While UConn cruised to a win over Arkansas on the court in Las Vegas, the Huskies had to deal with some more issues off the court during the men’s NCAA tournament. Coach Dan Hurley told the press after the game that the team had items stolen from their bus during practice at the UNLV campus on Tuesday.
According to UConn athletic director David Benedict, several players had items stolen including center Donovan Clingan’s iPad. Benedict confirmed that a police report was filed afterwards.
“It was a debacle,” Hurley said, via Mike Anthony of the New Haven Register. “Obviously when you play at UConn, you have tremendous resources. The way we travel gives us a chance to pursue championships. It wasn’t what you expected when you got to Las Vegas for the Sweet 16. We didn’t know there would be police reports from day one.”
