Last night was Hurley's best coaching performance at UConn

Beat Oates, too.

Can’t give Hurley too much credit for that one - he was just in the right place at the right time

He was really good. He's made some changes with this team over the last 3-4 weeks. They are taking hold. I thought he coached a real good game in the Creighton loss too.

He deserves a lot of credit recently, for sure. 4 things that seem to have been addressed and vastly improved:

Moving Adama around to be less predictable and mitigate double teams

Running things for Dre to be closer to the rim where other teams are forced to guard him

Encouraging Hawkins, Karaban and Newton to penetrate more

Showing more faith in Alleyne and Diarra to be significant contributors

We look like the November team again. We won’t be able to rely on shooting nearly 50% from three like in the Marquette and Providence victories but guys seem more willing to get to the rack now if cold from the outside. In January they would have just continued to bomb threes.We’re the best team in the conference and a top 5 team in the country when executing. Should be an exciting next 3-5 weeks.
