When UConn coach Dan Hurley steered the Huskies to a 75-60 win over Purdue in the national championship on April 8—the team's second straight crown—talk of a three-peat began almost immediately.

Hurley is in discussions to become the next head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers, according to a Thursday morning report from Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN. Hours after that story broke, Fox's John Fanta reported that Hurley was frank about the situation with his team.
