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.
