My take on some things not being commented on enough:
Hawkins was nervous this game.  Three missed fouls told me all I needed to know.  Not sure if anyone commented but he drove to the basket several times even with some open looks. Also gave up an open look with a pass to Alleyne.

This game was terrific and exciting until the tech.  A lot of good offense.  Runs by both teams and after UConn’s run to extend the lead to seven points teams kept the score close to make it anybody’s game.

Felt first sign Hurley was letting his emotions get the better of him was when he pulled Clingan on the Nunge drive by him.  A better option would have been to use it as a teaching moment and put him back in after the time out.  It wasn’t like Adama was dominating on either end of the floor.  I’m pretty sure the substitution patterns were poor after that point.

Whether the bad reffing made Hurley lose confidence in some players that he felt he could only trust his starters or he lost his composure and didn’t coach well after that point is inconsequential.  It impacted the game which up to that Clingan removal I felt he coached quite well.
