Hurley going all Kyrie Irving

[HooperScooper]

About four hours before tip-off, Hurley was seen walking around with a lit sage throughout the court.

According to CBS Sports Network, this ritual isn’t new. Hurley started burning sage pregame back when he was coaching at the University of Rhode Island. At URI, he started putting sage in the left corner because they kept being beat in the left corner by buzzer beaters — and it worked.

It’s been a staple for Hurley ever since.

Is Dan Hurley’s pregame ritual a secret to the UConn men’s success?

Given that I could only find video of Kyrie doing this in Dec 2020, since Hurley was doing this at URI, more appropriate thread title would be "Kyrie Irving going all Hurley" ???

As long as he doesn’t become a flat earther too, do whatever you want

Also, maybe a better plan to cleanse the energy at the XL Center would be to just burn the whole place down and play all the games at Gampel!

What’s with the bandage on his neck? Hope it’s nothing serious.

“Sage”

Round earth is overrated, just win championships.

Why cleanse the energy of a place you have been blowing teams away. Obviously it worked better for UMES than it did for us. Change the type of sage your using DH

Obviously, he needs to recite haikus from the haiku thread while he’s doing this. Picture him waving around the flaming sage while saying “Charlie V still has no pubes.” I have to believe that would be enormous for the mojo, but even if it wasn’t, it would still be hysterical.

The game losing haiku thread needs to be deleted and the original poster should never again be allowed to post anything like that

It didn't help Tyrese. I say, shut it down.

 

[BigFanCT]

how about studying how to run an offense instead of this cry for attention

 

[UConn Dan]

Sage is nice and all but has Hurley ever heard of the power of Senhor Testiculo?

Doing this alone in an empty arena is not a cry for attention.

You watch the game last night? Cameras all over caught it.

sooooooo many things here discussed, dissected, and observed by the rational mind loooooong ago. coach is an odd duck, like sooo many other of us monkeys roaming around. he's also also a fine coach, with an ascending record for both winning and recruiting, and we're lucky to have him, weirdness and all. that 'momma husky' part of his team is quaint and amusing, also kind of fun.
speaking of monkeys, mebbe he should burn sum cannabis once in a while. that stuff can have an overwhelming funk, kinda like the smell in an old fashioned ''monkey house' at the zoo. that stuff gets on you, and u need a dip in a bleach bath to remove it, iffn u want to. or 'wood burning smoke.' that stuff can make the ladies cray-cray out in public, as i think that it gives them visions of a log cabin in winter Vermont -- dreamy. often heard at home- mg, 'ur not going out smelling like that. the girls will attack you in the produce section...' lol. she's right of course. it really is annoying when they crowd you when ur just trying to pick out some apples.
'the stank be with us!' the good stank, not the bad one. lol.

Double the mojo. Rub some sage on 'em.

The left corner at Gampel needed some sage after Yale/Texas back to back

 

[HuskyHawk]

It did wonders for MES' shooting. Whatever spirits were there were apparently friendly.

 

[Sky ball]

He needs to have Voodoo dolls made up of every team on the schedule and stick pins in them pre-game.

I heard he's a triangle earther.

No that’s Phil Jackson

He had a cyst removed from his neck. Nothing serious tho!

Maybe skip the Sage and work on an inbounds play.
