Brain dead inbound plays ( while his inbounder loves to sleepwalk to the ball allowing the other team to set up their full court press, instead of running to get it in quick before they set up)....offense that runs around in circles( kind of like his inbounds plays instead of a quick run away and a hard cut back to the ball, you have 5 secs !) while they play hot potato hand-off with soft players who can't get open( while they get held Big East style) . Players have no clue to even look to attack the basket until it's to late in the shot clock over and over, because they're always in pass mode. Then on the other end...Hurley refuses to play zone D vs. teams( who can't shoot) that do nothing except drive to the rim vs. his man to man that can't guard a chair. Add in the scumbag refs who allowed anything by Seton Hall short of manslaughter, to let them win the game....give up 5 point leads twice ( one was 7 in 36 secs ?) with less than a min, SMH !

HURLEY you should be embarrassed by the weak coaching this year and the level of soft play(ers) you've done nothing to change....since even before Maui ( like vs. Sacred Heart / getting beat off the dribble) ...absolute delusional mindset, stubbornness (rather keep fouling & to proud for zone D ?) and freshman in HS level stuff that should of been fixed !
....End of FRUCKIN RANT !!!!

PS ....don't flatter yourself,

AK taking the high road...but please..... screw DH's slow as molasses screens and sets, learn urgency and inbound fast before the opponents full court press sets up !

The truth is that other than against Creighton which applied ZERO defensive pressure against them, UConn has looked brutal handling the ball against any type of defensive pressure for weeks now, and the TOs are all coming in bunches in critical game situations. When they used it, PG-by-committee did not look so good today, and other than from the hobbled Diarra, UConn got absolutely nothing off the bench today. Too many guys are nonfactors- Mahaney, Reed, Stewart and Ross all were complete NFs today. At the end of the year they need to do a major roster re-assessment because I do not know if they have enough ballhandlers or defenders on the roster.
 
Just too many guys not producing or developing as hoped has caught up to them. They don't have enough good ball-handlers. Mahaney has become increasingly unplayable with the live TOs he makes bringing the ball up against moderate pressure. The team is soft defensively and has been most of the year, prone to high numbers of fouls and rim attacks. These issues make the team unlikely to make a deep NCAA tournament run, assuming they do make the tournament, which isn't looking like a lock at the moment. They need to do a roster re-evaluation at the end of this season. They need more ballhandlers and guys who can really defend. Other than Reed, the UConn bench hasn't been very productive. It has to be bolstered with proven players. I know they thought Mahaney was proven, but he has been miscast as a PG and is undersized as a SG. They just blew it with him, and have to move on. He is a mid major player.
