He’s. Not. Wrong.

Hurley has gone into full scapegoating mode.

Imagine sitting your best player for 15 minutes in the first half today and vs Indiana when he averages 2 fouls per 40 minutes

Yes! He is a disciplined player. Take the risk of him picking up his 5th with maybe 3 mins left in the game

Hurley not talking like a ceo. Sounds petty to say these things in a post game presser where you lost by 35 over 2 games

 

[uconngb]

He needs to start taking some accountability.

Hard to make a judgement on his tone when we're only getting a few quotes from an entire press conference.

Right now he is definitely our best player at both ends. Bouk may become the best but he’s gotta play much better defense and play smarter.

 

[UConnSwag11]

Our best player without a doubt is Akok. He changes the game defensively, can spread the floor offensively, and runs the floor very well. Bouknight is our second best player but might pass Akok soon or next year. Those two along with Gaffney need to play as much as they can. Gaffney and Bouknight are the only ones who can create their own shots

So he fouls out in the 2nd half. Who cares! He needs to be on the floor more and needs to learn how to play with fouls.doing. It’s doing us no good with him on the bench. I hated it when Calhoun sat his kids with 2 fouls in the first half BUT there were plenty of players to pick up the slack. We don’t have that luxury. Keep him in the game.

I don't see it as scapegoating. I think he's challenging Carlton and Vital.
It's not like they came in thinking they had a Zion Williamson coming in.
I think he was hoping Carlton, Vital or Gilbert would take another step. Carlton has been a virtual no-show and Vital is the one who looks like a freshman out there with his erratic play.
I think it's a shot at them. He's saying step up or this is your UConn legacy.

I think Akok is our best player simply because he plays hard every second hes in the game and doesn't let up.

Might be the only one . . .

??? What the does that statement have to do with scapegoating?

I think today's game turned when Akok picked up his second foul. As soon he was sitting, everything changed for UConn. It was like someone let the air out of the rest of the team.

I watched the game on delay on DVR and frequently rewound to review plays and swings in momentum and this was one of my 1st observations.
