I've lived around the corner from St. Anthony's for 4yrs
JC for 13yrs in total. I didn't realize for at least a year that the Montessori school I walked by all the time was formerly St. Anthony's. It is absolutely wild he built that place into a basketball powerhouse.
It's a great city. Changing a lot and no longer a steal cost of living-wise, but I've loved it.
It's cold comfort for Illinois...
But there was essentially no way they were going to beat Michigan.
They could have gotten Connecticut maybe 3-4 times out of ten, but they gave Michigan their best shot a month ago, at home, and got within 3 with about 5 mins to go... and then got smacked.
My folks are also from there. My dad worked for FDJC.

I was born in JC, and my folks are from there.
I suppose I have a soft spot for anyone that manages to come out of there, especially someone as successful as Hurley.
He and Morgan Wootten are the 2 greatest high school coaches
In US history. St. Anthony's didn't even have a gym.
Hurley's are BD fans. Bobby used to help us out with recruiting too. I honestly wouldn't mind if he replaced Shrews this summer.
Bob Hurley is Jersey City royalty

His dad is a big ND football fan
It’s mentioned a few times in the book about Bob Hurley Sr.’s program, “The Miracle of St. Anthony,” and he’s identified himself as a subway alum in interviews.
I think only one player from that program went to ND, but he was a good one- David Rivers.
It's rare you hear coaches praising the refs that way.
I don't follow BB well enough to know whether that last non-call was traveling or not - I thought it was but what do I know? But Hurley was pretty gracious about it in his comments.
Seriously. This board's gone to the dogs.

He seemed in control and gracious last night.

I like to think Danny is misunderstood
He comes from NJ high school basketball royalty. Maybe he’s crazy, maybe he’s too intense, but I don’t get any sense of malice from him.
First and last time I'll ever root for UM
UConn coach is a jerk.
Great game. UConn actually won the boards (46-39). UM 25-28 from the line. From 3: Uconn 9-33, UM 2-15. UM 36 points in paint vs Uconn 22.
Maybe because the 5 starters are transfers, not Michigan Men
and the coach doesn't seem like a typical Michigan dickbag, I didn't hate them beating UConn, or more specifically, Hurley.

Fk those guys.
Congrats to Michigan
I can't hate. They deserve it. They were the best team almost the entire season.
Give credit where credit is due.
