Another season has come and gone, but on the edge of seventeen, I’m far from all alone. The epilogue was 12,329 words this year, but introspective, memorable, and a perfect segue into the next phase of my coverage. Read and enjoy my 17th-year recap: dalydoseofhoops.blogspot.com/2026/04/on-edg…

Hurley on what his wife, Andrea, might say had he taken the Kentucky job: “We just went to Rhode Island, which I had to drag her to, and then to Connecticut, I got her closer (to New Jersey). I can’t afford a divorce right now, I just started making money.” #UConn #BleedBlue

Pitino: “Young people are different these days. I’m still struggling with it…I’m not quitting like some other coaches, but I’m struggling. I gave up drinking for New Year’s, but after today, I think I might have the shortest resolution in the history of mankind.” #sjubb

Rick Pitino: “My vision is to play every game at Madison Square Garden, conference-wise. It has to be at a major facility. Carnesecca Arena is not big enough for the brand of basketball we’re gonna build.” #sjubb

Pitino: “We kind of lost this season with the way we recruited. We recruited the antithesis of the way I coach. It’s a good group, they try hard, but they’re just not very tough.” #sjubb

Pitino: “I told Mullin when I first got the job, I said, ‘Chris, I’m nothing in this program compared to you. This is your home, your program. I’m just a caretaker for Lou, that’s all I am. So please come back to your home. You’re the most celebrated player in history.’” #sjubb

Pitino: “We are so unathletic that we can’t guard anybody without fouling. For me, I’ve always enjoyed the first year, and I’m not gonna lie to you: This is the most unenjoyable experience of my lifetime. This has been so disappointing.” #sjubb

Hurley: “I was a coach on the hot seat going into ’23, just ask Dave Benedict. Then when Alex Karaban put on the uniform, and Hass and Samson, those players change your life.” #UConn

Hurley on Tristen Newton: “He should be talked about as one of the best guards in the country, but people who watch TikTok highlights and don’t watch the game are the ones judging. They don’t know shit.” #UConn #BleedBlue

Seven straight out of the half for #UConn, and Underwood will talk. I’ll let the crowd tell the story.

Rick Pitino: “We need to get in a multi-bid league. I think the Atlantic 10 — with Loyola Chicago coming in, Archie Miller taking over at Rhode Island and Frank Martin at UMass — is gonna take off.” #ICMBB
