UConn's victory over Oklahoma marked their 13th consecutive win in the NCAA tournament, tying the record set by the Duke Blue Devils from 1991-93. Coach Dan Hurley emphasized the challenges faced this season, including close losses that have made the journey more dramatic. Despite the pressure, UConn displayed impressive resilience during the game, particularly when Alex Karaban scored a pivotal three-pointer to help secure the win. Hurley noted that the team's struggles made them tougher, showcasing their capacity for critical execution under stress as they aim for further success in the tournament.
"If it wasn't for all of my antics and viral moments, there would be more focus on just what we've accomplished as a program the last three years."
"Whenever we've been able to start playing good basketball and getting separation, we've tended to shoot ourselves in the foot, but the thing about this team is we're really battle tested."
