Message: [QUOTE="selles, post: 3463758, member: 1176"] The Athletic asked Hurley to pick 6 plays that demonstrate the team's improvement this year, then they posted the videos and his comments on each. [URL="https://theathletic.com/1654989/2020/03/05/six-plays-that-dan-hurley-says-shows-the-progress-uconn-is-making/"]Six plays that Dan Hurley says shows the progress UConn is...[/URL] He went with - Play in the 1st half vs. Cincy where Akok and Whaley had 3 blocks and then Gaffney took the ball through the lane on a fastbreak and found Vital for 3. - Vital's out of bounds save leading to the Bouk dunk against Memphis. - Carlton outfighting 2 guys for an offensive rebound and putback against Tulsa. - Akok block leading to a fastbreak jumper by Vital against Nova. - Bouk follow slam vs. USF - Polley for 3 then Akok block at the other end and Gilbert finds Polley for a second 3 against Florida. It's a fun read. Interesting Hurley comment about Carlton too: "Josh, I just think probably needed to be leaner. He’s lost some of the movement, a little bit of the athletic ability. And then obviously, when things start going sideways and the confidence starts to go, that becomes another hurdle. I think Josh can be a completely different player next year, and I think he’ll play at the level people thought he’d play at this year." [/QUOTE]
