We're kind of at the same spot that Hurley had with his two rebuilds imo. Maybe year after next. We're not a well-oiled machine exactly, but we have talent coming in, tons of player buy-in, and the offensive/defensive system has been implemented.

Taking the next step in this rebuild and winning 2-3 games every year in the tournament is going to be uncharted waters for Hurley.

IMO overhauling our offense and prioritizing shooters, trusting the talented freshman early, as well as getting more flexible with in-game adjustments is going to be what takes us to a consistent top 25 team.

We did not finish the season the way we wanted to. That having been said, Ken Pom measures quality more than results. There is no question that we have gotten materially better every year since DH took over. This year, the 21st number reflects having played a third of a season without our star, along with the other injuries and stoppages.

We might not be as good next year. We might not be as good next year and still have a better end to the season. But as long as we keep trending up, even if next year is a small step back, we will be fine. 21st best isn't where we want to be, but it's getting there and it's getting there rapidly.

Did we beat anyone above us in the rankings? Maybe USC?

Seeing Hurley mature as an ingame coach will be just as important as seeing the players mature as players. I'm interested to see how this goes.

Who was the other team ranked ahead of UConn in 1999? Probably Michigan State, right? Good team that we beat.

How do you make the argument that it's "too bad?"
Please explain.
They could just run a computer simulation of the field and skip the actual NCAA Tournament games. Wouldn't be much fun to watch though. ;)

Idk how anyone thinks we won’t be better next year. Returning 4/5 starters, a full healthy offseason for everyone. Yes, losing Bouk hurts..but we are replacing his production with a top 10 recruiting class, and Akok. It was never going to be a 1:1 replacement. Our roster has gotten way more talented and will be way way way better by next January. And Hurley isnt done yet, he’s going to add 2 more shooters
