Dan Hurley ejected as UConn upset by Marquette, may lose No. 1 seed
USA TODAY
UConn coach Dan Hurley was ejected during the final seconds of the Huskies' upset loss to Marquette on March 7.
UConn men's basketball was upset by Marquette on Saturday, March 7, but not before coach Dan Hurley was ejected with less than a second left on the clock.
Huskies guard Silas Demary Jr. attempted a game-tying layup with less than five seconds remaining, but the ball clanked off the backboard and the rim before missing. There was a brief scramble for the rebound, before Marquette ultimately secured the ball and the 68-62 win.
As No. 4 UConn was fouling the Marquette rebounder, Hurley was arguing with a referee on the court and was shown on the broadcast throwing his arms in protest of an apparent call. He received a double-technical foul for arguing and making contact with the referee, which results in an automatic ejection.
