The team wasn’t ready for the moment period.  They weren’t ready in the BET or the NCAA.  This is where experience in big games matter and coaching.  This is where your bad tendencies get exposed.  When you lose against a team you should beat the criticism is fair game full stop.  If UCONN plays their C game they win.  No one could have expected them to bring their D /D plus game and a historically bad offensive performance.

The coach is part of the team and this was another team fail for a number of reasons.  At the end of the day when all of your best players are young and inexperienced in these situations you then have to lean on the coaching to get them focused and in better positions to succeed.

They weren’t ready for the moment.  This was an easily winnable game with some different tactical adjustments and basic execution.  The entire team including the coaching staff will learn from this.  Hurley admitted that he wasn’t sure what kind of team he had after the last Creighton loss.  Now he knows.
