Hurley got murked by Turgeon

It’s hilarious that you think a 5-14 team that gave up 72ppg is a good defensive team.

It's even funnier that all you consider is a straight PPG view rather than taking into account things like pace of play and amount of possessions during a game. Pomeroy has been innovative as heck in tempo based basketball analytics which is why college programs use his work to gain insight and advantages. So, let's see, use Ken Pom work or go with Cardiac Andre analysis on the world wide web? HMMMMMMMM

And from just like, watching the games. We averaged 81 ppg in the 5 games against G’Town and Depaul. 9 ppg more than our season average. Does that mean a thing?
 
Y'all are nuts.

Remember Calhoun's offense? It was basically a pro iso that relied on us having the best scorer on the floor and if we didn't we couldn't win. Luckily, we had some of the greatest guards in NCAA history. And savage defense, including shot blocking (which would've made a huge difference yesterday).

There are a lot of different ways to win basketball games. You don't have to run a motion offense. You don't have to do anything.

Hurley made URI good. THE UNIVERSITY OF RHODE ISLAND.

He took the absolute dumpster fire we were before he got here and got us back into the tournament in a reasonable timeframe and seems to have the same kind of tenacious spirit that Calhoun had.

Is he a perfect coach? No. But who is? Especially when you haven't been doing it THAT long. Remember how many years Calhoun had the reputation about being unable to win the big game and get to the Final Four? And then we won 3 titles with him.

I hope Hurley continues to get better, but he's done a very solid job, especially given the situation thus far. If he plateaus and can't take the team to the next level then you deal with that then, but making the tournament this year was an absolutely reasonable goal for this team.

Well now you’re picking and choosing, it goes both ways, the offense could’ve played well, or the defense could’ve been bad. But the last time we played Georgetown their defense was literally non existent, so ill go with that.

Nope I am literally using the data and information of an expert on this topic. Not picking and choosing anything. But keep struggling with your rationale

Lol okay, keep contradicting yourself, this has been fun though, agree to disagree.

We feasted on bad Big East teams, what don’t you understand? When we ran into average to good teams, Maryland, Nova and Creighton, we averaged 57 ppg.

When you start getting paid by college basketball programs for your analytics and research let me know. Heck maybe you already are based the insight you’ve provided here.

Supporting and wearing rose colored glasses are different. We have multiple threads dissing and calling Cuse trash while they’re in the sweet 16, it’s almost sore loser esque.

look at your other posts in other threads. You told me to f myself. now you want to leave it be.

That was based on the idea that you questioned whether you wanted Bouk on the team. I try to criticize the collective, picking out one guy, who happens to be our best player by a country mile didn’t sit well with me. But I do apologize for how I went about it, too reactive.

Lol in this thread someone said analytics is overrated. Hahahaha. That’s a bar. Do you also think math is overrated?

I always thought the Pythagorean theorem got too much credit.

e? That's a letter, not a number. G.T.F.O.

π? This is murca

Teams lay complete eggs when (insert your second paragraph) happens. It IS coaching. And Hurley will be better for next season just like every player on the team.

You haven't gotten anything right all year.
