If Hurley is the Coach we Think He is

[YearoftheHusky]

And I honestly believe he is, we have a chance to win this damn aac tourney and go dancing.

Let's win a road game first before talking about winning the AAC tournament

Still drunk?

Healthy squad and we have a puncher's chance. All we can ask for this year

Honestly Year? I know it’s cold and maybe the bottle is empty by now but seriously? Cmon.

 

[RayIsTheGOAT]

I agree, we can win the AAC tournament. I wouldn't pick us to win it, obviously, but we are capable.
I wouldn't want to play this UConn team going balls to the wall after another 1.5 months of development. Here's to hoping Gilbert, Diarra and maybe even Yakwe are full speed by that time.

 

[YearoftheHusky]

Still drunk?

Yes but that’s not my point.

We have gone head to head with the best in the conference on the road (cincy and ucf... Houston tbd) and had a fighters chance.

We didn’t have that last year.

And i am in Florida so it’s not that cold.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Given how we played vs Cincy and UCF on the road we have as good a chance as anyone. Then I remember the USF and Tulsa games.

 

[Palatine]

Last year, this team folds and UCF beats us 16.

We were horrendous last year, we're less horrendous this year.

This is not even about Hurley’s coaching ability. We are so freaking deficient in the center and big forward department. He’s a very good coach but he needs that talent. Coach K could not make the tourney with this team, neither could Izzo or anyone else.

 

[Austin316]

We have high expectations.... and so does coach. One year at a time ladies. One year at a time.

 

[tcf15]

Honestly, at this point, I just hope they can do enough to play in the NIT. NCAAT is a pipe dream this year.

I actually feel like it's the wing/forward position that is our weakest now. Plus we don't have Diarra or Yakwe. Josh has really stepped up the last 4 games or so.

 

[YearoftheHusky]

We were horrendous last year, we're less horrendous this year.

Yet we have been within a basket and some boneheaded plays away from beating two of the conference’s heavyweights on the road. Hence my point about coaching.

 

[TouchdownHusky]

He'll be fine with better talent. Huge talent gap between UConn and good teams.

 

[TouchdownHusky]

How could this have happened. In football, back 5 to 8 years ago, UConn had no trouble beating UCF. Now it is unthinkable. And now, they can't even beat them in basketball. 4 time national champs lose to the Knights twice. Wow this program has fallen apart.

We're better and tougher than we were last year. Next year, we'll be better and tougher still. We're coming back. It won't be this year, but we're on our way.

Upsets happen. But now they own UConn.

Stop whining.

Anyone who thinks this team will win the AAC tourney when they can’t beat UCF and Tulsa is out if their mind or in denial. Winners win conference tournaments. This team has no idea how to win yet. You guys need to wait for Hurley year-3. Uconn will be Uconn again when they are only losing conference games to Cincinnati, Memphis and Temple.

 

[YearoftheHusky]

Houston aside, do you all actually see us much worse than the rest of the aac?

Ucf or Tulsa could win it too .
