Hurley rips refs after late foul call as No. 2 UConn falls to Memphis

LAHAINA, Hawaii -- Dan Hurley fell. So did UConn.

Hurley, the often fiery coach of the two-time defending national champions, took particular umbrage with an over-the-back offensive foul call on a rebound against forward Liam McNeeley, which came with the score tied at 92 in the final minute of overtime in what became No. 2 UConn's 99-97 loss to Memphis on Monday in the opening round of the Maui Invitational.

Hurley dropped to his knees and was then assessed a technical foul for his displeasure over the call. PJ Carter hit four straight free throws -- two for the technical and the other pair for the personal foul -- to give Memphis a 96-92 lead with 40.
