Wow UConn and Marquette both go down

Hurls' last press conference was a pretty good listen. He basically dared them not to rank them #1, but wasn't going to worry about it. Haven't watched them enough to say, but, doesn't seem like a stretch to me. Love the way he gives credit to his players..."there's a reason we blew through that tournament last year...we had great players"

He was answering a question (which I didn't hear because it seems they follow the 'don't give the questioner a mic' strategy) but said something (about someone) that might apply to Foulmena...to the effect of learning how to break contact, get off bodies and use his athleticism, stop wrestling so much, high point the ball and use his gifts.

Dan, really has UConn playing well. Wow.

They are 21-2 overall with only 1 loss in the NBE and blowing out GT by 20 in the first half on the road.

Also, amazing how much the 3 pt shot has changed the coaching and player mindset/decision making in the game.

I just saw a GT player drive to the hoop, beat his man in the lane, go up for an open layup but at the last second he kicked it to the corner for a 3 that ended up being contested and not taken. Luckily, the GT player faked the 3 attempt and dribbled closer to hit a tough 2 to get 2 points on the possession anyway.

I was never coached to do that when I played. I was coached to take the easy basket (an open layup) in that type of situation. Just wild how decision making has changed since I last played organized ball 20 yrs ago.

Drums let’s get our former coach back to back nattys !

Thorr could then say he hired a future 2 time national championship coach !

I am down with seeing Dan go back to back, Reef.

Usually I would never pull for UConn but I’m a DH guy so I’m rooting for him

[Jdrums#3]

Dan is arguably the best coach in college basketball currently. He has gotten better and better.

Keep an eye on him going to the NBA in the future , probably about 5 or so years away but it’s definitely a possibility

I could see that challenge stoking his competitive flame, Reef.

I think he could go NBA tomorrow if he wanted. Someone would hire him. Does he want to though? Yet?

I don’t know if he smash mouth rah rah act is a good fit in the NBA.

He’s a perfect perfect college coach and should stay.

Plenty of top notch college coaches fail in the pros.

Just off top of my head, Caliapri, Pitino, Saban all bombed.

If he goes back to back someone may offer him big bucks to go to the NBA right now no doubt

Ironically enough, Kevin Ollie is currently the (interim) head coach of the Brooklyn Nets lol

LOL...I reminded my son of that today...I think that is so awesome...(then again, I could really care less about UConn or the NJ Nets, plus, I think UConn did Ollie dirty, regardless of how much he sucked, so could care less)

We were incredibly lucky to have Dan Hurley lead our program.

Yup he’s going to end up in Springfield Mass

Some of you met him as a 10 year old running around the Ryan Center. Andrew’s senior night was special- they clinched the conference regular season championship and crushed Seton Hall (where everyone else in the family went), and he even scored. Danny was a mess. It was great.

Good to have you back Ace , yeah I watched that and was thrilled AH made that 2nd FT , he will remember that for a lifetime

Good stuff, Ace. Thanks.

Don’t be a stranger ‘round these parts.

Good to hear from you Ace!

He rocks ...does he do that everywhere or just at the amp? Either way is super cool

That is fantastic! Love this guy more and more !

[ElmCityRhody]

CLASSIC !

[theblueram]

Definitely my all time favorite coach at URI. He was just a dude with a plan. Wish that included us, but he did very good for URI.

He said go Rhody at the end of his press conference after the PC game in CT earlier this year and that went around Twitter for a bit, so I think he just was playing off of that. I assume it's just after games against PC

Team celebrations with little kids will always get me (Mathew with Micah, Luke with Luke and Cash, Kimani with Khari)

It’s adorable, you have to admit it

Thats so great!!

Love it ! Let’s get back to back Nattys for DH !

[ATPTourFan]

I wanna see Dan’s Huskies tear through the field again. It’s amazing what he can do with that level of talent.

[rambone 78]

And to think how far we could have gone his 1st dance trip with us, if it wasnt for the injury to Hass and a couple of ref bone jobs against Oregon.

[SmartyBarrett]

[RhowdyRam02]

I hate Coach K far more than any grown man should hate a person they've never met

[steviep123]

Is if I couldn't dislike coach k any more. I actually used to like Duke until we faced them in 88. That tech on Kenny Green was the worst and helped Duke win. Their players attitude of "They didn't belong on the same floor as us" was also uncalled for.

[reef]

Garrick 3 quick fouls early in the game changed the complexion, we were right there lost by 1 point and would have played Temple for a 4th time !
