No doubt, Dan Hurley and UConn got some national championship experience. Earlier in the beginning of the regular season, if you were to place a bet, it would have been them for sure. That’s why when Hurley clinched a game against Creighton, he taunted Omaha fans with a two-ring comment as he was leaving the court. Days since then, it looks like the table has been turned upside down.
A humiliating 71-62 loss to Creighton sent the Huskies packing, leaving their championship hopes in shambles. More than just a game, this was a statement—one that UConn wasn’t ready to make. The Bluejays shot an absurd 75% in the first half, exposing every defensive flaw in Hurley’s playbook. By the time UConn mounted a desperate comeback, the damage was already done. But how did it get this bad?
