What is likelihood of another championship during Hurley’s new 6 year contract?

Guaranteed. The floor is 4. The ceiling is the roof.

What is likelihood of

I would argue that the probability is 50/50 at least because of how UConn dominated the recent drive! Hurley has implemented a winning culture! The one very critical variable is keeping the present coaching staff!!!

I see no reason why we won't continue to recruit at a high level. Hurley has done it already. Championships are hard. It takes a little luck for the bracket to shake out and the games to go correctly, but there's no reason UConn can't win another one. Hopefully we can keep our assistants or at least replace them with equally amazing assistants if they are offered a head job somewhere.

Sure, why not?

Nerd alert

If UConn enters each of the 6 seasons with top 10 odds that puts them at +1700 on average or a 1/17 probability which equates to a ~30% chance they win once in 6 years.

People always say “championships are hard to win”. Sure, if you’re not UConn.

I would set the O/U at 1.5

And I’m taking the over.

Well look who paid attention in their Q math course...

 

[bikerburt]

Agreed that high level recruiting will continue and that luck certainly is a part in how brackets shake out! ( I was worried that they would have to face a team from the Big East who was familiar with UConn's playing style). But that said there must be a greater confidence amongst the present coaches having won the first one!

Aw, man. I don't like guaranteed. Winning titles is hard. Izzo only has one. Same with Self and the Squid. I like "Why not?"

50/50 either they do or they don't

 

[REB1094]

We are very spoiled as fans because of the amount of championships we've won, especially in relatively recent history. Winning a championship is hard. There's like 15 coaches in the history of the sport to win more than 1. 6 of those guys have won more than 2, with Jim Calhoun being one of them. And a good chunk of those coaches were winning those rings 50+ years ago

That said, I think Hurley could win it again. He's shown to be elite at recruiting, roster building, gameplanning, and after a midseason hiccup he's shown to be great at adjusting. Those aren't things that will just go away in the near future, and college ball is changing so quickly that the coaches who change with it will be at a big advantage. Wouldn't be surprising if he did, but wouldn't be a knock on his career if he didn't.

50/50

If one believes coaching is key, Hurley has a great chance. Since JC's first in '99, six coaches have won 15 of the past 24 championships. Four of them have retired or gone to the NBA (Donovan), leaving only Self as a multiple winner (Pitino's first was '96).

 

[Palatine]

The chances are good he will get another. He is bringing in elite level athletes. He knows what it takes. He seems to know how to get the best out of his players. He is still surrounded by his dad, Calhoun, Geno and has many top coaches in his circle. He is acting like he is still hungry.

Championships usually require a couple of good bounces, a good draw and some favorable upsets. But if he keeps putting himself in the path of luck, it is more likely than not.

 

[BuffaloHusky]

In a vacuum I’d say Hurley and Self have the best odds to win at least one in the next six years but conference realignment, and NIL among others really make predictions in this landscape impossible.

 

[WeAreUCONN]

It’s a make it or break it outcome for Hurley. If we discount this year’s magical run, Hurley and company have largely failed, with no worthwhile or meaningful accomplishments. The clock is ticking Danny!

 

[ucp990411]

Not a question of will he win another one in 6 years but rather how many!

 

[Durks07]

Anything less than 7 championships during those 6 years will be a monumental failure.

 

[Huskyforlife]

Over under 5 fire Hurley threads if we don’t win one by year 6?

 

[ElGreco]

Sure, why not?

I say minimum one and believe we are now a Top 4 program in no particular order along with Kansas, Duke and Kentucky. In Hurley ( and our great AD) we trust.

I honestly think this year’s team going to win it all, if they stay healthy.

My reply was deep sarcasm. It is hard to convey thru words.
