Reality is, it’s incredibly difficult to win a NC.  Winning two back to back in the fashion UConn and Dan Hurley have done made it look very easy.
If I’m being honest, I was drinking the Kool-Aid and thinking this staff will do it again.  I’m still bullish but maybe a little more realistic that this team has some work to do.  But
I’m not sure why Dan Hurley is being scrutinized by some for what he’s said or done.  The guy owes us nothing.  He’s recruiting, selling the program and getting his players to buy in to the goal:  winning a 3rd Natty.
this team got a little exposed in Maui.  It was humbling for the team, humbling for Hurley, and for the fan base.  But it was freaking November. 
There is too much talent on this team and I am certain we have the best staff in CBB, so I think Maui was a learning not the new norm. 
There are a lot of new parts to this squad.  On top of that, you are banking on other players taking a step forward in their development.
I don’t know where this season lands.  The odds would say not to expect a 3rd Natty.  But as a fan I’m  certainly hoping that’s the outcome.  Right or wrong, that’s the bar for this year and probably the next few years.
