Dan Hurley was far from delighted with the service 77-75 Uconn loss In Florida in the second round of the NCAA tournament on Sunday, to the point where Baylor warned, the team in a similar situation faced with seed number 1.
Husky’s Huskyevi had their three chances ended on Sunday afternoon after they passed only shorter Gatorsseed no. 1 in the western region of the March Madness Bracket.
Instead, they started off the field disappointed, and Hurley did not change their words for Baylor Bears who were waiting to take over the Duke Blue Devils, another seed number 1.

“I hope you won’t do it — You like I can’t. I hope they don’t, Baylor,” Hurley shouted in the tunnel.
Hurley’s intensity and dull nature are one of his business cards, and he never comes without explanation.

Talked to reporters after a hard loss about the officialIn particular, without a call against one of his players, Alexa Karaban, after Gators’ player clearly contacted him in an attempt to shoot late in the game.
At the time, Uconn was up, 61-59, with just over three minutes.
“Part (emotion) is probably just a season, how tumultuous the season was,” Hurley began, Via USA Today. “The team fought and fought only to qualify for the tournament, and then as the game played, three on the last media, we have two free -throwing mistakes.
“With past teams, we had such problems, but those games we were in 15-18, so they were not so magnified. And obviously, the caraban drive on the basic line, you know, there was a lot of contact, and we were up there. I think at that moment or two.

Looking at the frame, Florida was called for smaller offenses than Uconna (17 to 24), although they had problems on the free -throw line, which made only 22 out of 34 goals. Huskih missed three of 22 attempts.
“I think when we come back today and watch this movie on the flight, I think it will collapse watching these free throw playing, watching the caraban ending on the basic line with no invitation to it,” Hurley admitted.
Like seed no. 1, Florida is one of the favorites for running the national championship, though there was always a chance that he would have to go through Uconn, who, like Hurley mentioned, struggled to enter the tournament after the up and down campaign.
