Pantsless Dan Hurley celebrates UConn's incredible March Madness win against Duke
New York Post • • sports
Key Points:
- UConn head coach Dan Hurley celebrated a dramatic 73-72 comeback win over Duke by appearing in the locker room wearing only a towel to protect his lucky March Madness suit.
- Hurley has a superstition of wearing the same navy suit, dress shirt, socks, and red dragon underwear throughout the tournament, believing it brings good luck.
- Despite trailing 44-25 at halftime, Hurley’s adjustments, including relying on center Tarris Reed who scored 26 points, fueled the Huskies’ rally to the Final Four.
- The Huskies will face Illinois on Saturday, a team they previously defeated this season and in the 2024 Elite Eight en route to their second consecutive national championship.
- Hurley’s superstitions and coaching have helped UConn succeed without top-five NBA prospects, continuing their unexpected but impressive tournament run.
