Message: [QUOTE="tzznandrew, post: 2627871, member: 168"] You're right. But sometimes you just need to get to the post-season a few times before you really get yourself under you. And it's not like Hurley's ever had the school or resources that he'd have here. Hurley's taken two teams and turned them around. Wagner was 5-26, and won 8 more games his first year, and then went to 26-6 the next before getting scooped up. Then URI went 7-24 before him, and they have 3 20-win seasons out of 6. And it's not like he's done poorly in the post-season. Last year they won the A10 tournament, and were an 11-seed in the NCAAT and won (+.5 PACE), and then nearly took out Oregon, who went to the FF. Sure, they choked in that game, but the talent differential matters, and good teams usually are the reason lesser teams "choke." This year they are a 7 and are into the second round (+0.33), with a chance to increase that. It's not like they're getting in and bombing. [/QUOTE]
