UConn's Dan Hurley criticizes Duke, North Carolina's silence

UConn men's basketball coach Dan Hurley is not afraid to speak his mind. Recently, he expressed frustration that Duke and North Carolina have not responded to his requests for matchups between their teams. Hurley mentioned this during a press conference before a game in Raleigh, North Carolina. Hurley has led UConn to two national championships and is excited about their current performance in the NCAA Tournament. He believes that college basketball fans would love to see UConn play against these storied programs. Hurley emphasized that "it takes two to tango," suggesting that both sides need to agree. Despite UConn's efforts to schedule games, it seems Duke and North Carolina are not keen on facing them. This has disappointed many fans, as such games would surely create excitement and draw attention. Hurley's comments highlight the difficulties teams can face in arranging non-conference matchups, even when there is public interest.
