That’s something that can help our rep. He wouldn’t be there today but for his 6 years at Rhody.

I'm happy and sad about the UConn win. Happy for Dan, sad that URI couldn't hold on to him. Hope they win it.

Just came to say this! Looks like he’s a grad assistant there. I either never knew that or totally forgot.

Feels like yesterday I saw Dan walk into the URI library with boxes of pizza. Now he’s in the Final four with UConn. Life’s a trip.

Re: 2023 CBB Post Season All Things NCAA/NIT
Not for nothing - he gets a reputation for his sideline demeanor, but I never hear any other P6 coach talk as much about his family and mean it as Dan. He’s a genuinely good person unlike a lot of others in his position - former local guys especially included.
He deserves every bit of this success.
Happy that we realized where we fucked up with Dan and made the changes so we can get the right guy to get us back and keep us there.

Re: 2023 CBB Post Season All Things NCAA/NIT
Hurley's getting hit with a lot less technical fouls than he used to, which has also helped the team's composure. Kudos to the progress he has made with what looks like the best squad left in the tourney.

Re: 2023 CBB Post Season All Things NCAA/NIT
Haha some of that is selection bias. He never had anywhere close to this level of offensive talent before. Last years UCONN team was unrecognizable from this one. Whatever he’s doing it’s all around working.
He has the perfect personnel for playing the modern spread Offense.

Does anyone know how much Hurley's bonus from UConn would be if he wins the title?

Re: 2023 CBB Post Season All Things NCAA/NIT
My favorite part of Dan Hurley is he’s as humble as they come. Didn’t forget the grind to get to the top.
In a postgame interview with John Fanta he talked about winning the A10 tourney with URI and going to the big dance. How wins like that and then tonight, getting to cut down the nets, are on a different level.

Of course. Winning a conference title is great. Winning the regional final is another level.

Would be something if UConn plays Creighton in the final.
Might be the only team that could beat them.

Re: 2023 CBB Post Season All Things NCAA/NIT
Like the bias that allows you to select guys that can reliably stick 3s and guys with skills that can't be physically overmatched underneath? That's a good kind of selection biasrhodysurf wrote: ↑1 year agoHaha some of that is selection bias. He never had anywhere close to this level of offensive talent before.

Re: 2023 CBB Post Season All Things NCAA/NIT
Having followed Rhody hoops going back to the 1970's, I have long hated UConn and could care less if they advance. As for their coach, he is now just somebody that I used to know. As he likely doesn't give much thought to URI basketball these days, I myself don't give much thought to him.

Re: 2023 CBB Post Season All Things NCAA/NIT
You’re really wrong about that but if it makes it easier to care less keep saying it. And he literally likened cutting down the nets yesterday to the first time he did it at Rhody in an interview after the game.RF1 wrote: ↑1 year ago Having followed Rhody hoops going back to the 1970's, I have long hated UConn and could care less if they advance.

Very sad to see a certain cross section of Rhody fans who can't be happy for a good guy who delivered on every one of his Day 1 promises here and who continues to speak fondly about his very successful time here on the biggest public stage.

Re: 2023 CBB Post Season All Things NCAA/NIT
But Fatts was a scorer. Newell is a playmaker. He’s looking pass first in his attack; Fatts is shoot first. Newell gave me Kemba vibes maybe even a little Tyson at times. Dominant with the rock.

Last night: Multiple 3s from the logo he didn’t need to take, 25 second dribble with no pass and a terrible shot, trying to go up against the 7 footer and failing every time, careless passes leading to turnovers.
He was great against FAU yes, but his head might have gotten a little too big before the game.

These clips the tournament media team puts together are always so good. Jordan Hawkins is an easy guy to root for. He’ll be drafted, and it will be well-earned.

Re: 2023 CBB Post Season All Things NCAA/NIT
He had 31 assists in the last two games so not sure that squares with your assessment. He got sticky with it in the last 3-4 minutes of the game last night. Nyc kid trying to win it on his own in MSG but they aren’t in that position if he didn’t play out of his mind the entire tourney. He was phenomenal.NYGFan_Section208 wrote: ↑1 year agoYeah, last couple games he has been almost totally shoot first.Rhody15 wrote: ↑1 year agoGot a little too cocky after the MSU game though.bigappleram wrote: ↑1 year ago

Both SD and FAU are excellent examples of adapting to and overcoming the new reality of CBB. I like it because, with the right strategy and some tourney W’s and L’s that brake our way, I believe we can follow their model and paths.PeterRamTime wrote: ↑1 year agoReally happy for them!
