I was clearly a bad loser at the end of that game," Hurley said. "We were playing the longest possible seasons, having extremely busy offseasons. There are different responsibilities you have as the top program in the sport, responsibility to do everything, promote college basketball, add that up with all the changes with NIL and the portal and what your team looks like the day after your season's over. You don't feel like pretty much anybody is on your team. Even if they're not in the portal, every kid has an agent, and that agent is shopping you around. All those things, the offseasons that were short and packed and the long seasons and incredible dominant success in that tournament, being fatigued, being a sore loser, those things for a couple days put me in that spot. "But in the end, [URL='http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/4685647/jaylin-stewart']Jaylin Stewart[/URL] and [URL='https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/4895737/solo-ball']Solo Ball[/URL] were like -- within a day or two, those guys coming in and saying, 'We're staying, we're not even trying to negotiate, whatever you want to give me, I'm here.'
