UConn's Dan Hurley Again Rips Refs After Loss to Colorado, Blames 'Dreadful' Defense

The officials at the 2024 Maui Invitational likely aren't going to get many holiday cards from UConn head coach Dan Hurley.

Hurley was issued a critical technical foul in the final minute of Monday's overtime loss to Memphis when he protested an over-the-back call against Liam McNeeley. That was surely on his mind Tuesday when officials did not call a potential over-the-back foul on Colorado as it grabbed an offensive rebound to keep a possession alive in the final 30 seconds.

UConn assistant coaches had to hold Hurley back from protesting too much after Tuesday's no-call, and the coach was surely even more upset when that possession ended with Colorado scoring what proved to be the winning basket in a 73-72 victory.
