Dan Hurley said he wants reigning NCAA champion UConn 'to function like a cult'

Connecticut head coach Dan Hurley celebrates during the net cutting after their win against San Diego State in the men's national championship college basketball game in the NCAA Tournament on Monday, April 3, 2023, in Houston. “You want your group to almost function like you’re a cult, in a good way,” Hurley, 50, said last week at Big East media day at Madison Square Garden.

“We have a chance to be different, we have a chance to make history, but what makes us special is the way we practice, our culture...and how much the people involved in our program care to the max,”The Huskies were picked third in the Big East preseason poll despite being picked No. 6 in the AP Preseason Poll, with only one other Big East outfit, No. 5 Marquette, ahead of them.told reporters

“It’s motivation,” the 7-foot-2 Bristol product said. “Obviously, we love coming out on top. Seeing Alex preseason, me second team and Tristen ... we’re hungry. Because of what we did last year, we want to go do it again. We’re not lying down, let it get to our heads. We’re not complacent. We’re just working to try to go do it again.”To end up going back-to-back, it may take the “Everything” motto, even if that means being a little like a cult.
