UConn men's basketball will play in yet another national title game on Monday after downing Illinois in Indianapolis on Saturday in the 2026 men's Final Four.

After the win, Huskies coach Dan Hurley couldn't help but poke fun at his ref headbutting controversy with Elite Eight hero Braylon Mullins.

After the game, Hurley finished his postgame interview by celebrating with Mullins by giving him a playful heatbutt. The crowd started booing, which Hurley jokingly wondered was because of the heatbutt with Mullins.

We imagine most of those boos came from frustrated Illinois fans, but Hurley is a pretty polarizing guy!


"Are they booing? The headbutt?"
