I've Seen Enuff...HURLEY IS GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Dooley]

LOVED the energy last night for cupcake #1. Hope this continues as the schedule gets increasingly more difficult.

 

[CL82]

i am cautiously optimistic, but lets see if we can score against the 2-3

We have the tools but I'd feel better about it if the game were later in the season. Would love to see Josh making foul line jumpers all night like the old Calhoun teams.

 

[WrenchFan69]

Let's not forget that Wilson, Yakwe, and Diarra didn't play. The margin of victory with those guys would've been more that 10

Your point stands, but Yakwe did play one minute last night. Looked absolutely lost, but that's to be expected.

In general the most likeable a person can be is right after you first get to know them. You say hello how ya doing, oh what a great guy. Then over time you slowly get to know them. The flaws you never saw on day one become apparent. Eventually you hate them. (just kidding, maybe) Granted this is not for every individual but think how many people were great.... initially. Wait, think about all the love for KO here initially. Remember when we were taking the stairs not the elevator? This is Hurley's honeymoon and yes at this point he's a God. He will be criticized by many on this board before too long. May the honeymoon never end, or at least let it become just a solid marriage.

This is so true. When JC arrived I loved him. Then he lost his second game to Yale and I hated him.

Do you walk outside to get the mail and yell at yourself to get off the lawn? DB post.

There's a lot of that going around. UConn has to get better right quick and gain some younger fans. The base is getting old and crotchety.

I couldn't stand one of longest and closest friends when we first met. In fact, I used to prank him relentlessly. Eventually he wore me down though. Outstanding guy and thoroughly misunderstood by most people who meet him.

I hope Hurley does not get attacked here and he does have slack for quite awhile but anyone who reads the Yard knows it can can be a tough crowd and it will happen. He is the golden boy now though.

There are some bad habits that will eventually wear off. He is teaching you can tell for sure in a few players and things in the game. You hear from the interviews they feel more positive and passionate about the “team” and the coaching they are getting. These are all the initial points needed to now begin the improvement of the players on court games.

He’s doing a great job early but there will still be speed bumps. Still my expectations this year is this team will be a tough out coming February and hopefully their record will have withstood enough tests to give them a chance to make a run at the dance. That would be a successful first year with getting in being a bonus.

 

[jibsey]

He’s obviously a good coach and let’s face it, he has enough talented guards to make this happen. We’re going to find out pretty soon too.

Jalen absolutely needs to start games wide awake. Can't afford no-shows in the first half.

Actually, the base has gotten crotch and scratchity.

The margin would have been bigger if Whaley didn’t get hurt in the first half. He would have kept Harris more in check in the second half.

Schwing!!!

Schwing!!!

3 schwing passes after that low block double team for the open 3. Beautiful game when played right.

Hurley is definitely changing the culture. This does not look like last year’s team and that’s a good thing. These guys are fun to watch

Energy level, defensive intensity, ball and player movement is signficantly better. I don’t know if we can hang with the best but we should be gritty and competitive. Still need to get better down low on the boards.

No joke, I just woke up and saw the score and thought it was the women's game so i went to check the women's stats and saw a different score.

The only explanation was that ESPN has screwed up - it took a little while before I realized it was the men.

Nice to see a true rout!

 

[HawkHusky]

I'd be worried if the Women's team only beat UMKC by 28...

But I still love your reaction!

 

[Kitaman]

Hurley is a preacher, not God yet. Our church is growing though and I'm still a member. I will say his choir (team) is heavenly right now.

Remember Calhoun is still around, and we can only have one.

That was my favorite play of the game. Even Vital passed up a relatively open 3 to pass it around to the weak side for an even more open 3. Now that's basketball.

This is it. We see what we’re gonna get in terms of effort and defense. Whether we can make that into something elite remains to be seen.

Are you referring to the Yakwe outlet from down low to the top of the arc and then the whip arounds to the corner for the trey?

That was the one I was assuming he was talking about.

Yup. Gorgeous basketball.
