Re: Dan Hurley - Bill Reynolds "For What It's Worth"

From an outside perspective it makes sense. Bill Reynolds doesn't have any more insight than anyone here, and that is typically the way college basketball works. Just take it as a compliment that your coach is highly thought of and enjoy the season.

Re: "Their Father's Sons"- article on the Hurley's

I love Dan's self-deprecating humor. It's right up my alley... Danny’s NBA dreams died much sooner. “I think it was my first Big East game at Seton Hall,” he said, laughing. “We played Georgetown. The first time I went in the lane, Alonzo Mourning put my shot into the third or fourth tier. Then aga...

The box scores tell the story. Officials are no longer allowing URI to maul opponents. We are no longer holding opponents below 50 or even 60. The blizzard game dragged on for 2.5 hours. Games of 50 or more fouls are common. This is a premeditated action on part of the A10 as a result of complaints...

Rhody is still 16th in college basketball in defensive scoring at 58.7, but has given up 69 per contest in the three games it has played in the last week. Part of the problem is the foul trouble in those games, which has both a direct and indirect effect on opponent scoring. URI has averaged over 26...

If he's planning on taking more visits hopefully we are still alive and can get one of them. I know I'm biased but if he is considering playing in the A10 he owes it to himself to check us out, considering what we are building and how he could fit into it.

Ace made the point that the thing that prevents us from stomping on teams is not that we lose focus, but that we just aren't good enough on offense to score enough times in a row to do it.
