Message: [QUOTE="SwingDog, post: 3404596, member: 7919"] I'm not sure if that was a tongue-in-cheek comment or sincere, but what is encouraging is hearing what sounds to me like genuine respect for the program from respected coaches like Jay Wright and Gregg Marshall. There is a difference between just being polite versus acknowledging the progress the program has made and mentioning specifics and saying, in essence, "they gave us a run for our money." I love that Coach Hurley said post game yesterday that we weren't respected by Villanova after getting blown out the last two games, and it was priority to earn that respect yesterday, which we did. Remember, last game of the season last year we lost to Houston by 39, and Kelvin Sampson showed the program very little respect, except to make a sort of vague compliment toward Jalen Adams, but then how much respect can you genuinely show for a team you just annihilated? I hope the Huskies remember that game going into Thursday. I sure do. [/QUOTE]
