To say that this has been a disappointing season for the UConn Huskiesā male basketball team would be a huge understatement, as the back-to-back national champions have already lost six games.
Frustration is beginning to mount, and some fans have even expressed their discontent with boos. Coach Dan Hurley, however, believes they were booing the officials and not him or the team.
Following the game over De Paul, Hurley talked about his decision not to take the Los Angeles Lakers coaching job, stating that heās vowed to have the fansā backs so long as they have his.

āMy UConn fans, while Iām getting crushed by all types of people in the national media, my UConn fans have had my back since Iāve been here and are undyingly loyal to me, and they get that same back from me. Thatās why Iāll never coach basketball in any other place unless you guys just donāt want me here anymore,ā he sentenced.
