Atlanta Hawks star Trae Young showered praise on UConn head coach Dan Hurley after the Huskies defeated Purdue by the final score of 75-60 in the national championship game of the 2024 NCAA tournament.

"Dan Hurley gonna be considered one of the best to ever do it when his career is over," Young said in a post on X.

The Huskies earned their second title under Hurley after winning the championship game in 2023, becoming the first team to earn back-to-back NCAA tournament titles since Florida in 2006 and 2007. The school now owns six total national championships.
