Here We Go Again: Dan Hurley Is Pissed That A Ranking System Has UConn 9th Going Into The Season, We All Gotta Stop Giving Him Ammo

If you're a diehard college basketball fan you know who Evan Miya is. He's great, useful for stats and analytics, all that stuff. BUT, come on man. We can't give Dan Hurley a free pass to get pissed off and use this as bulletin board material. Can't have Dan Hurley tweeting about it when we're less than a month out from games. Just put UConn number 1 in every poll. I don't care what analytics say, I don't care what your formula spits out, we gotta all come together and find a way to stop this UConn train rolling. 

I've watched far too much basketball to know how this works out. It's going to be Dan Hurley talking about this all the time, especially if UConn gets off to a hot start. Of course they'll get off to a good start, it's UConn. They are dominant right now. I can't even spin it any other way as much as I want to. They are going to be one of the best teams in the country, because how can we say otherwise? The last two years showed us it's dumb to say anything else about UConn and Hurley right now. 

If you're a UConn fan, fine, go ahead and rank them as low as you want. It'll play into your advantage. But everyone else better stop ranking UConn anything besides No. 1. Just rank them there to start the season so Dan Hurley has to find something else to get pissed at. The man thrives on people doubting his team or him. It's why that clip against Nova years ago goes viral every time they have a big win.
