That’s been pretty normal for the Huskies head coach, however, and it’s been a recurring trend throughout the NCAA tournament.
Hurley went head-to-head with a referee without penalty at the tail end of their wild win over Duke in the Elite Eight, and he was booed hard by Illinois fans after their win over the Illini in the semifinals on Saturday.
