UConn’s Dan Hurley Had Heated Moment With Creighton Fan Moments After Upset Loss
The No. 1 UConn Huskies went on the road Tuesday night and had their 14-game winning streak come to a crushing end with an 85-66 loss to the No. 15-ranked Creighton Bluejays.
The Huskies (24–3, 14–2 Big East) have looked like the best team in the country for much of the season and should be primed to pursue their second national title in a row when the NCAA Tournament starts in March, but they struggled mightily in Omaha against Creighton (20–7, 11-5).
UConn head coach Dan Hurley wasn’t happy after the loss, as he appeared to have a heated run-in with a Bluejays fan while leaving the court:
WOW. We have received footage of UCONN Coach Dan Hurley telling a Creighton student “I will knock you out”

I’ve always respected what Hurley has done on the court. But this is a bad too far☹️ pic.twitter.com/UAsvfPkuJV
Not the best of looks there for Hurley. The Huskies will look to bounce back when they host Villanova on Saturday night.
