Re: 2024 NCAA/NIT Post Season Tournaments - All Things
What was fascinating was how good UConn guards were on both defense and offense. This was masterful display of the UConn's staff's understanding of how to play Edey and limit the three point shooting of Purdue. Purdue guards did not measure up UConn's and they scored a combined 17 points. That does...

His behavior was borderline embarrassing. He acknowledged it at some point and definitely reined it in...

Hurley isn't leaving UConn. Certainly not before he passes Calhoun for titles. Then - it would be more likely he retires. Just like when I said Kentucky would be open, and Dan would use this as leverage to improve UConn (assistant's pay, NIL, etc), Dan isn't doing another rebuild. He's a God in a p...
