Message: [QUOTE="Senor Blue, post: 4225338, member: 11885"] Hurley doesn't have to be Calhoun. He has to be Hurley. He inherited a dead program and made it competitive and nationally relevant in 3 years. Winning an NCAA championship is basically a fluke on it's face. 6 games back to back. It's as much about matchups and bounces, as it is "who's better." If you want to win, you have to get there and get a good seed (unless you're Shabazz and the #7). Hurley is doing the heavy lifting - he turned the program around and is getting us a top 5 seed. Back to back dances after being a joke of a program in the AAC. Also, there's no way we're back in the Big East this quick without someone like Hurley making those demands. Football was driving the bus until he spoke up. I would say the 6 game test was passed with flying colors - especially if they win Saturday. Either way you're slated for the bye, and you're going to line-up with either SHU/Marquette and PC or Nova to get to the final. Big picture: we're back. Be happy. [/QUOTE]
