Hurley vs his old school.
Sun Devils need to win the rebounding battle
Sun Devils need to win the rebounding battle
And they need to quit missing some many shots from point blank range. They leave so many points out on the floor missing layups or easy put backs
He's playing.If Remi Martin is severely limited I think the Devils are in trouble. Anyone know his status for today's game?
It's disappointing the Sun Devils did not advance further but they made it to the NCAA Tournament and won a game so I think the season has to be considered a success.
Hopefully Hurley can build on this foundation.
Hurley has to pick up the recruiting... Dort is a nice addition. But they need better. They need BOTH, a bigger/stronger presence down low, and they desperately need better quality shooters. Cherry is a decent shooter but can't play defense. Lawrence is a decent defender but can't be relied upon on offense.
This season was a success in the sense they put up 23 wins. But they failed in the Pac-12 tournament (a healthy Remy may have gotten them past Oregon and into the championship game), and they were no match for Buffalo today. Seriously, the difference in depth and high-quality talent was stunning between these two teams.
Hurley has a lot of work to do...
No doubt there is a lot of work to do. This has to be considered a major step forward. Hopefully it is the first of many steps to come.
I guess it's a big step forward in terms of results. But, when you look at how miserably bad the PAC 12 has been the last two years, this game also showcased just bad the conference has become. Well before the first half was over, you could tell Buffalo (BUFFALO!) was the far more talented team and was going to win easily. Most of the second half, my Dad and speculated on whether Buffalo would've been undefeated in our conference this year, how many games they would have won the conference by, etc.
I don't know how you fix the shooting of this team. It's not just the threes, IDK if I have ever seen a team blow so many point blank shots in a year. And, still have a winning record.
