00:00What did you think of Danny Hurley's team's collapse in Maui and how they tumbled all

00:11the way 23 spots to number 25 in the polls this week?

00:16How are they still ranked?

00:17Yeah.

00:18I mean, I don't pay attention to the polls ever.

00:20In college basketball, they just don't mean anything to me.

00:23But you know, UConn, I mean, that's weird.

00:27It was just weird, surreal to see that they lost those three games, went 0-3 in that tournament.

00:33And Hurley was just losing his mind.

00:35And it's funny because he's got a lot of Bob Knight in him, right?

00:40You know, he's got the fiery temper that he can barely control and sometimes doesn't control.

00:47But he's a great coach and gets these great teams put together and wins championships.

00:53But yeah, he's got a bit of work ahead to get this team's confidence back and going

00:59the right way.

01:00But there's too much talent on this team for this to be a season long malaise.

01:04Yeah, but I don't think and I never did that they were going to win three titles in a row.

01:10I commend them for two.

01:12That was incredible.

01:13But all those guys went to the NBA and they had caravans standing there and they act like

01:17they're going to win another title.

01:18It's not happening.

01:19Yeah.

01:20Well, two in a row is hard even when you have most of your team back.

01:23So yeah, it's a tough job and three in a row is going to be tough.

01:27And there's really good teams out there.

01:28There's a really good competition this season.

01:32I watched a good game, the San Diego State upset of Houston the other night.

01:36Oh, I didn't.

01:37I missed that one.

01:38I'm so immersed in football right now.

01:40I'm not getting to watch a lot of basketball.

01:42But I saw that or Houston has got, they've got three losses now too, don't they?

01:46I mean, they played a tough schedule, but San Diego State got smoked by Gonzaga at

01:51home just last week and then they turn around and beat Houston.

01:53That's a great win for them.
