He told everyone it was coming. Its here now

[TheChamps990411]

Hurleys first two seasons which were in the AAC with a roster mostly made up of Ollies guys he was 35-29 and if not for covid may have made the tourney in his second season. In his first two years in the Big East he improved to 38-18 with two straight tourney appearances that ended in first round exits. Over the last two years he is 68-11 which are the most wins in a two year span in the programs history with both seasons ending in national titles. In doing research for this i found that our 37 wins is one short of the season record for a team of 38 which has been done 3 times by the same coach. Calipari, yeah i know. Imagine all that talent and only 1 title to show for it. Hes already gotten beaten out by Hurley with way less talent then that car salesman. Anyway im not sure what my point is i just thought these were some interesting numbers and just how right Hurley turned out to be.

As much as we like to critique his in-game decisions is it not insane how well he has done recruiting? The hype for this season and the future is real. After all that the MBB team has been through I could not imagine us to be in a better position than we are now. Thank you Dan and your staff...

it really feels too good to be a husky fan

We're on top of the world. As hard as it may seem for us 70 & 80 era fans, even more so for the 50 & 60 era fans, these last two seasons may eclipse the dream season

Although before the dream season, we were nobody just wishing to make the dance. Hurley stepped into a great tradition, and expanded it

The dream season is just so special for so many reasons.

One of many many special Uconn teams. Pure dominance explains these last 2 years. And two very different teams with different styles.

Dan drives at 80mph, he is a student of the game. Always trying to improve and get better. His relentless pursuit of greatness is quite scary for the best coach currently in CBB.

He grows on you. He is a hell of a character. That midseason slump/turnaround in 2022-2023 was the turning point for him and the team. He just got it all together and so did the team. I admire his tenacity. And he can be very funny. This past two seasons has been beyond words for me except
"Wow!"

"If you build it they will come"..

Hurley rebuilt the program and you know the rest! Game crowd sellouts and top recruits are back. Great times to be a UConn fan.

He’s won twice. And now can unleash the plan. His culture. Those who are talented, unselfish, desire to win championships combined with legacy HS recruits, talented and want to play for UConn.

I think it was the 2nd half of the 2nd Xavier game. We decided that instead of running the offense through the post as the first option, we would run offense and take the first available good shot, which was often a Hawk or Newton shot. We lost that game by 2 i think after being down by about 18.
From then on, we lost 1 game (close Marquette loss), a Title, the a 30-3 season with all the titles possible.

It also helped that he figured out how to use Ajax. That was huge.

I saw the thread title and figured it was another Ed Cooley, "Spoiled and Arrogant" post.

Another Hurley Thread

I remember how down fans were. Passed over in realignment, stuck in the AAC, not landing high profile recruits. Then Hurley arrives and he had a vision of what UConn should be and like a mad scientist, he went to work. He knew when he said those prophetic words. "People better get us now cause...
