Danny Hurley’s fifth-seeded Connecticut Huskies had lost to New Mexico State, a No. 12 seed, in a staggering NCAA Tournament first-round upset.
The SEEDS, in so many ways, were planted publicly and painfully 53 weeks ago.
It was there, sitting behind a microphone on a stage inside Buffalo’s KeyBank Center that Danny Hurley laid bare the raw emotions of disappointment. His fifth-seeded Connecticut Huskies had lost to New Mexico State, a No. 12 seed, in a staggering NCAA Tournament first-round upset. It wasn’t even the biggest stunner of the night; at the same time, in Indianapolis, Saint Peter’s was beginning its pixie-dusted run to glory by stunning Kentucky, a No. 15 seed upsetting a No. 2 seed that echoed all across the country.“It’s hard,” he said that night. “It’s hard to sit up here after what this group has done for the program the last couple of years.
“It’s hard to lose as a coach,” he said. “It’s impossible as a coach’s father. But I know Danny. I know he’ll be back swinging. So will his team.”A year and a week later, the team that conquered UConn last year, New Mexico State, is in chaos, its program shut down early and its new coach fired amid a crazy season.
