I think we all knew that coming off a 14-18 season everything wasnt going to be rainbows, kittens and butterflies.  Our backcourt looked brilliant on Thursday night and very rattled last night.  I am confident that Danny Hurley will find a way to get the 5 guards playing better and tougher.  He has a lot to work with, but AG is shaking off 2 years of rust and only has 15 or so college games under his belt.  JA has to unlearn some bad habits, as he could always get by on natural ability.  He needs to learn to play with more focus and develop a killer mentality.  Even Tarin Smith who is seasoned and mature looked rattled against Iowa.  I have to give Iowa's D and gameplan a lot of the credit for making that trio look ordinary.

I dont think this was a bad loss by any stretch.  Iowa was a bad matchup for UConn and they are probably a better team than many of us realized.  They are 4-0 and none of those games have been close.

I have faith in Hurley.  He has already turned the ship around.  It is just going to take some time to reach cruising speed.
