I sure would like it too.
No.
OK, I believe that you don't understand.
I hope you are right.
Progress from the worst seasons in school history. Hooray. They’re playing hard. Hooray. I’m over the moral victory crap. We should do a boneyard horse shoe tournament.

Just keep lobbing grenades.
What’d you expect? I didn’t say anything about a “moral victory”. What I am acknowledging is that we’re clearly headed in the right direction. Excellence takes time. Hurley, the players, fans, nor myself are satisfied with a good effort. But reality is reality. We’ve gone toe to toe with some really good teams this year. That hasn’t been the case the last 5 years. It counts for something. It shows progress. Imo NIT is a must this season. And if we bring the same game we brung against Wichita and Nova we won’t be talking about moral victories
Make it a poll.
Who has disagreed with Hurley needing to get better at some things? You created that in your head. People just aren’t attacking him to your liking
We probably aren't making the NIT, so what happens when we don't?
He also said the expectation for season 2 was winning the conference.
It’s a failure imo. I don’t see why we can’t make the NIT. Literally all you need to do is finish above .500. The NIT would jump at the chance to include UConn in their tourney. We’ve played REALLY well the last 2 games. NIT is most certainly attainable
I think you're underestimating what it takes to get into the NIT since they changed the criteria. Every conference regular season winner who doesn't make the NCAA Tournament gets in now. That leaves less open spots than the way they used to do it. Plus I don't think they care about including marquee programs just because you're over .500 like they used to. I think UConn will probably need to win 19 games to get into the NIT.
Money talks though and UConn fans do travel well
Yeah sure there’s growth, but like, not that much. Besides Brendan Adams in spurts, who has gotten better? We have a very good recruiting class and we’re not much better off than last year. Hurley and Jay Wright I guess can say all they want about a culture change and he needs his own players and this and that, but results tend to have to matter at some point. When was the last time we won a road game? When was the last time we won a close game against even an adequate opponent? It’s a year and a half win, what’s the signature win? Syracuse? Fine, win against a rival who wasn’t even good. I personally haven’t seen much growth, maybe that’s the pessimist in me, but losing game after game against good and mediocre teams doesn’t invoke a warm and cozy feeling in me. One thing I like is this team hates losing, they’ve gotten to be very good and creative at it, but they truly are heartbroken at the end of these games.
True dat, though I'm not Chief.
Lots of crabby self-certain posters let us know how they feel?
Seriously? 16-3 foul shot advantage. You ok with that every night too?

We called them "jimmies" too; friends called them "shots" or "sprinkles."
Meh. This team is what it is. For what it’s worth I don’t think it’s so much finding a way to lose, but not knowing how to win. I don’t see much changing before the end of the year. Freshman should make a little bit of a jump, but in the end our seniors are going to be called upon to make plays at the end of the game catch up, and their decision making is what it is.
