UConn coach Dan Hurley was emotional after his team’s NCAA tournament win streak was snapped at 13 by Florida on Sunday.
The coach of the two-time national champions had to fight back tears in his postgame interview with CBS. He said that his team showed honor in the way that it played against one of the pre-tournament favorites. UConn entered the 2025 NCAA tournament as a No. 8 seed and Florida was a No. 1 seed.
“[Florida] showed their quality, I thought we played with tremendous honor, I thought we played with the heart of a championship program and a program that’s gone back-to-back and for a team to end - what we really wanted to do, they were going to have to put us down," Hurley told CBS.
