No coach has been discussed more nationally as of late than Dan Hurley. On Saturday night, the Connecticut head coach and his team sent a message to the rest of the country that the goal of a three-peat shouldn’t be written off.
UConn made a statement with a 77-69 win at Marquette, marking the Huskies’ ninth consecutive win against a top-10 opponent.
