I hate Hurley Twelve minutes into the game, Pitino received a technical for arguing a foul call. Hurley immediately received one, too. But that’s when the facts give way to competing stories. At the center of the drama was Tom O’Grady, a longtime friend of Pitino’s sitting courtside by the St. John’s bench. Hurley and O’Grady yelled at each other. Right after the halftime buzzer, Hurley seemed to attempt to have O’Grady ejected, though after disappearing for a bit, O’Grady retook his seat a few minutes into the second. “There was a short guy in a red blazer that was on the court yelling at the refs, and then he started yelling at me, you know, and moving in my direction,” Hurley said, referring to O’Grady in his version of events, with the tiniest of grins. “So I was just kind of pointing out to [the referee] that he was behaving worse than Coach Pitino. I was really just trying to help the officials, you know. They might not have seen it. And then I got a technical for pointing out more increasingly aggressive fans. At courtside you shouldn’t end up on the court.” www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2024/03/16/st-johns-uconn-big-east-basketball/

Shaka started as a phenomenal defensive college coach. Now, he’s a great offensive college coach. Good for him, Marquette and the BE! Too bad JT2 had full control of the GU Basketball purse in 2017…

Cooley just needs to do his part to have a team that wins. What he did this year is not it.

My prediction: UConn rolls tonight w/ no Kolek - sorry, BET record.
Then they lose in the NCAAs. They're crazy good but I'm still betting the field.
Also guessing Crazy Danny does something REALLY dumb in the loss.

Watching finals. It is clear the only way anyone from the current roster could be on the floor, would be with a broom. The physical nature of the game and the game, the speed.
GU needs a complete restructuring. The BEST basketball in the Country.
Anyone on this thread who believes otherwise is delusional.
Great teams at the top of the BIG EAST. Trash at the bottom.

I hope UConn plays Purdue in the final and Edey stuffs Clingan. Just being taller is such a cheap way to win. Just like in business someone will always sell something cheaper, in basketball someone will always be taller. It would be a fitting end. UConn is a very good team but exploiting a 5” advantage at center is such a cheap way to win in my opinion.

UConn is a very good team but exploiting a 5” advantage at center is such a cheap way to win in my opinion. I actually hope the opposite happens. But I’m biased because as much as I dislike UConn, I do like Clingan as a Connecticut kid. If UConn has to win, or make a deep run, I would feel better about it if it included Clingan outplaying Eden head to head.
