Dan Hurley Rages at Refs After UConn’s March Madness Defeat to Florida

The Huskies fell to the Florida Gators in a dramatic comeback, ending UConn's bid for a third consecutive national title. The game, which saw Florida overturn a deficit to win, was marked by contentious referee decisions that Hurley vehemently disputed post-game.

The Gators' win was celebrated as a significant achievement, propelling them forward in the tournament.
