Exactly. I am baffled by people saying Hurley wants to the take the air out of the ball and milk the clock as a rationalization for the lousy last 8 minutes of that game. Okay, but that can be accomplished without looking so bad and letting the lead diminish so quickly. Do people really think Hurley was happy with those 8 minutes. This is a guy that was up 20+ points at half last year against DePaul and complained in the halftime interview that he didn't like the last shot selection which resulted in a DePaul basket at the buzzer.

Do people quickly forget about the Providence game at MSG in 2023? UConn was up 58-32 with 12 minutes to go and then we were left biting our nails with 3 minutes to go as the game was in doubt. For the most part last year's team was really good about finishing games, but there were a few games earlier in that year where their milking of the clock was not great. I expect the coaching staff to work on that get better at it.
