UConn has pulled off statement win after statement win en route to the Final Four, but it was head coach Dan Hurley making a statement of his own after the Huskies sent Gonzaga crashing out of the 2023 NCAA tournament.
In his post-game interview, Hurley briefly discussed UConn's win over the Bulldogs before boldly declaring that the Big East was the best conference in college basketball.
"Just kind of got back to the team that we were early in the season. The Big East conference is the best conference in the country, so we went through some struggles. Once we got out of that league and started playing non-conference teams again, we got back to that team that looked like the best team in the country," said Hurley.
