Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 2754620, member: 1414"] That's different than saying it's a honeymoon period and Hurley is just benefiting from something like that. I think the enthusiasm and optimism around the direction of the program are grounded in reality. I think this is a tournament team, but honestly, if I just see a team playing hard every minute, and executing fundamental basketball, I'll be pretty happy. I haven't seen it in at least two years. Talent wise, this roster is better than what Dan had at URI last year. How quickly can he fix their problems, that's the question. As for "the next Jim Calhoun", I don't expect one. You don't usually get two such chances. The situation in the American, while not as bad as some NBE fanboys claim, isn't as good as the situation Calhoun had. I expect Hurley can make UConn relevant and in the national conversation (and NCAA tournament) on a regular basis. I think that asking for top 10 level teams is a taller order. [/QUOTE]
