TWO DAYS AFTER UConn returned home from a disastrous 0-3 trip to the Maui Invitational, Dan Hurley took to the podium following the Huskies' 99-45 win over Maryland-Eastern Shore -- and dealt a blow to the multiteam event (MTE) format that has been a mainstay of the college basketball calendar.
"I'm not doing another three-game MTE again," Hurley said. "Moving forward, we will only play home-and-homes and single-game events in big-time arenas. I don't think I'll ever do a three-game MTE again."
While it might have come across as sour grapes, Hurley's comments were not just a reaction to the previous few days.
