Or 4) Cooley got a dramatic beat down from a team that has dramatically more success and brand recognition coached by a coach with whom he has a long time rivalry in a packed arena filled with enthusiastic fans and his inferiority complex got the better of him.

It’s fine. It has to be tough for Cooley to lose by 18 points to the team that is everything he wishes his team was, and in front of fans giving incredible support that he wishes he had and this after fans of his program, embarrass themselves, and  his university by throwing beer cans onto the court. I could see why he would want to label Connecticut fans. Kind of feels like a cognitive dissonance thing. I’m glad that Dan Hurley is too classy to label Providence fans as thugs.  He doesn’t need to, their actions define them.  Danny is happy here and loves the insane amount of fan support that the gets so he doesn’t need to reflexively try to diminishing other teams fans.

As I said before, I feel a little sorry for Cooley. He seems like an OK guy, but being the head coach of Providence has to be a little disappointing. I am sure takes a toll on him.
