All this crap about Hurley can't get us to the next level is BS pure and simple.  What level do you expect?  He's already gotten us to basically the top 10 in the country by all the metrics.  The next level is the NBA and - oh, by the way - there are at least 3, maybe 4 or 5 players that will be playing there.

It's ok to admit that another team was better than we are - at least on a given night.  Teams have good nights and bad nights.  Good match-ups and bad match- ups.  Look at the play-by-play.  With 9 minutes left, we had just tied the score at 60.  Over that nine minutes, We missed 7 3s - five of them wide open and missed every one.  Hurley didn't miss the shots, BUT he set up plays that created those shots. Hurley didn't shoot 60% from the foul line from a team that's averaging nearly 76% - 81% if you don't count Clingan and Diarra.  We had at least a half dozen opportunities to take the lead - couldn't get that done.

Sometimes we just play another team that would like to win the game too.   It's not all the coaches fault.  The other team, the referees, the players sometimes have something to do with the outcome of the game.
