Can the UConn Huskies three-peat in a stacked men’s college basketball field?
Dan Hurley turned down NBA coaching offers to lead the UConn Huskies on a journey for three straight titles, but a stacked field of teams stand in their way.
Sports Seriously
Two-time defending NCAA champion UConn basketball suffered its first season loss on Monday.
Penny Hardaway and Memphis knocked off the No. 2 Huskies with a 99-97 overtime victory in the quarterfinal of The Maui Invitational at Lahaina Civic Center in Maui, Hawaii. The Tigers led by as many as 13 at 87-74 with four minutes remaining but allowed a 20-7 run to send it to overtime.
Solo Ball hit a 3-pointer to tie the game with 1.2 seconds left to send it to an extra period.
However, Hassan Diarra missed a game-winning 3-pointer to give the Tigers the overtime to win. Memphis took the lead on four straight free throws by PJ Carter following a technical foul on UConn coach Dan Hurley and an over-the-back foul on Liam Neeley with 40 seconds remaining, which Hurley protested to pick up the technical.
