Overview
- Broadcast cameras showed Dan Hurley and referee Roger Ayers go forehead to forehead seconds after Braylon Mullins’ winning three on Sunday in the Elite Eight.
- Hurley said Tuesday on The Triple Option podcast he thought Ayers was coming to chest-bump him and that he was still charged up from the shot.
- ESPN analyst Seth Greenberg said Monday that Ayers told him nothing happened and that he did not view the exchange as an issue.
- No technical foul was called, and UConn’s 73-72 result stood to send the Huskies to the Final Four.
- The NCAA named 11 officials for the Final Four on Monday without Ayers, and Hurley’s recent ejection and $25,000 Big East fine helped fuel scrutiny of the clip.
