We are on the climb back.

 

[MaxMan20]

As a current student, there’s a palpable change on campus. People are talking about basketball again, people are invested in this team again. The entire culture is changing. Id go to war w Danny 7 days a week

 

[Husk04ies]

Love this team....so much heart.

 

[Phoenixhusky]

Hurley is so genuine in his love for his players. Who wouldn’t want to play for him?

 

[BugsyCT]

Akok will be back.

 

[Mike1984]

It’s always nice to see former huskies come back and show their love for the program! Bazz Jalen and Facey were all so welcoming to the fans and took time to show their love. It was refreshing to see for sure!

10 toes in!!

 

[Dooooooomed]

goosebumps. love this team/coaches/young alum.

 

[Ts5034]

Loved it, absolutely loved it. Now, if any UConn fan has anything negative to say about Hurley or the staff after what we saw yesterday, then you need to take a hike. That was vintage UConn basketball, that was the toughness and emotion, and family that Jim Calhoun built this thing on, and I feel as comfortable as I ever did with Hurley taking us into war going forward.

So good to hear this. Builds confidence in the guys when campus is hyped. Keep the mojo risin....

James Bouknight must be a fairly popular guy around campus.

The one thing we don’t have to worry about is Hurley’s connection to his kids.

 

[DayDayTFS]

This one is amazing...

 

[YoungFree]

One word for this video:

FAMILY

 

[YoungFree]

This one is amazing...

Needs to be on a recruiting video. This man cares. That's just plain awesome.

 

[Kemba'sYogurt]

This one is amazing...

Andrea Hurley (Dan's wife) tearing up in the background too, if that doesn't show you how much of a family the team is, I'm not sure what will.

 

[LIuconn]

I’d feel kinda slimey leveraging a kid’s horrific injury as a sales tactic. Plenty of other material (jalen Adams chest bump and Hurley slapping the logo should be enough).

 

[Chief00]

Me too.

We are on the climb back.

Grinding back, injuries and all.

 

[UConn_Top_Dog]

When CV walked by Bazz sounded like he said “Yeah my dog...I told you...You ain’t know what this someone was!” CV had goals and he was confident about reaching those goals. Kid is tough as nails. Very Bazz like.

I don’t think we should “use” it. But we should have no qualms with it being public lol

 

[Kitaman]

I see losing so many close games builds a special character and special bond.

These last couple of wins certainly shows Hurley has built a team of brotherhood. Vital's Senior Night I think will be more emotional than usual. But he can at least be comforted that he was the steering wheel in turning our team around and ensuring UConn family tradition marches on.

 

[McLovin]

This team reminds me of the 2012-13 team. Lots of close games when that team had nothing to play for really created a sense of family among the players who rode it out with the program. I feel like the same thing is happening this year with these young men powering through all of the unlucky breaks on the court and off the court. Only going to make them that much stronger going forward.

Oh, and we all remember what followed that 2012-13 season...

Sad that it ever went away. Maybe the students can be less complacent in the future. Even before this downturn, I never got the sense that the team was as popular as it once was in the late 80's through 00's. Maybe the adversity allows all of us to appreciate the team a little bit more.
