April 5, 2026 UConn Twitter Press Secretary Update For @sdemary and @DemaryShante 💙

She runs Connecticut

Good shit UCLA 👏

@DraftExpress If he played even an ounce of defense he’d be a very productive player

NEWS: Kansas State's Abdi Bashir Jr. will enter the transfer portal, agent Mike George told DraftExpress. The 6'7 junior may be the best shooter in the portal right now, making 44% of his threes on over 8 attempts per game.

He’ll be fine guarantee it’s just precautionary I remember the play it happened didn’t look serious the adrenaline will carry him thru

- Chance to share the Big East reg season title & laid an egg - Chance to win the BE tourney laid an egg & got smacked Hopefully 3rd times the charm & we shock the world again it’d be one of the best runs in CBB history knocking off Kenpom’s 1st, 3rd, 5th, & 10th rated teams

Will be interesting to see what we do defensively on the weak side bc Cadeau stresses every part of the court he has no problem skipping passes to the corner or wing especially off PnRs when the lob isn’t there but we usually help pretty strong off the weak side so 🤷‍♂️

Zooming thru 3 of Michigan’s games our ball screen defense on Cadeau is gonna have to be thru the roof MON night & we’re gonna have to live with him getting some easy looks in the paint bc if you help the lob is always there & if Tarris goes for blocks putback dunks on repeat

Only twice all-time has a team made 10+ threes while having fewer than 5 turnovers in a Final Four game (semis or championship). Both were by @UConnMBB within the last 3 years: 2024 vs. Alabama (10 threes, 4 turnovers) Tonight vs. Illinois (12 threes, 4 turnovers)

UCONN #BleedBlue

@PCofrances13210 Your point? Our assistants do the scouts & put together the gameplans……..

@BleedBlueUConn Assistant coach dumbass

- Going for our 3rd natty in 4 years - Luke Murray drawing up his last gameplan as a UConn coach - Karaban becoming one of the most storied players in CBB history - Tarris Reed facing his old school - Mullins trying to win a natty 30 mins from his HS Maybe it’s destiny 🤷‍♂️

CHARLIE KIRK SPEAKING FROM THE GRAVE AGAIN 👀

@JD_RCJH All week they talked trash & said tonight was their revenge game some of y’all are so soft it’s hilarious

The worst people you know are UConn fans.

@game7__ STAY OFF THE CRACK

Dan Hurley is a gross guy. This video proves why. What an ego. He's inarguably the most overrated coach in all of sports right now. Don't get me wrong - Hurley is a decent enough coach. He recruits well. He uses the portal. He had two historically stacked rosters in 2023 and 2024 and he won with them. Four of his five starters from the 2024 title team were drafted, including Stephon Castle at number four and Donovan Clingan at number seven. When you have that much talent, you're supposed to win. And the one year he didn't have that level of roster? UConn was an 8-seed in 2025 and lost to Florida in the second round. Hurley fought back tears in the postgame interview and later admitted he thought about leaving UConn. Thought about leaving. One year after he turned down $70 million from the Lakers because he loved college coaching so much. But here's the thing that actually makes Hurley hard to watch: the sideline act. This season alone, he was ejected and fined $25,000 by the Big East for aggressively confronting referee John Gaffney during a game at Marquette. He got a formal warning during the tournament for charging onto the court to argue a call. And in the Elite Eight, after UConn's game-winning shot against Duke, he went forehead-to-forehead with referee Roger Ayers in what everyone watching saw as a headbutt. He later said he thought the ref was coming over to "chest-bump" him. That referee will not be working the Final Four. At the Maui Invitational in November 2024, Hurley dropped to his knees after an offensive foul call, drew a technical, and the two extra free throws gave Memphis a four-point lead with 40 seconds left in overtime. UConn lost 99-97. The margin was the technical. Yahoo Sports ran a piece on him this week titled: "When is enough, enough?" Former Michigan coach John Beilein publicly criticized his behavior. And Hurley's response? He says he's not changing. The full breakdown of why Hurley's resume isn't as impressive as you think and why the sideline act is getting worse is here: itsgame7.com/news/dan-hurle… People who know Hurley off the court say he's "endlessly thoughtful, soft-spoken, and charming." Good for him. Most people manage to be the same person in both settings. He's good at his job. Nobody is saying otherwise. But "good at his job" and "generational coaching genius who gets to headbutt referees without consequences" are two very different things. The championship runs had more to do with the players on the floor than the guy screaming on the sideline. And the one year those players weren't there, they were an 8-seed. UConn plays for the title Monday night. Hurley will pace the sideline, scream at officials, and make the whole thing about himself. He'll have earned the title if they win. The behavior? Not so much.

UConn MBB in Final Four As an underdog 1999 vs Duke - W, 77-74 (+9.5) 2011 vs Kentucky - W, 56-55 (+2) 2014 vs Florida - W, 63-53 (+7) 2014 vs Kentucky - W, 60-54 (+2.5) 2026 vs Illinois - W, 71-62 (+1.5)

@WeNeedYouMrWolf @JDSHELBURNE UConn has 7 Final Fours since 2000 2004 2009 2011 2014 2023 2024 2026

Longtime UK fan here. Final Fours and Nattys since 2000 Michigan St 7 - 1 North Carolina 7 - 3 Duke 6 - 3 UConn 5 - 5 ********* Kansas 5 - 2 Florida 4 -3 Kentucky 3 - 1 Final Fours are the STANDARD. Nattys are ice cream on top. We ARE NO LONGER A BLUE BLOOD. UK fans need to get a grip. Can we be again, HECK YES. We have as good of fan support, facilities and history as ANYBODY. But right now ... there are at least 6 teams bluer than us.

UConn wants to be a blue blood so bad but never will be!

@CuseFanin315 He’s playing

@BleedBlueUConn No Yaxel Lendeborg? UConn by at least 8

You can look at it 2 ways Michigan hasn’t been tested even a lil bit in the tournament & the last time they were they lost to imo an inferior team to UConn in the Big Ten final You can also just say they’re a wagon lol

We’ve gotta slow the game down big time which we always do limit the amount of possessions Michigan has & hope that doesn’t allow em to catch a consistent rhythm It’s happened multiple times this year we just gotta execute the gameplan to perfection & hit shots
