Things Get Ugly at UConn’s Big East Exit as Dan Hurley’s Pride Crumbles in Humiliating Loss to Creighton

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?
