Hurley and Young OUT today

[Storrs South]

The real question is “is Samson playing?”

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

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.

 

[Mister P]

I believe it’s Nick Pappagiorgio from Yuma.

 

[Chief00]

Remember 2003 with Calhoun out for a bunch and blaney took over and started using Marcus white who Calhoun didn’t use up to that point?

Forgot the year but I remember when Doug Wiggins had his best game under Blaney. Then said he felt more comfortable playing for George, when asked why he played well. Next game Jim was back and Doug I recall got no or few minutes. LOL!

This team could use a Doug Wiggins!

 

[PNolanFan]

I bet we got covid from that clown on Xavier who was playing through it and the announcers coudlnt stop praising his toughness for playing basketball while extremely contagious and it has been percolating on our team since then

Overall though I think Moore will get the job done and we will be ok

 

[methodology]

Do people actually think Luke is going to be running the show?

It’s going to be Tom Moore. He has head coaching experience and is a long time assistant. Luke is still a greenhorn at this and is still learning/growing

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

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

Shut up and write your first biography of 50 equal or better coaches; the clock is ticking. Stretch yourself instead of wasting our time.

 

[Horatio]

Outstanding rebounder. Expert rebounder for that short time until he landed on his back and was never the same.

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

Cease and desist.

 

[NJHusky]

Hate to burst your bubble but if we win tonight, it just means that either Luke or Tom are the true coaches of this team.

Don’t forget Kimani is undefeated

 

[Umami Zen]

It’s going to be Tom Moore. He has head coaching experience and is a long time assistant. Luke is still a greenhorn at this and is still learning/growing

Tom has won about 235 more CBB games than Luke..

 

[temery]

Celebrating someone having Covid is pretty messed up.

 

[F101Voodoo]

Dan Hurley seems like a control freak; I can see him coaching via text to others

That is what I was thinking.

 

[UconnU]

Well, at least less fouls will be called against us.

 

[Punkbo]

None of this is a problem. Tom and Luke will be great. AJ will have a triple-double, Newton will score 20 and not only will Adama and DC play together, they’ll hold hands on the court. And after polishing off a 20-point win, the team will have a group hug. All is well!

Marcus was a rebounding machine for a few games anyway.
