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. It was a blitz of a start by the Huskies, who opened up a 42-20 lead late in the first half and held off a furious second-half surge by the Golden Eagles, handing Shaka Smart’s team its second conference loss.
