Dunn Hurley wasn't excited to host the 77-75 UConn loss to Florida in the second round of Sunday's NCAA Tournament.
The Harley Husky ended their three-peat chance on Sunday afternoon after just missing the Gators, the No. 1 seed in the Western region of Multimadness Bracket.
Instead, they were disappointed to leave the court and Harley didn't tick his words for the Baylor Bears waiting to be with another No. 1 seed, the Duke Blue Devils.

“I hope they don't do f— you like us. I hope they don't do it to you, Baylor.”
Harley's strength and dull nature are one of his calling cards, and he never comes without explanation.

He spoke with reporters after a severe loss about the host, particularly a no-call against one of his players, Alex Caravan, and after a Gators player made clear contact with him on a shot attempt later in the game.
At the time, UCONN was 61-59 years old and played just over three minutes.
“Part of (feeling) was probably just a season, and how tumultuous the season was,” Harley began. Via USA Today. “The team fought and fought just to qualify for the tournament, and there are two free throw rebound mistakes, how three games were played in the final media (timeout).
“We've had that kind of problem with the past team, but we were 15-18 years old so it wasn't expanding much. And obviously, Karavan Drive at baseline had a lot of contact there and at that point we were thinking one or two potentially.

Looking at the box's score, Florida had fewer fouls than UCONN (17-24), which caused problems at the free throw line, with only 22 of 34 shots. The Husky missed three of their 22 attempts.
“If you go back on today's flight and watch this movie, you'll see the free throw rebound play again, watch the Caravan finish at the baseline, see the no-call about it, and I think it'll be crushed,” Harley admitted.
Florida is one of his favourites to run national championships as the number one seed, but as Harley mentioned, there was always a chance he had to pass UConn, who fought to enter the tournament after the up and down campaign.
