While watching UConn and San Diego State play for the NCAA Tournament title Monday, two thoughts entered my head:
The first was that Arizona State hired the wrong Hurley.
The second, which is the one we’ll focus on here, was that neither of the teams were clearly better than Arizona was this past season. More over, the squads that were playing for the 2023 title certainly weren’t as good as some of the recent-memory Wildcat teams that fell short in the dance.
Oh well.
The NCAA Tournament is not necessarily about being the best team in basketball; just the best team on the floor at that time.
