Dan Hurley and UConn are headed back to the National Championship Game for the third time in four years. To get there they held off Illinois, 71–62, in the Final Four and to celebrate the Huskies coach headbutted one of his players. This time the person Hurley got up close and personal with was Braylon Mullins, the Elite Eight hero who scored 15 in the win over the Fighting Illini.
After Mullins finished his interview with Tracy Wolfson, he gave his coach a hug before heading to the locker room. Before he could leave Hurley pulled him in for what is now apparently a patented celebratory headbutt.
