Dan Hurley is well aware of the pressure his team, the Connecticut Huskies, is facing entering the NCAA Tournament.
As one of the high-seeded teams, they have a lot to lose, especially given their recent failures in March.
Despite his success in recruiting and producing NBA draft picks, Hurley has yet to lead the team to a successful March run.
However, this year’s team is his best yet, with deep talent and strong offensive and defensive efficiency.
Hurley wants his team to focus on the present moment and not worry about anything else.
He has encouraged them to stay true to their identity as a team, with a top-20 defense and top-10 offense.
He believes they can dominate their opponents and achieve success in the tournament.
Connecticut’s fan base is expecting at least a few victories, and Hurley knows that they have the potential to do some special things this month.
However, he is not letting his players get distracted by the pressure and the high expectations.
The team’s first round matchup against Iona is all that matters right now, and Hurley wants his players to enjoy the moment and be themselves on the court.
