Hurley showing big time class by not allowing his players to shoot at the end of the game.

I didn’t even watch UCONN game. Watched Clemson Arizona which was
a good one.

Me too

I mean yeah Edey over Clingan is a slam dunk but Edey is the head and shoulders number 1 in that category but Clingan is still top 5 if not top 3.

Absolute absurd defensive on/off splits for Clingan.

great defensive player. Mediocre offensive player with lackluster touch. If defended well he will miss nearly every time. Just not a huge fan. If this uconn team didn’t have the best collection of guards in the country and had to rely on Clingan more, I think hed get exposed a bit

Since beat us by 5, UConn beat Marq by 16 and in the ncaa Tourny won by: 39pnts, 17pnts, and 30pnts.

Hold on. I think the Committee just added another Mountain West team.

 

[Mullins Revenge]

yeah that's unheard of

The way st johns fans talk about Hurley, you’d think he would be calling timeouts and drawing up plays at that point.

 

[lycidas]

yeah that's unheard of

(They stopped shooting with 49 seconds left, up 30…)

Watching UCONN play is always tough . But , hey we lost to them by 5 points in the BE semi final . So far that’s as close as any team has played them in the last few weeks .

We gave them a better game than San Diego , of the over rated Mountain West Conference . Losing by a record 30 points to Hurley’s Hoopers .
I’m rooting for 3 BE teams in the Finsl 4 to shove it up the A-s of that incompetent Selection Committee.

Remember folks SJU chose Mullin over Hurley. Just remember that...LOL

 

[fordham96]

But this will be the last thing I will say. UCONN is definitely a power.

This guy is in the lab and will be joining them at/near the top of the BE shortly...

Good grief……..

Carolina on fire shooting 62% from three & 52% overall v Bama,up 8 at half

 

[Delaware]

Clemson’s first Elite 8 since 1980 which by my calculations is 44 years. Not easy to get that far in tournament obviously.

I was referring to Arizona.

Aren't you the bearer of glad tidings?

 

[bamafan]

I was referring to Arizona.

and I wasn't referring to anything other than making an observation.

 

[paultzman]

UConn is in such a sustained groove punishing teams. Them having an off night seems the only way to beat them in Dance. Not saying it can’t happen, but what a roll they are in.

 

[MCNPA]

The Cinderella is the Big East that got treated like a mid-major.

 

[MCNPA]

He is 100% right. And he is using it to keep his team motivated. That is why he is the best coach in college hoops right now.

OK. I have never liked Danny Hurley at all. I’m going to say that he is growing on me quite a bit this off-season. He had been an amazingly outspoken proponent Ning unlike our own Rick Pitino and I can’t help but to smile when I watch clips like these. He pulls no punches and gotta say, I’ve enjoyed it. When we play him I can’t stand him but he won’t leave it unsaid.
