To all of the Kentucky fans trying to shitpost our “lack of fan support,” to get Dan Hurley, fuck off. The coach you gave a lifetime contract to, is leaving you for Fayetteville, Arkansas because he didn’t feel support from fans and the administration. The irony is pathetic.

MARRIAGE GOALS “The reality of his accomplishments hadn’t really set in late Monday night outside the UConn locker room but he said it might hit him once he got back to the hotel. Then, Hurley said, he and his wife, Andrea, would probably just sit on the floor and get hammered.”

Like I said, I fully expect Tristen Newton’s name to be on the Huskies of Honor later this week. In addition to his MOP award, the only prerequisite for immediate induction is to win an All-American award. Kemba. Shabazz. Tristen.

The Big 12 left Gonzaga + UConn behind. Both will be better off for it. UConn was made whole by returning to the Big East—it shouldn't forget that. Gonzaga is a one-of-a-kind situation, with options still coming. An inside look at two hoops powerhouses:
