RebKell's Junkie Boards

[ArtBest23]

Jeff Walz's press conference tirade about "entitled" players went famously viral. Hey, I guess it worked. His team played harder in beating Kentucky.

It's men's, but I thought Bobby Hurley's rip on his team tonight after his AzSt team got whipped by Purdue in the Jimmy V Classic was pretty excellent:


"We identify ourselves with making jump shots," Hurley said. "Right now we're a soft team and we don't have any backbone. When we didn't make our shots, we folded, we gave in. It was sad to see.

"It's unfortunate that our team didn't even come close to the energy that Jimmy (Valvano) had in his life and his passion. We had no passion for playing. We did a disservice to this game and this event and what he represented."

Not much more to say after that, I guess.
