Message: [QUOTE="jleves, post: 2706223, member: 757"] Not quite sure why everyone wants to argue that anything less than the NCAA tourney or sweet 16 is the expectation vs not reaching those goals are an indictment of Hurley. We have had 2 straight losing seasons and the new coach had about three weeks to throw together what could be made of an 18/19 lineup with most of the core being made up of players that were on those losing seasons. This is a process that will take several years to determine if Hurley is the answer or the next best possibility that won't work out. There is a lot of things to fix and a long way to go with the next couple recruiting classes to have any answers. If we make the NCAA tourney, it's a significant advancement from where we have been and a good indicator that things may be better going forward. If we don't make the tourney, it's simply a matter of waiting to see how things shake out in 19 and 20. If we're not making the tournament in 2020, then we have a significant problem. Anyone hoping or even expecting Hurley to fail needs to go to another board asap. I said the same thing when Ollie was hired. We need Hurley to be the answer just like we needed Ollie to be the answer. Let's hope we have the answer - anything else is a ridiculous emotional reaction that shouldn't be tolerated. [/QUOTE]
