One thing that made me happy.

[Palatine]

As Illinois clawed their way back in with full court pressure --- Hurley actually ran an inbounds play!!!!! We lined up four guys in the backcourt. Two ran into the front court one ran left and one curled around. And it worked perfectly!!!

We could have used that play against Seton Hall. I had, sort of, given up hope that Hurley would ever change. That the "just execute" mantra would rule the day. But the guy just keeps evolving. It just a reminder of where he is now versus where he was playing New Mexico. It's why he will have his picture hanging in a building in Springfield.

Yep, it's just a little thing. But it is an indicator, an indicator of how lucky we are to have that maniac on the bench, on our side wearing Huskies t-shirts. It makes me very happy.

Good point, considering how nightmarish our late game inbounding often was last season.
