Thank GOD they got the "oh no, we've lost to the underdog in the first round two straight years" jitters out of the way.
Hurley's got to be positive, I guess, but the post-game interview line about "we played well in the first half, they just made shots" was absolute nonsense. They were not particularly good on offense and they were downright BAD on defense. Yeah, Iona made shots, mostly because nobody was defending most of their shots
The definitely made a complete 180 on the defensive end in the second half and were pretty good on offense as well. Still need to MAKE LAYUPS and tighten up on the bad passes, but that second half is a solid start to a tournament run.
