UCONN in big trouble

Hurley temper tantrum cost them the game. Don’t blame him for being pissed at the call, but he is out of control with his anger. Get a grip and control yourself.

Hurley has to watch himself now this. Feel like he is going to be a bit marked now with the officials.
 
Excellent game to watch. Loss is no big deal. Wouldn't go undefeated anyway: see them losing four of five in Big East. Game showed need to steady their point guard spot.

Agree about PG. They can be pressured there. Several notches below what they’ve had the past few seasons. But good game for UCONN to figure out where they are after playing absolutely no one before Memphis.
 
The calls were crazy, like this one where Solo Ball fouled a kids elbow with his chin.



That said, working the refs has to be done with the purpose. With practically no time left, it makes zero sense to do it.

Yeah Hurley is fiery, but you have to judge people in their totality. Dan has some flaws, but overall, I'm glad to have him on our bench.

Strongly agree that point guard is our weakness right now. We need Mahaney to adjust to big boy basketball. Otherwise the kid is going to get eaten alive with the physicality of big east basketball.
 
You have to give the offensive player space. You can't stick you face that close to him.
 
The serenity of the Hawaiian islands finally met its match with Dan Hurley's temper. He's the one man the island can't calm -- the exception to prove the rule. He had his mean mug working from the first whistle.

Really, I don't care but I have to imagine any official that is subjected to his verbal barrage for two hours a night has to fight to keep his composure. Maybe the Big East refs, like Pat Driscoll, have learned to ignore him.

Nobody doubts that he's a tremendous coach but he's given a lot of slack in the way he works officials because he's constantly going at them and doing so in a demonstrative way.
