UConn HC Dan Hurley creates a witty memes fest to hype up Huskies fans for Villanova showdown

Following a disappointing 85-66 loss to the Creighton Blue Jays, UConn head coach Dan Hurley lightened the mood with a hilarious post on X the day after the loss.

Hurley's hilarious reaction has started a flurry of memes fest on social media.

UConn's loss ended their 14-game winning run. Their season record is now 24-3 overall and 14-3 in the Big East. UConn, which sits at the top of the Big East, still leads Marquette and Creighton by three games.

While the loss is significant, it may have little impact on UConn's place in the AP Poll, where they were unanimously voted first. UConn is unlikely to dip below third place because Creighton is one of the top 15 teams and the game was played on the road.

UConn seeks the Big East title. Upcoming are critical games against tough opponents: Villanova, Seton Hall, Marquette, and Providence. With two or three more wins, the Huskies can lock up first place. However, Houston and Purdue also contend. Good outings this week could vault them higher.
