College basketball fans entered Monday’s national title game anticipating a heavyweight matchup between Purdue’s Zach Edey and UConn’s Donovan Clingan. Huskies head coach Dan Hurley got in the mix as well.
Hurley and Purdue center Edey were seen exchanging words during Monday’s national title game held at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Ariz.
Edey had delivered a bone-crushing screen on UConn freshman Stephon Castle midway through the first half. Hurley seemed to believe that Edey had gotten away with an offensive foul on the play.
During the next dead ball, Hurley walked onto the court and complained to the referee about the no-call on Edey. The Purdue star appeared to have some words for Hurley, who chirped right back at the 7’4″ center.
