Bouk has been great so far.  Carlton is having a nice bounce back year.  Martin is a nice solid piece.  We just had Polley's performance and ...etc.

What I love about this team vs Ollie's teams is the defense.  Hurley and his staff have completely changed the way they play defense.  There are no/almost no soft closeouts on shooters.  Almost everything is challenged.  As much as we have raked the two young point guards over the coals, they both have done pretty well at the defensive end.  You are never going to keep the other teams' guards out of the lane all together.  Even when they are beat, they don't give up though.

One of the things I like about Bouknight is when he does get beat, he lets his big step up, but recovers enough to cut off the pass to the other team's big.  If Akok is 80% or better, it'll just get better.

After how he toughed it out for 4 years, and the way his UConn career ended abruptly, I just wish Vital was here part of this.  I still think his buying into Hurley and his plan has left an imprint on his former teammates.
