Hurley is once again out of control, cursing out everyone in sight. He should be T’d up by the end of the game. What an embarrassment to the league and to his school.
Locke just hit a dagger. UConn is toast.
This is the second game in a row where UConn was down a bit later in the game, and they just started flailing, basically. Long term, I think they can improve from this, but half a season worth of blowouts doesn't seem to have made them ready to handle tight games.

Cooley recruited transfers really well. So they essentially have another veteran team back.

It seems to end up as a distraction that his players have to overcome, rather than a motivator. But he's had a ton of success, so what do i know.
When he was at URI my family met him at a local pizza place and he was a really great guy. Reminded me a lot of my brother.

Define "ton of success" for us. I think he's set up UConn for success with great recruiting but I wouldn't say he's had a ton of success yet.

Rebuilt the Rhody dumpster fire and won NCAA games in consecutive years (Creighton, Oklahoma... plus had Rhody in a position to beat Oregon). Gotta respect that... of course he was close to being canned before running the A-10 tourney that first year.
Turned around the UConn program pretty quickly... got them into top 5, prob shouldve been #1 last week instead of mediocre Purdue.
This year his 2 losses have been tough tough games in tough environments.
In fairness last year, the loss to New Mexico State sucked, but that guy on the Aggies couldn't miss.
I think if you gave Hurley, say, DePaul, that they'd be a perennial NCAA team in 3 years.

Friars best two transfers (Hopkins and Carter) are sophomores.
