Andrea Hurley did not like what she saw out of one fellow Big East School this year.
Andrea, the wife of UConn men’s basketball head coach Dan Hurley, appeared over the weekend on The Field of 68 Media Network and discussed the Huskies’ NCAA Tournament run thus far. During the appearance, Andrea called out St. John’s fans for rooting against UConn during UConn’s Elite Eight game against Duke.
“I’m gonna say it,” said Andrea. “We were rooting for St. John’s [against Duke in the Sweet 16]. [But] when [UConn] went to the [Elite Eight] game, all those St. John’s fans were rooting against us. And that broke my heart.
“So that’s really sad, and that’s crappy,” Andrea added. “That was crappy.”
St. John’s lost to Duke in the Sweet 16 by a close final score of 80-75. Duke then advanced to face UConn in the Elite Eight, where UConn won on a dramatic last-second buzzer-beater.
Andrea was clearly expecting St. John’s to be rooting against the team that just beat them (Duke). But it appears that UConn’s two national championships in the past three NCAA seasons have made them the ultimate villain in the college world (along with husband Dan’s own behavior).
