US EditionHurley Ejected in Final Second of Marquette’s 68-62 Win over No. 4 UConn
- On March 7, 2026, UConn coach Danny Hurley was ejected in the final second after two technical fouls, as Marquette secured a 68-62 victory and denied the Huskies a share of the Big East title.
- Silas Demary Jr.'s drive hit the glass and rim, prompting a scramble for the ball, and Chase Ross was fouled with one second remaining, leading Hurley to protest a non-call.
- UConn's offense struggled from deep, shooting 3-for-24, while Nigel James Jr. led Marquette with 19 points and Royce Parham scored eight straight during an 11-0 run.
- After Hurley exited for the locker room, Marquette sealed the win when Chase Ross made four of six free throws, and video replays showed Hurley making contact with an official, likely resulting in a fine.
- Next week UConn will begin the Big East tournament with a first-round bye, while both teams await their opponents for the March 12 games at Madison Square Garden.
