share Bren Smith Smith one of nine from the field on Saturday in Purdue's win in the National semi-finals against NC State today he is four of seven from the field and yesterday rap and I sat with him and uh while somebody was relaxing by the pool and he talked about you know he was upset like he was mad at his performance agitated and you knew that he was going to come out and compete here tonight he was relaxing at the pool with an umbrella in the glass that's right pull temperature was same shot every time Newton gets it out of the timeout this is something Dan Hurley has done all season you just Bank on those things as a coaching staff the the only one thing I would say negative he's got to coach and relax little heated with the officials on a heck of a coaching job throughout his stay up there lawyer outside Gillis forget it inside too deep edow couldn't finish it he had too much on it clinging a factor and Gillis with high jump offall and rap how many times have we seen Edie get the ball that close to the rim and not be able to score great defense there by kingan possession arrow remains on this end stay tuned AT&T at the half EJ and the rest of the gang all the highlights the breakdown of our first half it's all coming up on AT&T at the half Gillis again second offensive rebound terrific at that end laer couldn't get it in cleanly decides to take the time out Yukon up by four a minute 33 to play in the first half tournament summary number one seeds meeting in the championship game for the 10th time in tournament history fifth National Championship featuring The Big 10 against the Big East 14.4 average margin of Victory this tournament second highest since the tournament expanded to 64 teams Purdue is trying to become the sixth Big 10 school to win a national champ Championship Legend Hall of Famer Jean Katy is here he also has a p on the back of his head a large PE that they put just to show support for Purdue he's all in that's something ra would do committ it graap has an r on the back of his and you have a dollar sign the back of yours how about that defense there by caran block had a couple the other night as well 3430 Yukon in front we come up on 1 minute to go in this first half movement that's what they need use the ball screen Newton's been excellent nice hands and he coughs it up another jump they can't be no they go the other [Applause] way and that offense not quite as precise from Yukon as were're accustomed to seeing and they hadn't switched the possession arrow they didn't they didn't switch it from earlier remember Purdue had gotten it on the tie up correct and even though Matt painer is trying to tell the officials the arrow is pointing in his Direction Jeffrey Anderson is handling it at the table Yeah he was explaining that Gillis was tied up at the other end didn't it organized yes so now this is correct they just did not switch the arrow okay Roger SS just came over to confirm it good team player got to find that guy 9 seconds left on the shot clock Newton will toss it in yeah use cling it the screen gaz's just zoning up in there flip it make that oh he's going to take it it missed it nice rebound it's Spencer now it's castle one on one freshman against freshman cvin Spencer is the meat and potato guy of this team what do you need coach Newton slashes in couldn't over Ed somehow smacked into the basket for that castle Yeah with that left hand and come up a little limp 3630 Huskies look at it double oh not a good look intercepted not a good look there there's a 3se second difference shot clock the game clock winding down in this first half Yukon has won 45 consecutive games when leading at halftime going back to last season they've got a six-point Advantage here High screen Caravan Newton now with five to shoot Spencer off the pin Spencer steps in oh rims out look lawyer tosses it and that's how the half will end what a great design on that play for that look the number one overall seed Yukon looking to go back to back they've got a 36 to3 lead over the number one seed in the midwest purd send it over to Tracy well since we last spoke you've done a good job on eating what more do you need to see though for the second half I I really like the pace of the game I think the pace of the game right now probably favors us a little bit um I think we're forcing them to play a little faster than they're used to so hopefully we can keep that pace on them and wear him down late thank you all right Tracy Newton with 11 to lead Yukon eting with 16 the high Man Four perue end of the first half for the national Championship 3630 the Huskies on top of the boiler makers will send you to AT&T at the half with EJ and the Gang after these messages 74423 here at State Farm Stadium third highest in NCA championship history let's take a look at our Home Depot first half stats points in the paint Yukon winning that category getting some points from the bench I and Eagle gr Hill Bill rafter Tracy Wilson Jean stator with us National championship game obviously the big men that was the headline going into this game but the three-point line has been a non-factor for Purdue because Yukon can stay at home against zachi let's take a look at how the two Big Fellas have fared so far who cares about threes when you have these kind of bigs right away Edy running the court they reward him good defense better offense and then they alley you Ed establishing himself early I think really did a nice adjustment C us Clint moving him outside for screening i' like to see him get more touches against Ed in a low box so Ed got off to the hawk start he was quiet over the final 8 minutes of the first half seven of 12 from the field five rebounds kinging two fouls remember they went to Samson Johnson at one point and Johnson picked up two quickies and bird I think the big concern of offer D now is the spurt as Clark spurt ability yes uh dangerous Yukon on the offense check in with Tracy talking with Matt payer coming out of the locker room he just felt like towards the end of that first half they weren't efficient enough especially Ed and he said he's going to his left doing a good job but he'd like him to go more to his right more in terms of trying to get some threes he's still wants them to drive into the basket but they're they're not on two feet kick it out and try and establish something Beyond The Ark so the three-point shooting Tracy something we just mentioned in that first half limited to just one they've been averaging eight 8.4 per game so far Ed first 12 minutes 14 points since that stretch he scored only two kingan just the one foul he did sit with the one foul that's when Johnson came in picked up two so kingan was right back on the floor and I am Purdue not getting threes because Yukon staying at home clinging playe straight up and did a pretty good job there the last eight minutes really doing a nice job of the nine nice stuck and look at the clink oo goodness cling is had his arm held I thought on that particular play but he's got to get over the top on this duckhead he can't be lazy he's got to get in here the hook and hole got to get jean on that one goodness so that is the second foul on cling Ed couldn't finish it with the left hand rebounded by cling in a physical manner get it up the floor Spencer one-onone with lawyer well they've done a nice job in transition D we can get that whole game comes up short an offensive rebound the activity Newton full TI big timee offensive rebound kick out I just love the activity of clinging great defense on one end and then great effort leading to that three-point shot by the big fell 14 now for Newton to lead Ukon you talked about the spur ability you can feel it from the Huskies 3930 nice hands again deflection step in Castle hitting the deck Jones to save it got a foul this called on the floor maybe it ISC Spencer how about Jones diving for that ball cling in great effort and then the ability to find the open shooter percentages are high Second Chance three-point opportunities and then like looking like a fumble right there going for it understanding what's at stake both teams getting dirty first foul on cam Spencer nine-point lead for Yukon just underway in the second half and this is where they up I they get that little drop defense to get a look and the duck oh he tried to crank it got to shoot that hook lost control of it yeah slipped out of His Hands Newton the handles the jumper off the rim and the rebound taken off the floor by Jones look at this play almost an interception cancel Smith catches up to it early offense cman Ren fake and lay in they wanted the travel cling in bought the fake and then flew by on the Block attack and that was a smart shot fake by right there by Ren so Trey cman Ren who's got ability around the rim very Savvy little Shuffle cut points of the paint all tied up seven-point lead for Yukon this is their activity here Castle a jump shot Off the Mark nice rebound gang rebounding it's Lance Jones they play small he's got to do that be an impact CLA on the glass Smith shifting gears Smith will take it rims out on the jumper look at the transition D they have been able to force the hip nice pass by Spencer and it's bouncy castle on the inside the Cross Match right there Castle taking advantage the smaller Smith Gardener how about the Sprint two to get down there almost a 10-sec call right there they got a foul oh no it's going the other way calman Ren trying to set up against Caravan a little frustration venting and this is where you got to be concerned right now for your Purdue relax get comfortable go to your strength at the other end put some stops together at this end Purdue entered action number two in the country and assist 18.7 per game they have four tonight he he not guarding anybody Newton lets it fly rebound cling it knocks it to the outside great effort there by C Ren but he couldn't track it down five on four right now Castle contact and it's a blocking foul on Jones o I don't know R I'm with you this angle it looked like Jones was there you want to go to Jean dealer's choice we can go to Jean right now right away Jean what do you think I'm going to go with a charge on it I didn't think Lance Johnson moved much I felt like he was stable the left foot moves a little but he's firmly there when he makes Castle makes the Euro he makes the contact to me that's an offensive that's going to be number three on Lance Jones we're going to get you a referee's fee and no travel are you going to mention for DM again R is off the mark from Castle he shoots it at 76% Heidi will check in along with Gillis and now Jones sits with those three fouls he's joined by calman Ren on the Purdue bench rap you talked about Yukon dangerous time for Purdue Yukon turning the screws coming out at half they just have to settle down get into their offense get the ball inside to Edy and of course the stops defensively a must the premise of the Yukon program is when defensive rebounding they've grown as we said the on the offensive end they can put it together and that was a ball don't lie situation based on Jean's opinion that it should have been offensive lawyer feed it edting missed it major highlight from Heidi how about that wow Heidi seek Big Time attack no as a shooter Defender was that athletic Camden Heidi going way upstairs for the jam and that just shot an electricity bolt through this crowd Spencer doesn't go rebound Castle's there can't get it on the first clean up and he put it over e I think it was caran that kept that alive to get it to ccel good hustle 80 started the night seven of n he's missed his last six Shots by low look at them load up oh steps oh no you got one on the floor so the foul will be called clinging upset Camden Heidi living up to his last name looks Heidi for the jam looks like 30 years ago G Hill reg big time it's time to connect to the madness with the house of highlights fan Camp powered by AT&T 5G good action early from Zack Ed great look from the stands diara with that rainbow three it's been a fun one here in the national championship it's been 55 years since Purdue has been in the national title game yuk is trying to win consecutive trophies last 10 minutes for Ed no points one rebound and clinging out of the game with three fouls so expect a double team you of course open opportunities for shooters for Purdue Johnson trying to guard they double with Spencer it's right through the hands of Heidi and that is a back court violation again the double workers are not accustomed to it either all game well an aggressive double team right there Spencer really attacking I know he's giving up a lot of size but jumping in the air an Aon pass right there bad catch and also the rotation by Yukon too maybe he did catch it they were right at home Yukon can bring this lead to double figures and this is where they got to use Johnson screening just a Zone in the back and that's what got missed it from the outside rebound knocked out of bounds off of Smith check in with Tracy Matt painer during that timeout we need to play physical this is not the time to play soft we can't get stops we can't get the ball we are going to keep feeding it into Edy over and over the fouls are W it up slams and Johson that's what he does he rolls beautifully acrobatic in the air and again that drop defense is painful at times for Purdue Yukon up by 11 Edy off the double nice recovery by Spencer they were looking for the repost instead it's going to be the kill of three wa off Spencer trying to grab it controlled by Purdue they got a foul contact the other way fouled on Edy Edy got in there on Spencer off the rebound action how about that little roll again the ability to Sprint he is quick he shows great on ball screens and Newton's just solid player [Applause] experienced that is the first foul on on Zack Edy Yukon leads it 45-34 and Johnson just busy 's going to have to make something coming out a little bit this should open up some Cuts comes to the ball another one special delivery to Johnson he's so fast so fourman playing the five that slipped to the basket twice in a row there but on this in Ed's got to get the ball and go at Johnson 11 assists now for the Husky just three turnovers Purdue stuck in mud here and really solid D this trip Edy turn he's fouled by Johnson all right that's going to be number three on Samson Johnson that is just gorgeous basketball Johnson very busy with screens and rolls and finishes at The Rim but who's the Catalyst Tristan Newton experience prevailing so Zach Ed is going to the free throw line where he is two of three six straight tournament games with at least 20 points 10 rebounds first player to do it in March Madness history Jones back in and W the way that Yukon is defending this team I mean Zack Edy may have to try to go for 40 points like he did in the Elite 8 against Tennessee no one else really able to get going because of that pressure defensively on the perimeter and they're going to double him on the catch that's what they have to do they help Johnson out they got somebody stepping in early lane violation so Ed three to make two I think Ed's got to go quick you know the double teams coming catch it and go and try to and go away from it exactly these are his first points in 11 minutes of game action and he cans a pair Yukon leads by 11 they're going to ride Johnson with the screens move screens slips this this is their motion offense terab and it Ricochet over to Spencer he's going to take it rebound Johnson hits the deck and a push right they got Edy I believe Johnson's activity bothering Edy here it is Edy head to bleacher report for the latest episodes of from the point by Trey young featuring the basketball Stars conversations with aess guests and his unique perspective on stories from around the league download The Bleacher Report app now to watch now the speed of Johnson's been a problem for edting second foul on Ed triggers in Johnson gets a moving screen four that might be his fourth yeah so Samson Johnson back four and Clingan is going to replace it yeah kept moving and this is where clinging is great on that particular screen he never fouls that's just a little inexperience he Gates that opportunity clinging back in playing with three [Applause] fouls see if they play straight up now Smith that one go zini and they are going to count it it looked like clingan's hand went up through the cylinder there you're right Goen and call there was a moment there where Edy was ready to explode clevel saying he wasn't at fault but anytime you take that net and rim and that violation that possession though Braden Smith getting downhill really the first time this half we seen him put pressure on the paint nine-point game edting now with 20 points six rebounds two blocks way outside King it hand off Newton on the move driv and kick Caravan contact no call Spencer penetrates and the scop goes chastic how about him extending oh this kid he has some ticker in fi he's more than just a shooter no nine points now for cam Spencer out of Davidsonville marn Edie there's the double Spencer and they got a foul for the yeah Edie didn't see Spencer right right there Spencer has been the designated Trapper but look at this move here just attacked the big fella that extension extend Elevate kind of hung in the air a little bit suspended there great touch and you know a fantastic shootter three-pointer but man he's just a basketball player fun to watch and he's always looking at this end of the floor sniffing to see if he can help on the post Smith swing it Gillis Edy Remy out oh nice rebound again contact from behind Mason Gillis he knows how to sell it too well that was right at the rim for Edy as well Spencer just has a nose for the ball right there you know Gillis is one of the best at attacking the offensive class he's always got the ball in his head yesterday at the meeting he had it before the game he goes to the ref he wants a piece of it even when the team was in the locker room he's out here with the ball shooting the only one on the floor Spencer now has eight rebounds to go along with those nine points now Danny said he wants this badly and he thinks that's the edge that he has brought to this team this year handed off Spencer screen kinging caraban the Fate plays Five to shoot Newton trying to make it happen stop and go Newton long strides flips it in he just challenged Edy for the bucket and one I'm not sure how he got that I don't either past Edie there 16 points for Tristan Newton it's a 13-point cushion for Yukon and this is typical Yukon you got to stem the tie now go to the rim right away there Edy double team pass it Corner gold can't hit the three good rebounder two Newton it up 10 threes on Saturday night they have one tonight Caravan short ball Spencer they got a foul though it will be Spencer but who's in there it's him it's him he's everywhere talking about one Tristan Newton takeover mode late in the shot clock 5138 Yukon starting Thursday watch Masters live exclusive coverage of Amen Corner 15 and 16 featured groups watch it live on the CBS Sports app want to take this moment to recognize our boss CBS Sports chairman Shawn mcmanis he's retiring next week after the Masters Shawn has overseen every final four since 1997 we wish him the best we wouldn't be here without him and this incredible partnership with TNT Sports Sean thank you for everything that you have

oh goodness an air ball on the free throw so that he is a big Duke fan you would say that oh no question a wasted opportunity there for Purdue on the free throw Edy hearing it from the crowd 5138 Yukon in front and R this is the type of time of the game Yukon control they'll just run their sets wear you down and have multiple guys who can make plays down the into of the clock Smith trying to get it Dives for it the effort by Smith and he saves it for edting that's what they got to do great hustle Jones shake and bake shows it bounces Ed he Trav that's nice job by clinin stayed big hands up not reaching down but if we do once to get back into it's got to be on the defensive end make it a Nitty Gritty tough hard nose game I mean clinging the best post defender in the nation his length just be big make Ed score over length and you're right he is really frustrated Eve he have not seen that in this postseason from anyone Purdue has eight points in the half they've turned it over eight times tonight just four assists a lot of teams don't have a guy like Clingan that's true right his special clinging way outside and he loves to screen and help his teammates cast drives Castle he just forced that a little bit but it's Tracked Down by Newton shot talk it's winding down now jper doesn't go diara Ed and guls it he came from Deep too eighth cor of the night for Zack Edy got to get others to light it of besides Ed Smith THS the foul on diara number four not mistaken and that was Savvy right there Smith kind of initiated the action threw his arms into diara right there but maybe this will get him going really nothing offensively for Purdue give credit to the defense of Yukon man Castle has been terrific oh on Smith Braden Smith 80% shooter Mr basketball in the state of Indiana I love this kid's Moxy reminds me a little you bird when you were younger probably nasty tough to get along with so you're saying I've improved yes you have come a long way but because you see like he's going to beat you this kid he's not going he's going to fight you he's a quintessential play guard M 12 points five rebounds 7 and A2 assists over one and a half steals per game yukon's lead is 11 we approach the Midway point of this second half the national championship game Glendale Arizona they are not as busy when Spencer is out of the game diara slips through two Defenders working around the perimeter for Newton spin Newton seven to shoot double from covin it leaves Caravan open what a f by Newton hey R you make a mistake they make you pay they do they're so unselfish and this is the largest lead of the night for Yukon husky trying to go back to back you don't want to foul that far out of here clink it lawyer takes it in good defense and it bangs off the side of the backboard break opportunity Newton to diara right down finally lays it in how about the Huskies the defensive presence of Caravan they bite you with a fast break and they control the half court give it up big time dipy do diara for two want more basketball trivia just ask Siri what coach has the most college basketball championships who is John wouldn't I'm playing jeopardy with [Applause] Siri hurly family of Champions just incredible what they've accomplished Bob Hurley senior 26 New Jersey high school state titles Bobby Hurley back-to-back national championships with Duke Dan Hurley Champion as a head coach last year with Yukon they're like the rapt three fan do everywhere well on my block maybe they multiply but I mentioned the other night the Hoops hot bet on the Hutson a book he said that they are the first family of basketball in America truly said out the timeout eating backs it in and they needed that he has to establish himself like he did in the first half really been affected by the length of clinging and the double teaming that they had there in the second half here from Ukon B this is the end they got to get going if they want to win it that was their first field goal in four minutes of action and they Trail Yukon by 14 we are under 9 minutes to go Spencer getting the blow here those foul difficulties Caravan fur go without it as well he keeps busy Caravan using the clinging screen replace Castle got a three about that they do that as well as anybody in the country just so comfortable as the shot clock gets low they make the right play the right read so confident so good this feels like the same script for Yukon really does they could just take over the game Smith Off the Mark clinging the board nice job screening off too Newton was tremendous in the national championship last year 19 points 10 rebounds spin it kicked Caravan Fe it Castle wow in and out rebounded by cin Ren got to get back nice cvin the catch tough angle will back it out we are under 8 minutes to play got hit he thought he had all ball cling it and that's number four on Donovan Clingan the coaches are into it Hurley painter we had a total eclipse don't look up Dan game summary this half Purdue is four of 14 from the field one of four from three-point territory in the game I Eagle gr Hill Bill rafter Tracy Wolfson Jean stator our producer Mark wolf director Mark Grant there's just an air of invincibility right now with this husky team it really is it's been impressive to watch they kind of just defensively can take it to another level frustrated the national Player of the Year and really Dan Hurley you talked about the identity of this team we're seeing it on display on the defensive end this half they're unselfish and UND defensiv and they communicate well has just coach this half by the way have you noticed not a lot of complain just got into the the game itself and you think Bob Hurley Senor texted him at half time being a man that led the nation in technicals he's given a lot of credit to his wife Andrea for balancing him out recognizing that he needed that in his life nice little change off the timeout the Press Castle ahead Newton attack slam doesn't go for Johnson not catch it and finish it so Clinging On The Bench for Yukon with four fouls Smith feed it rocks the ramp did he make him disappear I mean oh you're saying there was an eclipse what total put your glasses on I like this pressure now from and this is a team that won't go away a tough team to press with the multiple decision makers on the floor for Yukon though so the lead is thir for Yukon we are going to hit the 7-minute mark of this second half Johnson the cutter what a slip what a what a setup the deployment and in the nose and Reed jman 6146 [Applause] Huskies tip out of bounds Spencer creates it it's incredible this kid I'm telling you what he has done with this program his insertion attitude understanding of the game he's an extension of Dan hurle they say he's very similar to Dan Hurley with his language he oh wait a second competitive competitive language remember he did play Purdue when he was in the Big 10 with ruers and lawyer is called for the foul on castle with this summer The targaryens the iron throne and the biggest show on TV we are back season 2 of the HBO original series House of the Dragon premieres June 16th only on Max Ander Danny blames Spencer for some of his excitement it's a spillover effect he claims that painer thought Spencer was over the line and then brought it back to Purdue fan section reacted bouns ITC yeah he was not going to try it on Ed plenty of time on the shot clock cvin defending the crafty Newton castle at that iceo on the P they hav got that out a Newton the shake off and the jumper doesn't goce rebound Caravan offensive rebound reload here for Yukon and Castle they're all so smart and they'll continue to just use clock 14 offensive boards for Yukon tonight they're outrebounding Purdue 33- 24 they grind you till you slip and sleep castle that's clever attacking the big man Castle his aggressiveness Yukon they just come at to him waves 13 points for the Freshman Stefon castle that Relentless nature of Dan Hurley this team possesses way outside Edy to lawyer the need buckets doesn't go and a rebound foul called fifth one I think or no see who they get it on there was a crowd there on the interior Johnson playing with four fouls and that is the quota yeah I thought it was [Applause] him you have to give him credit he's come in and played well his energy his speed MH and that beginning of the second half when kingan went out really gave him a lift with his activity out there and use his fouls wisely yeah Johnson he does want to leave he doesn't want to come out I wouldn't want to come out either hey you know the commercial we talking about nobody fronts 80 and a lot of coaches out there probably say High School coaches and why don't they you can't get around him once he loads up the legs are so powerful well people I mean he's 74 but he's 300 P I mean he's an immovable object out there on the floor certainly difficult to defend so now Yukon is going to go very small that's caraban shifting over to the center spot they're protecting Clingan with the four fouls caravan's parents are going to send the note to Danny I didn't sign up for he's going to be defending the big fella 26 points nine rebounds for Edy this also could present problems for Purdue on the offensive end Edy having to guard caraban who can stretch the floor Z he'll just Zone up though I think don't you yeah well he will but I mean who is he going to guard they may go a little Zone maybe 538 to play Purdue has not shown the ability to stop Yukon and without stops they're not going to get back into it Spencer ahead Newton they'll take it if it's there if not they'll grind you a body bump there from Heidi 15 to shoot there's the blur screen setup screen rescreen e on diara there it is again Spencer stops pops yes sir wow got some stuff Spencer for higher goodness gracious is his kid T 6547 Huskies 18-point lead he's fighting him Caravan Ed muscle caran actually had a point though he took a pop on that move from Edy who now has 29 he's going to need a facial toar wow Eddie you guard this guy please Mom come help me coming up next on TBS inside March Madness presented by Buick EJ and the guys that'll have postgame analysis Trophy presentation and of course One Shining Moment all coming up most points single NCA tournament Zack Edy has just passed Elvin Hayes now behind Glenn rice and Bill Bradley Elite company rarified air there for that young man and he's been so dominant this tournament still a quiet 29 and they have not gotten enough from the others right no well again that this is a key Point don't give up any threes even if he gets it in and knocks him down look at that pick this apart Jones three points lawyer no points calman Ren four points and Smith has chipped in with 11 there's no easy out takes alert he didn't need that right there early in the shot clock you know Ed's guarding you and he just walked away on that shot 427 to go Heidi feeds it e missed it rebounded by diara that's easy for him too maybe too easy yeah maybe 6549 Yukon with four minutes to go and bird they use car on the screen because of the drop defense Newton fend off shot clock down to three Newton steps in and draws the foul on 's so clever isn't he free throws coming up chance to repeat for the team from stores Connecticut Yukon in the driver's seat in Arizona right now let's take a look at the Capital One rewarding performance well a lot of has been in the paint for Yukon not shooting great from the three but attacking going at Ed getting high percentage shots downhill it's been multiple guys in transition half court offense a total team effort which Dan Hurley has preached to his guys all season and you were a recipient of a lot of assists from Bobby Hurley many years ago and they have 16-6 in that category they moved the ball they spread it there's no easy out either they they play the right way they do and if you combine what we saw on Saturday night and tonight you're talking about 36 assists nine turnovers for Yukon they got it done against Alabama that was a tight game they were tested they trailed in that game 4 minutes and 18 seconds and that doesn't sound like a lot of time for Yukon that's an eternity unaccustomed of course Gino had a great run too where this year lost in the semis there I think these programs are alive and well up in husky last team to go back to back Florida 0607 before that Duke this man Grant Hill a part of that Squad it just doesn't happen an off what's been incredible is how they've done it I mean pure dominance the closest as you said that alab game now up 18 with less than four minutes left and they won the Alabama game of 14 a trip it's going to work against diara Florida 0607 Billy Donovan leading that team the other part it was the same team basically coming back well same with us in in the early '90s this team is a little bit different he lost three guys to the NBA they went professional you got guys in new roles new players cam Spencers Stefon Castle but the same principles the same focus and determination that Dan Hurley has really emphasized and the way they have been able to execute it's really been quite extraordinary the same coach and he changed this summer no defensive principles all about offense to catch up with his defense what I love when he talked to us yesterday was How He adjusted the offense a bit to the Personnel it's not about a system it's about the players and figuring out what works for these players and his worked masterful Ed bir air grant told me he's the one that really made Mike Shashi yeah he did say the name he became I heard that well I mean technically Duke you know didn't win [Laughter] till coach don't let Raph come between us okay 11 straight tournament wins by at least 13 points it's never been done before Jones feed it to Gillis they're going to stay at home 8 steps in for two caraban may have to go to the orthodontist this is over but hey guys Purdue they made 10 three-pointers Saturday night they've only made one you can't stand at home game play yeah he has scored 31 puru 52 points so the strategy philosophy has worked to a te Edy gets his nobody else does major damage we're going to hit the three-minute mark uh a warning Danny went out of the coach's box there trying to communicate with Cam Spencer see this good appreciating though both coaches oh he touched the player he pushed his guy yes right there he thought he was at practice ball oh my goodness he thought he was at White Eagle Hall that we're dead started those great s St Anthony programs nice Jones blocked by Spencer Edy on a kick Jones penetrates gets the roll on the inside timeout Matt Painter nice drive of course Edy occupies people as well 13-point game 246 to play for the national championship defending national champions Yukon got better from their Championship season a year ago win total Point per game differential the seed going into the tournament number one overall seed last year they plowed through the competition to win the national championship they've actually improved upon that this year and they got a speed team in here for defense you can't be careless got to step through the pass cut in a distinctive fashion and screen as well watch the Trap Yukon up by 13 oh Nichols Zer here Smith called for the foul behind Newton and that's tough Purdue had a great trap he did Lance Jones rotated there and obviously the last thing Matt payner wanted in that situation fouling on that inbounds pass and to it shoots 80% as well Matt painer in his 19th year as the head coach at Purdue he went to Purdue worked under Jean Katy took over the head coaching job has done a tremendous job with this program finally getting to the final four so validation there advancing to the national championship game and right now they're in a big hole they are but we we were talking before the game just how impressive he stayed within the state recruiting guys locally and just consistent with his philosophy his game plan obviously went to that heartbreak last year but this team has regrouped and played great ball and put themselves in position and the only additions Lance Jones out of a factor basis but he the history of Southern Illinois the connection Smith looking to drive in 11 players on this roster from the state of Indiana is not one of them as he puts it down hard against kingan and kingan couldn't do anything four fouls right there 33 points nine rebounds for Zack Edy but you would go to Toronto for a guy like Ed I mean you go out of state for somebody like that yeah I think so was schol here in the states he played at IMG Academy but he was a backup he was not a heralded recruit and right there cam Spencer calling a timeout but went to the corner to call it and I don't think Dan Earley was pleased with that but Ed talk telling us yesterday I think you asked where were you at the final four last year was it a B&B Airbnb right it was nil yeah Dre just a great kid and we've had the opportunity to get to know him and how he's helped lead this team this season bringing them back here it's going to go down as an all-time great collegiate career for Zach Edy where he was to where he ended up with this Purdue program two straight national Player of the Year Awards for Edy who knows what the future holds for Edy someone's going to take an interest some someone's going to see a fit for him on their roster in the NBA I mean his improvement from from day one and look he he played at IMG he was a Backup backup in high school how about that L by the way those names incredible impressive 74300 Zack Edy by him and his boiler maker teammates are down by 13 with 214 to go and look at him on the inbound when he puts his arms up he blocks out the whole section Caravan will toss it in 19 on the shot clock they go to the back court for Newton what amazes me with Yukon they can run when they have to and they run their sets quickly and sharply and eat up a lot of clock while doing it screen cling it Caravan takes the Baseline cling it yes and how about Caravan silently contributes to the cause 7156 Yukon contaste it Smith drives in couldn't finish slammed down by Edy 140 on the clock got be careful a couple of mistakes Spencer ahead Castle no rush for Yukon foul Smith 131 to play you know when the game was a game tenuous Castle's the one that took Smith out of it who had played very well early well we saw him even on Saturday night play Sears very tough made him work for everything and defensively the physicality the taking that challenge and Smith got off a little bit there in that first half early but has been silent here in the second half in large part because of Castle he has that physical profile it stands out at 66 215 lbs and he's a legit 66 oh no I mean we we saw him visited with him yesterday and surprised at his size when you look at this Yukon game I asked you who is the MVP tonight I mean everybody contri that's them in a nutshell it exactly Newton's been terrific kingan did his job spener did his job Ed's got two more as he flushes it down and and even on that possession they're still guarding the three-point line Yukon C up the twos 37 for Zack Edy first player since 1989 John Morton of seen Hall with 35 points or more in the title game under a minute to go sort of feel it the crowd what a magnificent run this has been Yukon fans on their feet behind head coach Dan Hurley shot clock down to four Caravan Flo it clinging exclamation for point with a l Ah that's typical of their approach who's ever open gets it 40 seconds left air ball and now Dan Hurley is going to get the subs [Applause] in celebration in stores celebration in Phoenix no time out he just keep playing let the party get started he is one heck of a coach with a talented group of unselfish players what he has done with this program all started and they differentiated themselves from the other national championship teams at Yukon with this back toback but Dan Hurley impressive incredible another guy from SE with an amazing pedigree and insight into this game PJ you and now Danny PJ and Danny best point differential in tournament history Yukon a dominant Force tribute to hard work bird Ross is in so is rag Glo Andrew Hurley is in along with Solomon ball 7 second difference sh off the game clock Danny said hold it mat said no go run it don't worry about it I'm not offended Andrew Hurley is not going to run

basketball Powerhouse they are oh without a doubt men and women by the way you know South Carolina's been on a fantastic front but this is a legit Big Time approach on a consistent basis sixth National crown for the Yukon Huskies Dan Hurley will enter a Pantheon of coaches that is a select group let him go be so young you have a feeling a lot left he will be joining you someday in the Hall of Fame no question about it his parents Bob and Chris his wife Andrea his kids one of his sons Andrew on the team to experience it together and they had an x on their back the entire year absolutely

for this team to be able to accomplish that yeah I mean you can't even wrap your mind around it cuz you just know how hard how hard this tournament is and uh what a special group of people a special coaching staff uh an incredible group of players the best group of players you could possibly do it with and Yukon you know Yukon a special place this time of year and they give us all the resources we need uh to do it like this in March and April you lost a lot L of guys after last year's team and then just replenished and you can't even pick an MVP for this game cuz everyone contributes what is it about this team that made it so special this year yeah I mean we just recruit we recruit uh you know really talented NBA players um that are are willing to not make it about thems and uh to be a part of a winning group and to go for go for all the Championships and uh while doing that their their draft stock still is really really high so uh we there's uh we we both win Yukon wins and the players win for you to be synonymous with the names wooden and Shashi and Donovan as back-to-back coaches what does that mean to you means a lot um cuz cuz I'm a I'm a student of the game I'm you know basketball's been my life and I got so much respect for the history of this game and uh you know makes you I know me and Luke Murray had some talk about if we won this one maybe we'll both retire on Tuesday so this could be it for me and Luke oh come on that can't be true no that's all thank you so much we're ready we're ready thinking I think it's it's prop Tracy got a scoop apparently for Bill
