Hurley.

[Paesano]

Good lord they did so many things right today. Even the little mental stuff like the huddles, touches, celebrating teammates, helping guys up, picking teammates up after mistakes. Just awesome.

And by the way, for those that say fundamentals don't matter in the athletic men's game, you just saw a bunch of fundamentals on display and they worked. More to come...

love how much the syracusefan posters hate him. bring it on!

great night!!

 

[Jaker]

crack!

 

[Stainmaster]

They weren't giving him the respect he clearly earned tonight. That's on them.

@tcf15 time to reset your days since last win over a top 25 team!

Even when they're ranked, is Syracuse even really a "ranked" team?

That’s awesome!

 

[Calhoun's Court]

We are playing 6 on 5 with Hurley on the sidelines. Just like we did with JC.

Nice to know we go into every game and our HC will refuse to get outworked, out coached or taken advantage of by the refs.
Love it !!!!

 

[Lefty2one]

He is the closest thing to Jim Calhoun reincarnate I've seen and somehow we landed him. A match made in heaven. Opposing fans all over the country will hate him. His players will love him.

If you're a HS guard and just watched that game, which school would you rather go to? The one who plays up-tempo, pressure defense, with a modern offense or the one that plays isolation basketball and sits in a 2-3 zone all game?

 

[TRest]

I read the umass hoops board out of habit, they hated Hurley like they hated JC.

Hurley: “This is just the beginning for us.”

Excuse me. I need to change my underwear.

wet or dirty?

 

[EdgewoodNHV]

I'm ready to build a statue of him right now.

 

[Huskyhoops25]

God I love this. Hurley is the man!!

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

It kinda feels like 1990 to me a little bit

Shhh

UMass having a hoops board is the upset of the night. Kudos to them. I love how much these Syracuse losers hate Hurley. Good luck replacing Boeheim.

 

[BlueDogs]

It’s a long season, and we will have some rough spots, but this team and program is already transformed by a remarkably good coach. If you think coaching doesn’t matter, think again.

 

[djct1999]

Thank You Mr. Hurley for bringing UConn Basketball back from the dead. We all owe you a beer!!!!
You are the Man!!!!!
Have not been this excited about UConn Basketball since Shabazz and Boat.
Awesome!!!!!

A beer? He can drink on my tab for life!

What if you're a power forward?

 

[junglehusky]

Love is not too strong of a word to describe what the fanbase is feeling about Hurley right now.

 

[UC1995]

So glad this isn't our coach... so whiny and throws his players under the bus. The game has past him by.

 

[browndog319]

Chest bumps with Jalen!

I think that’s when I started to cry

Yeah and when posters like me were saying we needed him last year people couldn't believe he would make a difference. Well believe now!

"They (UConn) played hard. We're not that kind of team." - Jim Boeheim

And wow at some of those comments he made.

 

[UC1995]

Hes an absolute psycho on the sideline. I love it

They are on their site saying he is an idiot but I bet that SU fans would take him in a second over good ole nose picker right now.
