Martin, Tyler Jones, Ari Russell, Deshaun Tate and Matt Zemek. And, they go in depth on why the Huskies have been unbeatenable this March, just like last March. 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.

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?
