Message: [QUOTE="Hans Sprungfeld, post: 4546671, member: 181"] Apples and oranges. His brief soundbite criticism was centered on telling UConn fans to count their blessings around 3 decades of sustained success. Of course it fit with his own brand-building ambitions, but that is nonethess where his emphasis was. He definitely admitted to the beat down, unambiguously labeling UConn's performance A+ in the full interview. All else is part of his solid media hustle, which is part of the job: "Always be closing." We don't have to buy it. He's not "Aw shucks" Roy Williams doing Huckleberry Hound, or many others much worse. He's a Big East guy, and that's our conference. Just keep beating his teams when we play them. [/QUOTE]
