Cincinnati fans used to complain all the time about how Cronin couldn’t win games in the tournament.  All he did was get them to tournament every year.  To have success in the tournament you need great players to win some close games for you.  Also you need some luck.  Now look at Cincinnati without him.

Regardless of what happens in the tournament I think Hurley has done a good job rebuilding  the program, which has lead to getting better recruits.  Next year he brings in his first top 25 player in Castle.  This year we got Karaban and Clingan, who are a cut above the talent we had previously.  Before that his success allowed him to get Jackson, Sanogo, and Hawkins, who were a cut above players he inherited from Ollie.  Regardless oh what happens, this team is better than last year’s team.

If UConn loses this game I think it’s on the players not the coach.  In particular I think it’s on the team captains to lead them to victory.  I think Jackson, Sanogo, and Hawkins will lead us to victory.

UConn doesn’t need a brilliant coaching strategy to win this game.  They just need their players to play loose and to do what they do.  If we make to play Kansas, that’s where we need some killer strategy.
