'Maybe They Were Too Quick To Throw The Dirt On Us'

We all spent a good amount of time making fun of Dan Hurley and UConn out in Maui.

But I don’t think anyone with a brain was throwing dirt on them just yet.

Weird shit happens in college basketball, especially early in the season.

Both things can be true here.

For most teams, it doesn’t.

If those losses keep adding up, then sure, let’s have a conversation.

Except UConn had more games after Maui.

They had more games that mattered.

A win over Baylor and now a win at Texas.

Hell, they still have a game at MSG against Gonzaga on Saturday.

A win there and Maui becomes completely irrelevant for the most part.

I still love the guy, he’s exactly what college basketball needs.

But there was a turn and that’s awesome.

Dan Hurley should be a villain in college basketball.

Most teams who win titles are villains.

People hate Kentucky/Calipari, Duke, UNC, Kansas/Self.

The only time I can remember a dominant title winner not being a villain was Jay Wright and Nova.

You get the point here.

It’s what college basketball needs.
