Message: [QUOTE="Iluvsuebird, post: 5224480, member: 12567"] Pitino a better coach than Dan Hurley: STUPID comment. Can we compare careers when Dan Hurley is done? Because if you evaluate the here and now, Dan Hurley has built a PROGRAM that has won back to back titles with a top 5 class coming next year, whereas Mr. Pitino built a solid team for one year (remember they sucked last year). Easy with the gas lighting. Matchup vs. OU: I think there is enough data here that both sides can claim to be in the correct side. If OU draws a bunch of fouls with smaller guards, that certainly sucks for us. If they make their FT's, well that sucks even more. However, if they are that small, we should feast in the boards and we should block a bunch of shots. And again, remember we have shooters too. The one thing that has not been said here yet: Aidan will not be outmuscled. in this matchup. He should be able to contribute meaningfully. Tourney outlook: Who the heck knows!!!! I was truly shocked watching the Creighton game. I frankly could not believe that we regressed like that, on both sides of the ball. But then, you watch the last 12 minutes and you are come away thinking that UConn is scare when they can make a comeback like that without their top two scorers contributing. I would not bet that UConn makes a long run (if I were a betting man). But I also would not bet that UConn will not catch fire and shock everybody (Sunday included). There is a world where Creighton taught this team valuable lessons. There is also a world where this Creighton game is par for the course for this team. We shall see. I am still picking us to win these two games. [/QUOTE]
