Very bad look.Love Hurley, but just move on man. Thats a soft thing to say to the media even if it’s how he really feels.

They’re supposed to be professionals. And they’re supposed to be being graded on their officiating which in theory should affect postseason assignments. Honestly they liked like a high school crew in OT. The sport deserves better than petty vendettas. Step up, Commissioner Val. And don’t be useless for a change, NCAA.Another example of what @superjohn referred to earlier. Hurley has said this so much about being defending/back2back champs and getting calls. First of all, slightly delusional, second of all, we likely don’t get calls sometimes because refs don’t like Hurley. There have been reports of it. I expected him to own up a bit, I am disappointed.
I love it.Sounds like sour grapes. Don’t love the quote. Focus accountability on the poor play outside of the refs
Me too.I love it.
No he's superstitious. Now that they lost I will be shocked if it isn't changedHe’s stubborn when it comes to his lineups.
It obviously needs to change. I'm a big supporter of Mahaney because I know he's better than what he's shown but when he's on the court with some of these lineups it makes us look fairly unathletic. We play faster with Diarra on the court but I want Hass to remain our disruptor off the bench and Samson clearly needs to join him coming off the bench for the speed lineup. The problem is Mahaney's best role is off the bench as well but as a scorer/shooter.With the way they are playing, we aren’t gonna beat good teams with Mahaney and Samson starting. Maybe they come around, but being cute with the lineups should probably stop now.
Mahaney can't play defense. The season will go as far as he allows usMahaney will be fine but he needs to be off-ball, he does not initiate and drive the ball like we need him to.
Need someone to drive the ball.
Well…So is Hurley.They’re supposed to be professionals. And they’re supposed to be being graded on their officiating which in theory should affect postseason assignments. Honestly they liked like a high school crew in OT. The sport deserves better than petty vendettas. Step up, Commissioner Val. And don’t be useless for a change, NCAA.
There may be a big difference in quality of opponents on the loser side. Missed opportunity.
The quality won't be too bad. We'll get Colorado or MSU, which is a wash, basically, and then we could get either Auburn or ISU, another wash.Guard play will be our biggest weakness. Mahaney was suppsed to replace Tristen but has looked more like Joey California, unfortunately. I'm not really even seeing the flashes of brilliance you'd hope for from a guard making the transition to a new program. Diarra is a solid 6th-man, no doubt.
What you said makes sense…it’ll never happen.They’re supposed to be professionals. And they’re supposed to be being graded on their officiating which in theory should affect postseason assignments.

we beat auburn in maui 2 years ago was that in the consolation bracket?You mean like last year and the year before?
Hurley deserves the benefit of the doubt from us after winning two titles and going through stuff like this before. If he feels that this is playing the long game to get a more fair whistle I’m more than okay with it costing a game in November. We are asking for fairness not a whistle in the Huskies’ favor.Well…So is Hurley.
Mostly because Val and the NCAA office are incompetent.What you said makes sense…it’ll never happen.
To be fair, he was excellent in the game's final six minutes.I have all the confidence in Ball. He has all the tools - no clue why he struggles.
I can't find the press conference, does anyone have a link?That’s not all he said. It’s one excerpt from a whole press conference. The refs were atrocious. He also gave Memphis a lot of credut
Agree on Nowell. I'm not sure if it matters who starts at center, today was not a game for Samson Johnson. Samson can be effective against smaller quicker teams and we need to protect Reed from fouling out.It obviously needs to change. I'm a big supporter of Mahaney because I know he's better than what he's shown but when he's on the court with some of these lineups it makes us look fairly unathletic. We play faster with Diarra on the court but I want Hass to remain our disruptor off the bench and Samson clearly needs to join him coming off the bench for the speed lineup. The problem is Mahaney's best role is off the bench as well but as a scorer/shooter.
I'm not sure what the fix is but I want Liam, Solo, and Jaylin on the court together with their length and athleticism. Ross too but he's still raw. Nowell needs a fairly long look at point guard or we need to go more positionless I think. Liam and Jaylin both can handle and pass. Can we do things without a traditional point guard for long stretches?
Pat Driscoll and he may be the best ref in the game. He is not the ref to blameWhy not. Lead official is Steve Driscoll who has a long history of terrible and inconsistent calls again UCONN. Will be interesting too see how he treats us in Big East games this year.
We can't base our season on Mahaney learning how to become a very good point guard and improving a ton on defense. Newton is simply bigger than him, more physical, and was getting 5 assists per game before he came to UConn and he had the advantage of playing alongside Spencer and Castle who had size and could play point, and Jackson the year before who had size and could play point.Mahaney can't play defense. The season will go as far as he allows us
