The UConn men’s basketball team is no longer ranked No. 1, and head coach Dan Hurley had a very rough night. Newly released footage of Hurley walking off the court following a stunning loss to Creighton shows him exchanging heated words with a fan. Lip-readers think he was saying he would “knock the fan out.”
On Tuesday, the Creighton Bluejays took down the UConn men’s basketball team, and it wasn’t even close. The Bluejays were up 14 at the half and shot over 50 percent from 3-point range, making it hard for UConn to recover. The Huskies’ 14-game winning streak went POOF, and their road record against ranked opponents dropped to 0-21 all-time.
The win was so huge that fans were seemingly shouting colorful phrases at Uconn head coach Dan Hurley mid-game (Warning: NSFW language). To add salt to an already festering wound, as Hurley was leaving the court following the loss, footage captured by people in the building shows him having a heated exchange with a fan in the crowd.
Lip-readers think he told the fan, “I will knock you out.”
WOW. We have received footage of UCONN Coach Dan Hurley telling a Creighton student “I will knock you out”
I’ve always respected what Hurley has done on the court. But this is a bad too far☹️ pic.twitter.com/UAsvfPkuJV
