Butler Post Game Thread

I can't believe we're criticizing Hurley for being pompous. Like, this has been the UConn basketball brand for 3 decades.
Being arrogant and pompous about UConn and the program, yes, I love that. But he made it about him, which isn't a good look. If they read his lips demanding respect for the program, he'd get some flack from the usual places, but it would blow over and most people wouldn't care, it certainly wouldn't have been picked up as a story in almost every media outlet. The fact that he made it about him demanding respect for being the best coach in the country (even if he is), that touched a nerve and made even people that don't care or even like his antics step back and say whoa. Arrogance is one thing, especially if it earned and deserved, but narcissism isn't a good look.
 
For anyone keeping track....

Through 19 games of sophomore year -
Solo Ball: 55 3PM at 45.1%
Jordan Hawkins (minus Stonehill): 59 3PM at 40.4%
 
I'm also wondering why we don't see Solo's 40 inch plus vertical in games. I was expecting him to posterize fools this season. He needs to play angry.
He seems to be using the 40 horizontal instead. I share you frustration, he attacks the rim small.
