What did you think of Danny Hurley's team's collapse in Maui and how they tumbled all
00:11
the way 23 spots to number 25 in the polls this week?
00:16
How are they still ranked?
00:17
Yeah.
00:18
I mean, I don't pay attention to the polls ever.
00:20
In college basketball, they just don't mean anything to me.
00:23
But you know, UConn, I mean, that's weird.
00:27
It was just weird, surreal to see that they lost those three games, went 0-3 in that tournament.
00:33
And Hurley was just losing his mind.
00:35
And it's funny because he's got a lot of Bob Knight in him, right?
00:40
You know, he's got the fiery temper that he can barely control and sometimes doesn't control.
00:47
But he's a great coach and gets these great teams put together and wins championships.
00:53
But yeah, he's got a bit of work ahead to get this team's confidence back and going
00:59
the right way.
01:00
But there's too much talent on this team for this to be a season long malaise.
01:04
Yeah, but I don't think and I never did that they were going to win three titles in a row.
01:10
I commend them for two.
01:12
That was incredible.
01:13
But all those guys went to the NBA and they had caravans standing there and they act like
01:17
they're going to win another title.
01:18
It's not happening.
01:19
Yeah.
01:20
Well, two in a row is hard even when you have most of your team back.
01:23
So yeah, it's a tough job and three in a row is going to be tough.
01:27
And there's really good teams out there.
01:28
There's a really good competition this season.
01:32
I watched a good game, the San Diego State upset of Houston the other night.
01:36
Oh, I didn't.
01:37
I missed that one.
01:38
I'm so immersed in football right now.
01:40
I'm not getting to watch a lot of basketball.
01:42
But I saw that or Houston has got, they've got three losses now too, don't they?
01:46
I mean, they played a tough schedule, but San Diego State got smoked by Gonzaga at
01:51
home just last week and then they turn around and beat Houston.
01:53
That's a great win for them.
