You are spot on.  I remember during the rise starting in 1986 when UCONN immediately became competitive against some of the Big Dogs of the  Big East.  Then a year to so later they started knocking off these heavyweights in the conference at the time with an occasional victory against Syracuse, St. Johns and then Georgetown.  Every game in the old Big East seemed like a war, the physicality, grit, skill.  There did not seem to be any easy games.  Then we started getting close to 20 wins eventually getting into the NIT eventually getting to 20 wins.  Then we win the NIT.  After that we made the NCAA tournament and did not look back.  The Clifford Robinson teams and then the Chris Smith teams.  It's about this process and the climb.  I'll put my money on Hurley even if I have to use my home as collateral (figuratively speaking).  Essentially that is what UCONN did so we need to ride this train and stay on.  Let's enjoy watching Coach Hurley grow along with our recruiting classes.
