Do you root for URI in the tournament?

[Dogdeacon]

I agree about keeping Duke and MSU out of the E8–certainly would prefer that.

However, here is a scenario to think about. What if URI were to make a magical run to the E8, beating Duke and MSU along the way. Hurley becomes labeled as a can’t miss superstar coach who loves the northeast and NYC area. At that point, would the powers at Syracuse ever consider forcing out Boeheim now to get Hurley before he is out of the market? While Syracuse was built by Boeheim and everyone assumes that he has the power to decide for himself when he walks away...I could see it happening. Just a hypothetical.

Wow. The good news is the confidence in Hurley's coaching ability supporting a remarkable vision that Hurley's team over-achieves in the NCAA. The bad news is ultimately these superpowers of optimism conjure a negative scenario. This forces a bat-signal to the Boneyard powers of schadenfreude to squash this superpowered optimistic yet fatalistic scenario.

Or GO RAMS! Your call...

I am not in the Hurley corner - UConn can do better - but that has nothing to do with the game or games they play and who I want to win

You always say this, but who is it you think is better and has a better resume (obviously of those available)?

 

[mauconnfan]

Yes because Oklahoma has no right being there!

 

[TheChamps990411]

Lol! I dont care either way. If he wants to come here he will. If he dont, he wont. If you think a couple of wins are going to put him on the national radar for coaching jobs youre fooling yourselves because im positive hes on the national radar already. If he loses to OK i can already see some here wondering if hes the right guy for the job if he cant get out of the first round of the tourney lol!

 

[Horatio]

I hope they make an E8 run solely because that means Duke or Mich St doesn't.

I hate them more than Kentucky.

Thank you Q. It's good to see some of us still carry and maintain the hatred.

My nightmare FF has Duke/MSU/UNC and either BC, Cuse or Providence.

 

[JustbrewitMan]

LMAO. If you can figure out how you make an agreement non-negotiable before it's signed, could you please let me know? Because in actual real life that's a problem for those of us who negotiate for a living.

What do you know...are you a lawyer or something???

My sources say there's a contract already, and it's signed...in deoxygenated blood, no less.

I mean, it’s quite obvious his answer is Kevin Ollie.

Now, I will root for URI to keep it close (5-7 pts) against Duke, but not win.

Need to put an end to the URI's fans reality in both ways.

 

[Scoe]

Vacancies are getting filled right now Ole Miss just hired Kermit Davis and we know Georgia hired Crean, I'm glad because I didnt want either one, so it improves our chances of getting the coach we want, lets say URI goes onto the sweet 16 perhaps more vacancies will be filled might be better to just wait it out as other vacancies get filled. Just stay in contact with Hurley and Oats.

Screw that I can't route for Duke under any circumstances, unfortunately Duke will destroy URI.

Absolutely.

F Duke.

Temple to decide Dunphy's fate next week: Decision on Dunphy's future likely to come next week

We need to lock up Hurley ASAP. I hope Duke blows out URI.

You can bet on that.

Wash your mouth out with soap. If Hurley can figure out a way to stop Bagley they've got a puncher's chance. I bet JC could help him with a gameplan

It ain't just Bagley though and you know that. I don't see how they handle him and Carter Jr down low. Those guys are just so much bigger and more talented.

I know you weren't connecting them, but from above, it looks like you are saying we have to watch out for Hurley to Temple. lol

I want him to go deep, I don't want Losers at UConn.

I'd rather lose a winner than win a loser.
