This season -- to date -- has to be looked at two ways.  In terms of recovering the program from the depths to which it had fallen, this year has clearly been a step forward.  In terms of personnel, in terms of record, and, as far as predicting the future maybe most importantly, in terms of computer rankings.

On the other hand, Hurley's goal coming in was to compete for the AAC regular season championship, and in retrospect there is no doubt that we had a roster that was capable of doing so.  Bad luck, in terms of injuries and key shots going against us again and again?  Sure.  But if you want to blame Hurley for the Bouk early season suspension, the inability to coach players up faster, the decision to put 20 pounds on Josh, and the inability to coach one more stop or hoop per game -- that's certainly not unfair either.  Now, this isn't a second weekend tourney team if everything broke right, but did he squeeze every bit of juice out of the orange this year?  Maybe (the heart and desire he's making part of the program is undeniable), but maybe not.

But the final story on this year's team hasn't been written yet.  Another chapter is tonight.  Let's get it done and go from there.
