How sure are you? ASU also beat Creighton, but it appears no tips were given from Bobby to Danny.

UConn men to face New Mexico State in NCAA tourney opener in Buffalo

Storrs — UConn drained most of the suspense out of Selection Sunday by building a worthy NCAA tournament resume. Still, it was exciting for the Huskies to see their name pop up Sunday in the West Regi...

"Hurley plans to get a scouting report from his brother, Bobby, who's the head coach at Arizona State, which faced New Mexico State in a closed scrimmage during the preseason.
"We talked on the way in, so he'll be one of my first calls on the way out," Hurley said of his brother."

Just for s&g...

Calhoun after 12 seasons: 200-123 ,619
Calhoun at age 49: 346-200 .634
Hurley after 12 seasons (age 49): 224-151 .597

Calhoun, D1 Career (retired age 70): 877-382 .697

To match Calhoun, Hurley will need to go 653-231 .739, which would be impossible to do by the time he reached 70, but if he coached another 28 years to match Calhoun's 40, he'd need to go a little better than 23-8 each season before he retires at 77.

Some people are simply too literal to understand a joke when they see one.

I haven't gone to the Villanova SB Nation site, but maybe you can answer this question:

Are you Nova fans pissed that you are not in the East where the Sweet 16 and Elite 8 are in Philadelphia?

I’d say “not pissed”.

I think there is a good case that Nova, higher ranked, should have the East over Kentucky.

A few points. The committee gave Kentucky preference over Nova. Ok, you can make a case for that (polls disagree). It is an anomaly that the East venue is closer to Kentucky than the South venue. (South to me means something like an Atlanta venue, not Texas).

Also, I like our 7/10 over the East’s, and projecting forward I’d rather have Tennessee than Purdue. (Not taking early rounds for granted!)

The Kentucky favoring by the committee is annoying, but I’m not pissed. It’s all about match-ups, and there is no easy road, but I prefer the South match-up’s over the East.

On JC, I think there is a narrative that UConn doesn’t have the history, and is new money vs Duke as an old school blue blood. In fact Duke’s title success only pre-dates UConn’s for a few years.

UConn has a few compliance blemishes. Duke (and UNC) have gone relatively unscathed by the NCAA, but most see that the prosecution is not even handed. JC is underrated and K is revered, at least by ESPN.
 
ASU pre-season scrimmage was against St Mary’s … NMSU pre-season scrimmage was against Texas Tech …

“UNC relatively unscathed”….ya think?! We would’ve received the death penalty had we committed their violations.

I surprise myself by liking Carton. I had a decent commute in 2021 and found myself routinely listening to him and Evan. The guy's ridiculous but pretty funny. There's a good ying and yang between him and evan

Wrong! ASU also had a closed door scrimmage against NMSU

you must know: Dan Hurley may have some insider information about the Aggies—his brother Bob, Arizona State’s head coach, played New Mexico State to a precision, closed-door scrimmage. via CT Post and Massachusetts News
