One win over a notoriously bad tournament coach where his team makes 15 threes is a long way from Brad Stevens.

It's less about the win, and more about how they play. Also, they beat Zona by 20+, it's not like they eaked it out.

People who've been watching him all year say this is what you get. I've watched them 3 times, and the guy can certainly coach.

But no, he's not Brad Stevens.

 

[AdamaNation]

If he can convince a kid to come to Buffalo from Orlando he might be a wizard. What’s the NCAA rule on wizards?

UConn cannot know, use, mention, or even know how to spell the word. Can please add a number 6 to your post after the z please?

I admire the consistency with which you fire off bad takes.

The traffic from Pittsburgh to NJ is far better than it is from NJ to CT... trust me, I live in PA now and going home is a nightmare bc of the traffic!!!

It doesn't take 5.5 hours to get from CT to North Jersey. It takes at least that long to do it from Pittsburgh.

You mean being right.

Look at what Brad has done with the talent in boston. It's ridiculous. He has dragged them back into being relevant.

but obviously Pop is more accomplished.

He was also the mastermind for the tankapalooza to get duncan.

how many more lessons do you want today?

 

[AntG168]

Don't want Hurley to be the coach but heard enough from last weekend to convince me that he is a lock

You have ZERO credibility

That Ronald Segu kid absolutely monopolized youtube. As often as he has been on there you would think he is at least a 4 star, big-time recruit. His teammate ( AAU or hs) is Nassir Little who signed w/ UNC after decommitting from another school (escapes me at this point). Someone has schooled this kid on the benefits of marketing.

Let's not put cap on it. Just keep going.

Nope. You don't deserve to be educated. clearly you can't handle truth yet.

Decommitted from Zona. For obvious reasons.

Jeez this is going to get so silly but screw it - it's kind of fun.

But honestly, my buddy at the UConn AD says it's 100% in on Hurley right now and the worst kept secret ever. They're not even trying to hide it. They made him a monster offer. Cash is nice, but benefits are stuuuuuuuuuuuupid. They feel really, really, really good about it. Rumor is - he's coming here - or he's staying. Pitt isn't on the table. He loves it in Rhode Island to the point where he's not sure he wants to leave.

Which - if that's true, I'm not even mad about. Nice to see a guy care about what he's built. Although I'd love him here. I don't think that once he's here, that he'd leave.

Rothstein just said that the Tom Moore relationship is a strong hint about backchannel communication with UCONN.

He said this where?

 

[Ripper32]

He said this where?

CBS sports network. Tiki + Tierney segment.

CBS sports network. Tiki + Tierney segment.

That doesn't surprise me at all.

Even if Moore isn't acting in any official capacity on behalf of anyone at UConn, its definitely a benefit to us having someone there in Hurley's ear telling him how great a UConn is.

at this very moment, during the beginning of Friday rush hour, from Storrs to Parsippany-Troy Hills NJ is a little over 3 hrs on Google maps.

That seems a bit optimistic

Google maps accounts for traffic, it's usually very accurate.

Sure. Because between you throwing an estimate out off the top of your head, versus relying on a complex computer program with state of the art algorithms that gets data from a huge percentage of people in cars with their cellphones on, a rational person is going to give great weight to the pull it out of your butt estimate.

That algorithm is based on current conditions, though. Friday night, heading to/from NJ, that number is definition gonna change. It's more of a snapshot than a promise.
