UConn men’s basketball coach Dan Hurley on the roster, toughness, and more

The UConn men’s basketball team had its Blue/White scrimmage earlier this week, offering fans a long-awaited glimpse of this year’s team. But before that, head coach Dan Hurley took 20 minutes to speak to reporters, and in that timespan, he provided a lot about the 2022-2023 Huskies.

On the team toughness, defense

“You see potential, but you also see the question marks the team will have to answer. Can we play with that toughness? I have not liked the defensive end of the court. I like the offensive end. The toughness question looms, especially because of the reputation for how we show up on game night in terms of playing with that passion and relentlessness.
