Message: [QUOTE="gtcam, post: 3337673, member: 2844"] Very good win last night and should have been a 20+ pt win if not for that Hurley era nemesis - Free Throws I don't like the way Dan Hurley reacts and coaches to the flow of the game and do not understand his substitution patterns He is still overboard with his interaction and interest with the refs and he gets caught up in the atmosphere of the game and that takes his attention away from the details. - Akok sat for way too long in the 2nd half and there were times when a time out would have helped. His game management needs work. I am hoping he allows Tom Moore to help him in this area. I applaud his exuberance with the players and his recruitment acumen is very good. You can tell the kids love working with him. That being said, UConn has a chance tonight but the one thing that scares me is that Xavier has been in a season starting scoring slump (Coach Mack's assessment) and that offense is bound to awaken. UConn's defensive lapses set a good stage for that to happen. Xavier will be a huge test and they won't want to lose to a team that will be joining the league next season. Chris Mack is an outstanding coach and he will let his team know the importance of this match-up - as will Dan Hurley, I am sure [/QUOTE]
