“Crying baby Dan Hurley”: College basketball fans roast UConn HC after heavy loss

Sports are highly competitive, and college basketball fans can be brutal with their comments. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. However, head coach Dan Hurley and his UConn squad have now suffered two losses to the Red Storm in a span of just four weeks.

St. John’s fans didn’t miss the chance to boast about their team’s achievements. They were also relentless with their social media comments towards Dan Hurley. The coach has led the Connecticut Huskies to two national titles. However, he had to watch his boys fall to the superior Red Storm of St. John’s this past Sunday, in a game that ended with a score of 89 to 75.

Dan Hurley “Crybaby”

As expected, the Storm celebrated their triumph over UConn. They also posted on their official X account an image with the final result of the game. Additionally, they accompanied the photo with a clear message, “Blowout Victory.”

It was here that Huskies fans were relentless against Dan Hurley. The responses to the tweet were immediate, and the comments became increasingly direct against one of the NCAA‘s most coveted coaches. For instance, one college basketball fan wrote, “HAHAHA, keep crying Dan Hurley.”

But this wasn’t the only one. The space lent itself to Storm supporters boasting about their team’s victory and superiority on the court. “That was dominant, Dan Hurley was left looking foolish. He seemed firm for most of the second half. No way we could beat this team today,” read another comment.

Bitter Defeat

This loss for the Huskies comes right after Dan Hurley and his boys triumphed over Villanova Wildcats. However, they couldn’t replicate the same against the Red Storm of St. John’s and were left wanting more.

Following this bitter result, Dan Hurley’s team dropped to fourth place in the Big-East standings. Meanwhile, the Red Storm hold firm in first place with a 24-4 record. There are still 4 games left to be played, and we’ll see on Thursday if the Huskies reconcile with victory when they face the Georgetown Hoyas.
