No Players at Presser

[NJHusky]

According to Fanta

From the NCAA: Dan Hurley’s press conference today at State Farm Stadium from 3:20-3:40 pm PT is still on as scheduled.

UConn’s players will not be available to the media today due to their late arrival into Arizona.

No napping, at least nothing longer than 30 minutes. Power through until the evening, hit the pillow early and get a full night's sleep.

Agreed. It's bad for the people who like to watch, however it is a positive for those who participate.

 

[brihman]

Hurley will more than make up for it. I hope he comes in hot

Let him watch what is being consecrated here. And I want the people to watch what is going to be consecrated here. And I will bring my son down here, and he will watch.

Looks like the rooms or beds aren’t too big.

The classless move here was by the NCAA getting us in at 3 a.m. local time.

 

[QDOG5]

You are a total d bag.

I know we are fired up and pissed off about the flight delay but @kobe is just goofing around.

When you type a sentence, try using capital letters at the beginning of them. Or is that a Cincinnati thing? Oh yeah, proper names like “Hurley“ should also be capitalized .

A full size bed measures 54 inches wide by 75 inches long, which is wider than a twin but narrower and shorter than a queen. DC measures 85 inches long. Do the math for everyone else. These beds are not adequate for a basketball team.

In my considered opinion, "pretty classless" is neither "very humble" nor does it evidence enough of a context-conscious perspective to qualify as objective.

Perhaps you or "the media" can pursue the 'controversy' angle and boost the game's popularity.

As is, I'll wager there are some story ideas in there in the situation. Here are two:

"Coach Emphasizes Players' Healthy Self-care in Response to Incomparable Travel Delay"

"NCAA Travel Arrangements Result in Extreme Hardship for a Final Four Participant"

BOTH of the above headlines could be written with news emphasis.

EITHER story could generate opinion pieces across a spectrum of approval and drama. And there might even be some investigative journalism possibilities.

I know we are fired up and pissed off about the flight delay but @kobe is just goofing around.

Hold on a second. Don't forfeit the "both/and" possibility for the outdated, low-effort "either/or" paradigm.

If the team is at the Hotel Palomar, according to their website all their rooms have either 2 queen beds or 1 king. No mention of twin or full beds. But it seems that basketball players should have king beds.

Which means the full beds came from outside the hotel........
