🏀 NCAA Tournament Men's Basketball - Outside UVa Thread

Dusty needs to win something first. Hurley has won 2 national titles and been to the championship game last 3 of 4 years.

But I thought Hoo fans think that madness results are random hence why all our early exits???

You can watch the process enough to tell you what the outcomes will be. So sure if you want to set the threshold higher to “prove it,” that’s fine. But he’s going to surpass Hurley soon in outcomes and to me it’s already pretty obvious. Hurley is also a #DonovanClinganMerchant

Some dude at this furniture store is also really glad UConn women lost yesterday.

Ok. I mean even ignoring Tournament results. Their KenPom finishes:

Year -2: 96th
Year -1: 179th
Hurley takes over
Year 1: 98th
Year 2: 52nd
Year 3: 21st
Year 4: 22nd
Year 5: 1st
Year 6: 1st
Year 7: 32nd
Year 8: TBD

It makes no sense, but never doubt the week 6 AP Poll ever again.

This is an enjoyable game. Krivas is a load. Think Michigan probably ends up having too much for Arizona, but this will be a battle.

Soft call for Bradley’s 3rd. Michigan surviving with these smaller lineups with all their bigs having 2 fouls (and Yaxel hurt) against Arizona’s 2-big looks.

Yes yes, I was being mostly tongue in cheek. HOWEVER, I do think:

  1. Hurley got a lot of credit for stuff that was all Clingan
  2. He’s obviously a great coach
  3. What Dusty May has done at FAU and now Michigan has already been almost as impressive and it will be short order where he bypasses Hurley
  4. It’s completely unreasonable to say that “no one is close” to Hurley right now, which was the original post I was responding to.

I’m not rooting for UConn but man I need Dan Hurley head butting Charlie Barker Monday night.

Lol wow how did Mara manage to finish that while getting pushed into the stanchion?

also…Mick Cronin wyd? You had this guy on your team and only got him 30% of available minutes?

Michigan is insane.

Are we really saying Donovan Clingan was the reason for Hurleys success?
