UConn Coach Dan Hurley Pushes for Top Seed After Big East Tournament Win
UConn coach Dan Hurley is making a strong case for his team to be the top overall seed in the upcoming NCAA tournament. After leading the Huskies to victory in the Big East tournament, Hurley expressed his confidence in his team’s abilities, stating that they are the best in college basketball.
The UConn Huskies claimed their eighth Big East tournament title, matching Georgetown for the most in conference history. The team was led by Donovan Clingan and Jaylin Stewart in their win over Marquette, with Clingan scoring 22 points and grabbing 16 rebounds while Stewart made crucial 3-pointers.
The victory was especially sweet as the Huskies overcame Marquette, who were missing their injured star player Tyler Kolek. UConn fans filled Madison Square Garden, creating a home-game environment for the team, which Hurley credited as a key factor in their success.
Hurley highlighted the team’s accomplishments over the past year and emphasized that they are not done yet. The Huskies improved to 7-0 at MSG this season, showcasing their dominance in the arena.
As the NCAA tournament approaches, UConn fans can expect their team to be a strong contender for the top seed. With Hurley leading the way, the Huskies are determined to continue their winning streak and make a name for themselves in college basketball.
