UConn's Hurley says there's no 'magic dust' to winning NCAA championships, producing NBA picks
Head coach Dan Hurley of the Connecticut Huskies gestures to his players during the first half of the Maui Invitational against the Memphis Tigers at the Lahaina Civic Center on November 25, 2024 in Lahaina, Hawaii.
But since then the No. 18 Huskies have won four straight, including victories over No. 15 Baylor, at Texas and an impressive 77-71 win over No. 8 Gonzaga in the Hall of Fame series on Saturday night at Madison Square Garden, aka “Storrs South.” Freshman Liam McNeeley went for a game-high 26 points“I think the message for the group is, we don’t have magic dust at UConn,” Hurley told Andy Katz of NCAA.com following his regular press conference Saturday.
Hurley was by no means a shrinking violet against the Bulldogs, who have now lost back-to-back games following an overtime loss to No. 4 Kentucky a week ago Saturday. “But every year or maybe 18 months, I’m going to have a moment where maybe it boils over and maybe the engine runs a little too hot. I’m not going to change a whole lot about my approach because it’s been pretty successful, but I acknowledge that it was a good opportunity to check myself and be better.”Now comes another brutal Big East schedule starting with Xavier on Wednesday and then a trip to Hinkle Fieldhouse Saturday for Butler.
