Dan Hurley/Kimani Young post game press conference

Haven't watched it yet. Curious if Hurley talked about his ejection.

Congrats on finally beating us little brother. It’s kind of sad to see the court storming and how happy you are to have barely beaten us at home with some controversial calls.

You know we’re going to beat you in the BET and you’re going to lose in the first round of the NCAA tournament right? The funny thing is if Hurley was coaching at the end of the game you would have lost, the guy is a clown and a choker

It sucks when you loose a close one doesn't it? Maybe when your school can match our championship banners then we can talk some trash. In the mean time enjoy the bitter taste.

By the way! Take some lessons from your coach JW a class act that you are far from.

The only negative that I can find from this game is how bone headed Hurley was getting a second technical. That dude is too hard headed for his own good. He was embarrassing tonight.

We had another fiery coach that had some success. What makes you great, can also hurt you sometimes. He's much more the former. Also, the refs need to tune out the coaches some times, and make it more about the game than themselves. Other than the vendetta against Danny, I thought that the refs were pretty good.

Wow. You're as old as I am. That's digging deep into the archives. I see Jeff Adrien, even Oriakhi.

Adrien’s a better comparison. Good call.

Wright's 10-14 against UConn, eh? and three natty's is pretty good but it is <4.

Pretty sure Tyrese Martin is shooting like 90% on 3's right after halftime. Seems like every game he's knocking down 1 or 2 in that first 4 minute stretch

I looked at the last Gillespie drive many times and I think he travelled because of a little stutter step just before/as contact is starting to happen. Look at it on the last replay sequence (i.e. from the baseline).

Coles had to battle some big big east all-time greats. Sanogo definitely reminds me of Coles.

He was a tough kid. He was part of the post-Corny Thompson/Mike McKay era, which was not very bright. Our best player was Earl Kelley, sort of an anti-hero type.

First top 10 win in over a decade? First time we've made back to back NCAA's in a decade. Best the squad has played since 2014.

Dan Hurley has dug us out of our hole

God that's sad. I hadn't realized it had been that long...

2008, 2009, 2011, 2014, 2016, 2021, 2022

Two titles and a Final Four in that run...but wow, the off years have been off.

 

[Dove]

Is there any locker room video of our guys?

 

[UConNick]

Up to 16 in NET this morning. 5-6 Q1, 7-1 Q2, 12-7 combined. Wins over 8 (Nova) and 10 (Auburn). Suddenly that resume isn’t looking too shabby.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Every player did something awesome. Can’t forget the big 3 by Gaffney and holding things down while RJ got an extended breath!

 

[Guapo]

Been waiting for a night like that for a long long time.

Thank you to the fans, the team, Hurley, and Benedict for making it happen

Try living through the 80's before Calhoun showed up.

wow, bunch of old timers on here this morning!
If memory serves, Ewing and Bill Wennington come to mind. Coles was an undersized warrior when good big men were common, especially in the OBE.

Remember the guy John Thompson recruited out of a post office? Michael Graham?

Let’s be smart fans and hold off bragging until we do some serious damage at MSG and the NCAA tournament. Oh yes I am happy as all hell let’s brag once we have the goods.

Have you guys lost your sense of humor?

Deserved to end with a W. For 38 minutes thr offense was crisp and stunningly disciplined. Broke down with a couple bad decisions/shots after the under 4 TO, but got lucky with some calls, nova misses and a couple heroic shots at the end. The tie up was epic, the charge was close but I think correct.

Huge reference marker for the program going forward. Nova played really well. We now know what it takes to beat an elite team when it plays well. Little margin for error. Even with the Techs, there were few fouls given and few TO's.

Trust me I know and I'm a Dan Hurley fan. Just can't let his emotions get the best of him in a big game. He needs to get a little of Jay Wright cool in him when times get crazy. He can't cost the team in these situations. I felt the same way when Calhoun did them. Though it seemed Calhoun knew to do them when the team was playing bad and trying to get them stirred up. This was a tight game where we had the lead. Just my opinion.

Nice! Gaff gets beat up in the yard and he did an admirable job while he was in last night.
