The Big East Tournament at Madison Square Garden is known for its intense moments, and this year was no exception. UConn found themselves in the Big East title game for the first time since 2011, but not without some drama along the way.
During the semifinals against St. John’s, UConn head coach Dan Hurley got heated less than 12 minutes into the game. He was seen urging referees to eject a St. John’s fan sitting courtside who he claimed was “screaming in your face.” Despite his pleas, the fan was not ejected, but St. John’s ultimately lost to UConn 95-90.
Hurley, the son of coaching legend Bob Hurley Sr., was visibly frustrated during the game, but his team’s victory secured them a spot in the conference title game against Marquette. On the other hand, St. John’s may still have a chance at an at-large bid into March Madness.
The Big East Tournament continues to deliver excitement and unexpected moments, keeping fans on the edge of their seats. Stay tuned for more updates on the tournament and follow Fox News for the latest sports coverage.
