Dan Hurley calls UConn’s fanbase ‘obnoxious as [expletive]’ after win over Illinois

UConn head coach Dan Hurley didn’t mince words when it came to the Huskies fanbase.

After UConn took down Illinois in the Elite Eight to clinch another Final Four berth in March Madness, he was asked about pumping up the crowd late in Saturday’s game. He replied that he wanted to celebrate with fans, which included how “it’s us against the world of college basketball.”

Then, he said this: “Our fanbase, again is as obnoxious as [expletive] on social. So everyone hates us.”

LOL. Well said, coach. Here’s the video of that postgame moment, with a WARNING: NSFW LANGUAGE AHEAD!
