The day that the Associated Press revealed its preseason Top 25, UConn men’s basketball coach Dan Hurley described his team’s No. 3 ranking as a show of disrespect. Hurley argued that the two-time reigning national champion Huskies earned the right to start the new season No.

Connecticut struggled with three losses in the Maui Invitational. They lead the men's college basketball winners and losers from the holiday weekend.

Dan Hurley is the best coach in college basketball. He's an unassailable evaluator of talent who, after back-to-back championships, has UConn at the the top of the sport for two years running. And he's a completely unhinged sideline presence that needs to be reined in.
