UConn is back in the Big East. You know it, I know it and now Dan Hurley has spoken about it.
The UConn men’s basketball head coach sat down with the media on a teleconference Wednesday to talk the new conference as well as provide updates on the team and how they’re handling the return to campus.
Unsurprisingly, Hurley seemed ecstatic about the conference move.
“Going back to the Big East wasn’t a small win, it was a huge win,” he said. “It brings UConn basketball to its identity. At least from the men’s side, it puts us in a position to, I think, realistically make a run at being that elite program again.
