Well, yes, actually.  In fact I’ll go a step further and say if he continually gets bounced in the first weekend he will be gone pretty quickly.  Look there is a big difference between UHart and UConn.  If you are a power program the regular season matters only to the extent that it positions you for the tournament.  And once you get there you have to make noise on a regular basis.  Not every year, and you don’t need to go to the Final Four, but you can’t be one and done every. year either.  Can you have a bad year here or there? Sure.  Can you have 2 in a row? Maybe, but I then the seat will be open flame.

Hurley is trending right at this point.  But there is no way you can say that if we spend the next 2 years playing in the NIT.  It is the reality of big time college basketball.  And basketball isn’t like football where you can argue you need x years to bring in your recruits.  With the 1-drones and now the new transfer rule, it is more of a win now proposition.  And there is one final reality.  A couple of losing seasons in a row will result in crowds of 6500.  And no move to a new league to bring them back is on the horizon.
