I have been seeing so many posts and threads about how limited we are, and how we just simply aren't that good, etc etc. While that may be true, I can actually see the incredible progress this team has made under Hurley. Aside from the st.joes debacle, and the begining road trip against Cincy and s.fl, I could seriously this team going undefeated the rest of the way if they played with absolute fire, grit and toughness, and lockdown D. Bouknight is growing before our eyes, I saw a different, aggressive and more confident Bouk against Houston. Hurley has been in his ear about hin taking over and being more aggressive and it's only going to get better. The senior guards, even though frustrating as hell, are learning and getting better. Akok is so close to putting it all together, Gaffney continues to get valuable minutes and grow and learn to where Hurley can rely on him. Whaley has listened to everything Hurley has said and is seriously improving, crashing the boards, bringing crazy energy. BA is improved, Sid is getting it. The only real question mark is Carlton, because that one is a mystery to me but I genuinely thing he just doesn't fit in Hurleys system.
If we can just get a win in these close game situations, that will lift this team so much and give them some serious confidence that they can close out a game.
The NCAA is absolutely wide open this year, and we have lost to 5 good teams by a combined 17 points!
Let's get behind this team and use the RaRa approach instead of the insanely negative, this team sucks, blah blah. Let's win the next game, hopefully a close one, and watch where this team can go from there.
