But if our #6thman is relegated to #7thman, is our #8thman really good enough to become our #9thman? Most stressful offseason EVER!!!

I don't think it's a "deflection from having to give Hurley any credit."

What's resulted in this pile up is the claim that facing Duke would've been better for our chances of victory than UCONN (there's been numerous posts asserting that).

The reasoning for that claim has been Scheyer's an awful coach and Hurley's an awe-inspiring coach.

To that, people are just pointing out the final play of the Duke game didn't have anything to do with Scheyer or Hurley, and was just a fluky sequence of events in the most pivotal moment.

Coaching or not, there is hard data over three games showing that system they run has us by the balls defensively. 3 lowest scoring games over three years isn't coincidence.

*sigh* I never would've guessed I'd long for the days when the Loyalty board debate was about USC's bench prowess... yet here we are.
