UConn’s Hurley explains why he ‘wouldn’t want to see Seton Hall’s name drawn next to mine in the NCAA Tournament’

Key Highlights

• 19 loss to current No.
• 1 Arizona.
• “That’s a team that’s going to be right there for the Big East regular season, Big East Tournament.
• And that’s going to be a tough team to beat in the NCAA Tournament.”After falling behind yet again in a Big East game and trailing by as many as 18 in the second half, the Pirates closed to within 65-64 on a corner 3-pointer by Mike Williams.

The Hall had no answer for 6-11 big man Tarris Reed Jr., who went for 21 points and 11 boards against the smaller Pirates front line.
• Karaban added 13 points in his first win at Prudential Center, and Mullins 11.“I’m just proud we got a Big East win and it’s definitely nice to win here,” Karaban said. The good news for the Pirates (14-3, 4-2 Big East) is they roared back yet again after getting down early. The bad news is they missed 10 foul shots (15-of-25) and were a woeful 1-of-16 from deep.“I don’t know, man,” Pirates coach Shaheen Holloway lamented.
