Typical Hurley smh

[smoothcriminal]

What’s funny to me about Hurley is that he goes on a Barstool podcast and says “I don’t give a shot what anybody thinks of me.”

Proceeds to get 2 techs in the last 2 games, tries to fight a UConn fan, kind of gets into it with Shaka last game.

The guy is all talk.

Tried to fight a uconn fan? What are you talking about

On drives, Xavier is much better are drawing contact to get a foul. UConn seems to try to avoid contact.

On the steal on their inbounds, RJ had Andre for a dunk and instead made a cute pass for a turnover.

It was really over right then.

This was a huge play. Andre was out ahead of everyone. Would’ve cut the lead to 2 and given us all the momentum.

End of last game he got into it with a fan

 

[ArizonaHsky]

He shouldn’t be planted at the 3 point line. Us playing Whaley at the 4 does nothing but hurt us.

Martin should be 4 and Whaley should back up Sanogo. That way we can have another shooter out there Polley or Hawkins.

Anytime a team hits the go ahead prayer at half is gonna win the game…can’t remember the last time UConn won when that happened

Where you been? ‘Brutal’: Dan Hurley agitated, embarrassed by UConn men’s basketball team’s loss to Creighton

 

[CaptainRon]

Do you not remember Calhoun purposely getting T’s to fire up his team? Your coach having your back like that goes a lot further than giving up those two points.

It’s like people forget what they complain about is what they used to love…

They didnt need to be fired up. The effort was fine. They needed points and stops.

Three things bothered me:
1) Defensively, Xavier did what any team with an ounce of common sense should- sag off of Whaley and AJ and effectively take Sanogo out of the game. So why wait until the last three minutes of the game to put Hawkins back in and force them to defend the perimeter?
2) I can understand Nunge and Freemantle being a problem for Adama and Whalley on the perimeter, but why were they continuously wide open under the basket?
3) Scruggs was making AJ look silly on defense for a good stretch of that second half.

You could make the argument that Jackson doesn't end up with a technical if Hurley doesn't get one first. Players will model their coaches. Hurley set the stage for aggravation and Jackson followed suit. As a coach, you've got to be more mature than your players and show them how to respond to adversity.

Stop

This was a huge play. Andre was out ahead of everyone. Would’ve cut the lead to 2 and given us all the momentum.

We get the turnover, Martin had sanogo raise his arm for the lob pass and he selfishly tried to lay it up amongst two defenders , which led to a frustrated Jackson getting a tech … just make the right basketball play which this team doesn’t do well

 

[WNConn]

Stop

Why? Immature coaches set the stage for immature moves from players. Hurley's technical was inexcusable. Constantly stomping around and blaming the refs for everything eventually rubs off on players.

 

[mauconnfan]

It was a bad T despite knowing it was a tough call can’t happen. The bad decisions by the players hurt more than anything. RJ missed a wide open AJ for an easy deuce which would have cut it to 2 and had them reeling. Same on Martins attempt to finish which was weak.

Just a bad loss for many reasons they don’t look prepared at all when in close games.

 

[slepers]

They mentioned 6/18 on layups late in second half and I laughed out loud

So are you a husky fan all the time or only on February 24th

 

[slepers]

I do not remember JC getting a T at that point in a game. Refresh my memory.

Are you kidding me

 

[connVA]

I do not remember JC getting a T at that point in a game. Refresh my memory.

In one of the recent postgame pressers Hurley was stressing the importance of the team staying composed in the end of ballgames. Tell you what, Coach- it starts with you.

 

[BigFanCT]

Stop

Why?

 

[Bonamassa]

They busted their a__ but missed too many shots.

I guess you hated cahoun

We looked prepared against Marquette. This is college basketball this year. We’re just inconsistent.

That is the truth

Getting a technical under four minutes to go in a game you’re losing by a few points is incredibly dumb. Calhoun didn’t do that. Hurleys antics kill them late in games, the team feeds off his energy. If the head coach isn’t focused, the team follows suit. It was a tough spot for them to win the game regardless, but I’m pissed about what happened there.

Rj has been bad passing and decision making on the break since he’s been here.

How about Whaley recovering a loose ball and turning it over trying to bring it up court, resulting in a Nunge 3? Just collect the ball and get it to a guard Whaley!

 

[uconnever]

The players make poor decisions over and over again at crucial moments. Can’t blame Hurley, we should have won this game pretty easily. Lots of people here blame the coaching which can use some adjustments, but almost all of the losses can be attributed mostly to poor decisions.

Big first half helped. Should’ve never been close in that one either. It is college basketball this year but for UConn it’s been the pattern for 2-3 years in close games that’s the reality.
