Creighton Post Game Presser

[Mister P]

Hurley wasn’t putting any blame on the ref’s today and said that he didn’t have a good look at the 3pt shot by Diarra. He said he’s actually been satisfied with the officiating since Maui.
Talks a lot about the team’s lack of defense, rebounding and tenacity.

That is a long, long, long way from, "You better get us now."

Hurley realizes he’s has no further rope to criticize the officials - so here’s the result.

Good to hear him finally laying in a bit on the team versus the sugarcoating. If this team can’t respond to being called soft in the press, then they are soft.

I didn’t see a soft team today. We lost because we missed layups and “fouled” a 3 pt shooter at the end of the half.

I didn't watch this until late so I had all night to think about it. Early in the season I would have thought this was a motivational speech but he quickly dismissed the similarity to '23 as just a January slump.
He seems to be more resigned that this years guys are not killers like we've had in the past.
Alex is a the leader of this team and as good as his relationship is with Alex, and as great a leader he is, Danny realizes he's not going to be a killer.

I am not convinced that our defense is not as terrible as a lot of yarders are saying. ( it was hard to hear Seth Davis say UConn is not a good defensive team ) We are not great but in the last few games we have only scored in the 60's, at the same time we've also held the opponents under their average. We did a good job on Ashworth and also with Kalk which most teams have not been able to do.
If we get back to scoring 15-20 more with Liam back and continue to patch up some defensive holes we can still finish much stronger.
Though, I don't think we'll hear much more of the 3peat chants.
