[HEADING=1][I]Dan Hurley, UConn[/I][/HEADING] [I]What Hurley has done this season at UConn is so magical and special that even a magician may be a smidge envious. UConn was unranked in the preseason and an afterthought among considered contenders in the Big East. They've proven that wrong with a bullet and in a hurry to start the year, though, opening 14-1 and pushing to as high as No. 2 in the rankings before its first loss of the season [URL='https://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/news/no-2-uconn-falls-to-no-22-xavier-for-huskies-first-loss-of-season-leaving-just-two-undefeated-teams/']this past weekend to Xavier[/URL]. Hurley deserves the nod not just because UConn has been a surprise contender - but also because of the way in which it has emerged as one. It brandishes an in-your-face style that can score with any team in the country - it has won 13 of its games by double figures - but also like its fiery coach takes pride in completely disrupting the game with prideful defense. This team has an edge that embodies its coach and has the goods to go from unranked to title winner because of it.
