Is Hurley a good coach or just had a loaded roster with those Championships?

I don't think there's any doubt he's a good coach. There's also no doubt he's a huge, self congratulatory prick. Everyone but UConn fans love to see him lose

Connecticut took 3 L's in Maui

 

[Lukusw]

UConn's 4 wins are against teams that are currently 7-25.

Clingan made things a LOT easier on Hurley imo. Underappreciated in college

In a game that meant jack s***. You seem to be treating like a real loss. And you're apparently thinking everyone else are the crazy ones when again...that game meant absolutely nothing.

Who gives a s*** we lost an exhibition game? Do you get upset when Orange beats White in the O&W Game?

I do. Poor White always gets the shaft from the officials. I’m bringing mustard next year!

 

[hUTch2002]

Damn, @VolsSportsFan , bringing the receipts. I agree we were not trying to win, this year. But, last year we did try at Michigan State and everybody bragged about it, on here

Fair point about last year. I remember that as well.

They have a loaded roster, they could still get a good seed.

Is Kansas the favorite now?

Auburn killed it in Hawaii. They will be a tough out. Pearl continues to put together winners.

He puts together good teams and done well as far as conference champions and SECT winners but outside of his pretty miracle FF run in 2019, he's not made it out of the first weekend of the NCAAT at Auburn. So I'm going to pump the brakes before I see if this Auburn team is like the majority of the rest of his.

We may have tried but also remember that ZZ and Vescovi didn’t play. Although ZZ came off the injury, he started the regular season and would play in any meaningful game. Knecht and Gainey just played really well.

 

[hUTch2002]

Since you didn't watch it, anything you state about how either team looked is invalid.

But as mentioned, we played everyone. Coach Barnes said he experimented with lineups you'd never see in a game that means anything. We led the entire game until late, he pulled Lainier with around 6 minutes to go and had a line up with Mashack at power forward. The lead disappeared during that time frame. But Barnes literally didn't care because he wasn't trying to win. He was experimenting, something he specifically stated post game.

P.s comparative scores like that are silly and anyone not 10 years old knows that.

I knew that 4-year old was right!

No surprise there. Pearl is a very good coach.

That Dylan Harper, freshman for Rutgers, scored 37 in a losing effort against Bama, is the son of Ron Harper, former Cavs and Bulls player in the NBA.

Yup. Dude had whatever the defensive equivalent of gravity is.

You had almost no hope of getting points in the paint on him

Looks like Louisville are going to beat West Virginia, in OT. That road win is the gift that keeps on giving

Yep. Huge to catch them when we did. We have a pair of really nice wins already.

And Sanogo before him. Credit to Hurley for the rebuild, he inherited a messy roster and turned it into championships.

Dislike Hurley more and more, but it’s undeniable he can coach.

Illinois is touring around the SEC as they have already played Alabama and play Arkansas today and host Tennessee later this season.

Maryland Eastern Shore will FEEL UCONN's wrath.

Watching NC State vs Purdue, looks like Brandon Huntley-Hatfield has put on good size & strength.

Somehow NC State is a new landing spot for our former freshman 4/5-star centers once they’ve matured after a few years. BHH is another example of what could’ve been if he stayed and bought in.

Razorbacks struggling too … Aidoo has hardly touched the ball lol

Might be Aidoo’s first game back from injury. Getting exposed defensively because of the foot & conditioning probably.

Arkansas is running zero offense it seems like, there’s a lot of iso ball being played.

Cal doesn’t know how to run an offense
