“It was calculated,” Hurley said after the Huskies outscored the Wildcats 42-20 in the second half to win 73-56. “I pick up some technical fouls that are not calculated, they’re regrettable. But that was one I wanted. But I’m not sure what type of impact it had, because the free throw discrepancy continued.”

As UConn basketball's Dan Hurley received another technical foul in the Big East tourney win over Villanova, he said it was "calculated."

This led head coach Dan Hurley to declare that he would never again participate in a tournament format like that. UConn finished third in the Big East this year, which surprised many, but Rick Pitino had his team on a mission.
