Hurley taking issue with our lack of media coverage

UConn Men’s Basketball Coach Rips National Media for Not Covering His Team: ‘If We Were at Duke or Kentucky or Kansas… It Would Be the Biggest Story’

We get no respect. Is there something we can do about it?

Win a championship this year?

 

[Samoo]

Don't need their respect, just their trophies.

Hurley cracks me up. He loves using any perceived slights for motivation. Whatever it takes, use it.

 

[Waquoit]

I agree. I'm not seeing nearly enough slobbering over a generational team.

 

[Mr. Wonderful]

Hurley is drawing all the attention and drama to himself while the assistants and players practice kill shots in relative solitude...

That's the story I'm telling anyway!

Yep, he doesn't believe any of what he's saying but it works for his players.

Every sports show in the country is saying they haven't ever seen what the UConn men are doing.

I think this is Hurley looking for slights to motivate his team, but I also think it would be a different level of hype if this were Duke doing what we're doing. That doesn't mean everyone is out to get UConn, but there are different levels of coverage

Hurley needs the fuel and he isn't burning the trophies.

I wouldn't say he doesn't believe it, but he's kind of agnostic about whether it's true or not.

In reality, he's both right and wrong. He's wrong that we're not getting major props (which we are from at least the second tier of small-scale commentators). He's right that, if we were Duke or Kentucky we'd be leading off SportsCenter every night, which we're not.

 

[Mr. Wonderful]

UConn has been mentioned on every talking head program that covers college basketball every day this past week.

That doesn't matter though. It's just not enough and they need to do better.

Imagine if we had Caitlin Clark?

 

[hardcorehusky]

Imagine if we were on ESPN and not Fox!

Because it's the Final Four. And they get to UConn after they're done with Purdue and the fat guy.

And if there isn’t a real slight, make one up, lol it’s Jordan-esque
