Masterful job from the opening tip. Found the mismatches and wore PC down in the 2nd half.
Yes, he was real good last night.
Going in to this season there was some legitimate(?) concern about him matching wits with the more established coaches. This year he's beaten Cooley, beaten McDermott and beaten Smart. There's room to grow but he's buried a few demons or something to tha effect.
Next up, wins on the road against Top 25 teams. That will have to wait until next year.

Kimani had the scout last night.We've had some great wins but this is up there.
Anyone know who had the scout? That was an A+ job. You could see our guys anticipating the offense in real time.
There were times I thought he was going to get a technical going out onto the court. Haven’t seen an assistant coach be as active on the sidelines since Howie Dickenman under JC.Kimani had the scout last night.

Kimani was 'all in' last night.. Very animatedThere were times I thought he was going to get a technical going out onto the court. Haven’t seen an assistant coach be as active on the sidelines since Howie Dickenman under JC.
We’re very fortunate to have Kimani. He should get some head coaching looks soon, very deservedly so.Kimani had the scout last night.
When he was in the corner they were sagging pretty far off (and he cut and got a layup on the 2nd possession). When he had the ball at the top of the key they were giving him a cushion, but not quite as far as like the Creighton sag. Watching replay, I saw at least one instance of Cooley making a back up hand gesture to his guy guarding Andre to sag further.Anyone else find it odd that providence didn’t seem to sag off Andre as aggressively as others have?
Beat Oates, too.Yes, he was real good last night.

I’m not sure whether it’s the guys seeing the floor better or whether it’s Hurley teaching the offense for better understanding, but last night I saw a lot more recognition of openings, options and defensive gaps than I’ve seen previously. A lightbulb showed up over lots of heads.
Karaban’s set off-ball screens for Hawkins and dove to the goal for layups. Jackson worked out of the corners a lot more, and created space for Hawkins and Newton to get in the lane. Sanogo moved around quite a bit, in the lane and on the perimeter, and that stressed the D. There were more than a couple high-low passes that worked. They found the open guy more often than not for a really good shot. We shot well, but they were also good shots.
Credit all around.
We are. And anyone who's been to the open practices in recent years would see just how important he is to what they do. He runs a lot of the show.We’re very fortunate to have Kimani. He should get some head coaching looks soon, very deservedly so.
