…but the committee is doing everything they can to make it hard for UConn. I mean, they have to travel from Connecticut to….Boston. Leave it to Hurley to make a virtual home game sound like being assigned to a gulag in Siberia. Oh, and the “early” game time! Yep, the committee really stuck it to ‘em.

Hurley is very unlikable.
I predict we will outclass UCONN, but it will be tough to outplay UCONN.
The Kemba flop game and last year's final have set the stage for a brilliant winning scenario.
Dare we dream it?

About 98% negative regarding his comments.

Almost no one believes the Aztecs can win Thursday. On “paper” UConn has it all??? This Aztec team believes as well as most of our fans do. At this point of the season you have to play your best game to succeed and advance against the top 16 teams in the nation. The Aztecs belong in this grouping and they have proven they have the talent and ability to compete with and it will take their best effort and execution to win
I believe!!!

Dare we dream it? "San Diego State 2024 MCAA Mens Basketball National 🏆 " UConn coach Dan Hurley also believed that the Big East deserved to have more teams in the tournament, on ESPN.com: "Obviously the mistake was made," Hurley said after the defending national champs won their eighth straight tournament game by double digits. "It sucks."The NCAA tournament selection committee left out the next tier of Big East teams: Seton Hall, St. John's, and Providence. Instead, the committee selected two teams from the Mountain West and one each from the ACC and Big 12. "Just the quality of the league; look what we've done in nonconference games," Hurley said in defense of the Big East on Sunday. "I don't know what our record is the last two years, nonconference [multiteam events], NCAA tournament, and Seton Hall beat us by 15. You know, we've won eight straight in this tournament, all by significant margins, and they were good enough to beat us and they were good enough to beat Marquette.
"And there should have been five or six Big East teams in this tournament. You've seen how other leagues that got the bids that our league deserved has underperformed."

Haha. I love the comment there, “SDSU is the only Mountain West team that doesn’t get their ass kicked when it comes to the tournament”.

Leave it to Hurley to make a virtual home game sound like being assigned to a gulag in Siberia. Oh, and the “early” game time! Yep, the committee really stuck it to ‘em. Yeah the committee really screwed UCONN. Made them have to fly home around 8pm Sunday from NY so probably a 90 minute flight at most. Meanwhile we fly home and get in around 3:30am on Monday morning. We wake up groggy around noon and do a walk through at best. Then we have to turnaround and fly 3K miles across the country losing 3 hours going West to East coast on Tuesday. Finally we get to practice on Wednesday and hopefully acclimate to the time zone. Lastly UCONN has like a 30-45 minute flight and is rewarded with a virtual home game being the best New England college basketball team in the area. Tickets have mostly been gone for months so we'll be lucky to have 200-500 fans in the arena with maybe the other two teams 500 or so fans pulling for the upset. That leaves only about 18K+ pulling for UCONN. I gotta believe that this will be Utah St./Grand Canyon/New Mexico/Gonzaga fan base on steroids. No one likes us, we don't care! LFGSDSU!

One of these times we’re gonna get UConn….. UCONN has been our nemesis in the NCAA's. Hopefully third time's the charm. Wouldn’t that just be fabulous. I’ll be there and If we pull this off, I’m gonna talk so much s&it to their insufferable fans that I’ll likely need a security escort out of the Garden.

Their adjusted tempo is 315. Our defenses are comparable, but we played against more efficient scoring teams.
We should RUN. Literally, run them out of the gym.

F Danny Hurley, what an entitled PoS. But, a terrific coach and motivator, he does a helluva job of creating a chip on his teams shoulder even though they’ve been handed every benefit aside from being in a “tough bracket”. They need to be humbled, if not by us, then by someone else not in his little Big East Bubble.

I was on an elevator with 1 other guy in downtown SD the other day and I was wearing a SDSU jacket. This guy goes "so you're a SDSU fan?" and I said "Yeah I get pretty into it, have had season tix since I was a kid" then he super smugly says he's a UConn fan and was gloating about his 2 previous victories over us. Normally I can joke about all that stuff but he totally rubbed me the wrong way with his pompous attitude I hate them

Living on the East Coast for the past 20 years, I can tell y'all that there are some really cool, mostly humble, fun collegiate fan bases over here.
UConn is *not* one of them.

I only want one thing: Hurley to lose his $#!+ at least one time. Want him to freak out sometime during the second half. I'm actually okay if they end up losing as long as the announcers need to call out his lack of composure on the broadcast. I genuinely only cared about a first round anyway. Everything else is icing.

I mean he's right about the teams that they are matched up against. Both the 8/9 and the 4/5 are a tough draw - Final 4 last year in the 8/9, national champion runner up in the 4/5.
