Hurley and Young OUT today

[storrsroars]

Tom can absolutely handle the job. Some old Husky blood running the show tonight !!!

Get everyone untied. A little adversity might be good.

When I first read this, I thought it said "united".

On reflection, seems it doesn't matter. They both work.

 

[XLCenterFan]

This is great because even if we win by 30, we will still have a Boneyard meltdown. It's a win-win for everyone!

It’s inevitable.

 

[Matt1010]

Totally random thought; are coaches tied into KenPom at all? Does this shift the predictions there? I'm assuming the betting market will shift a good point or two

No Kenpom doesn't update based on non statistical factors like injuries or people being out. The line has moved about a point towards SH. Currently UConn -4.5

 

[aburks41]

This has been one of the worst months for our program in recent memory. Nothing is going right

 

[boiwerebad]

Are they still mandated to get tested?

If not...why are the testing?

I am not sure how NCAA does it, but in the NBA you only report if you actually are sick/have COVID. Therefore, one or both probably woke up sick and reported it/sat out

 

[KingAG]

We are WAY too down on Hurley here. It’s sad to see

 

[storrsroars]

I'm looking forward to minutes from Springs and the Greek kid ;-)

 

[QDOG5]

I cannot wait to see Luke Murray run the show tonight. Dude is a stud.

 

[Candyman]

Curious who actually runs things tonight Luke or Tom. I hope for Luke but will probably be Tom.

 

[REB1094]

I have full faith in our entire staff. Looking forward to a great game from the sidelines from Coach Murray

The more interesting part will be the takes on here whenever anything good or anything bad happens

Get well soon Coach Hurley and Young!

 

[Samoo]

No. I was 9 and was not quite as tuned into rotations as I am now.

August had just celebrated a half century...

 

[boiwerebad]

I'm looking forward to minutes from Springs and the Greek kid ;-)

O/U 8.5 minutes for Richie Springs and O/U 12.5 for those two combined. I am hoping over on both

 

[CTBasketball]

Sort of interested to see how the team responds.

But the refs will rejoice!

 

[Kolumbo]

Don't count coach hurley out just yet

 

[CL82]

So you grew up a casual fan?

I question his commitment.

 

[wheelerdog]

Paging Chris Daly

Haha The refs could really stick it to Hurley by not calling any fouls on us tonight
.

 

[CL82]

Sort of interested to see how the team responds.

But the refs will rejoice!

The really interesting question is whether we will have a foul disparity without Hurley on the sidelines. The really interesting question is whether we will have a foul disparity with out early on the sidelines. It would be an interesting way for the refs to send a message.

 

[HuskyHawk]

We are WAY too down on Hurley here. It’s sad to see

I think Hurley can coach, I just think it's possible he's wound so tight that it affects the players. They love his intensity when things are going right, but when they aren't? They all need to relax and remember that basketball is supposed to be fun.

 

[MDHuskFan]

Well I guess I’ll say it 2 pages in because no one else has…. Sending best wishes to Coach Dan Hurley & Kimani on a quick recovery

 

[Storrs South]

The real question is “is Samson playing?”

Unlikely. That's what it seems like from hearing Borges talk on a podcast yesterday.

 

[navery12]

The Boneyard when they find out Hurley is out tonight but their savior Kimani is also out

 

[Tyler2Rings]

So you grew up a casual fan?

It was never easy for me. I was born a casual fan

 

[freescooter]

Damn was hoping Kimani would get the HC duties

Well he did get the biggest win of the Hurley era.

 

[Griffman]

I'm looking forward to minutes from Springs and the Greek kid ;-)

Love how everyone on this board refers to him as the "Greek Kid" rather than whatever his name might be.

 

[UCFan1513]

Well he did get the biggest win of the Hurley era.

I'd argue wins over Auburn and Bama on neutral courts were as big, if not bigger; both top 5 caliber teams as time has proven

 

[August_West]

No. I was 9 and was not quite as tuned into rotations as I am now.

You’re like the same age as my wife! ;-)

 

[Psolo12]

Best news since the season began!

Better news than us going 14-0 to start the year and being ranked #2?

 

[CTBasketball]

The really interesting question is whether we will have a foul disparity without Hurley on the sidelines. The really interesting question is whether we will have a foul disparity with out early on the sidelines. It would be an interesting way for the refs to send a message.

We will because our players foul almost on every possession, but we shall see!

 

[Connecticut13]

Better news than us going 14-0 to start the year and being ranked #2?

To be fair, it's definitely better news than going 1-4 in the last 5 games.
