UConn's path to a three-peat in the men's NCAA tournament was always going to be a longshot as a No. 8 seed. But Dan Hurley still had his team in a prime position to upset top-seeded Florida on Sunday.
A late Florida run ended up being the difference in the Gators' second-round win over UConn, but in the immediate aftermath of the game, Hurley was especially furious about the officiating.

Though the foul distribution was relatively even, Florida attempted 12 more free throws (the struggles at the line actually kept UConn alive late). But with emotions running high after the season-ending loss, Hurley clearly thought that the officiating crew did his team a disservice.
Footage from the tunnel showed Hurley shouting about the refs, sarcastically saying that he hoped Baylor would get better officiating against Duke. Warning: NSFW language in the video
Now, after the game, Hurley was far more complimentary to Florida and didn't use his media session to complain about the refs.
Let's just say that officials Ron Groover, Courtney Green and Tommy Morrissey shouldn't expect holiday cards from Hurley this year.
