UConn men’s basketball coach Dan Hurley is apparently a very superstitious man.
The Huskies return to the Final Four on Saturday night is a first for the men’s basketball team since they claimed their fourth and last national title in 2014, and according to Hurley’s wife, he intends to stick to his routine.

"He always pulls up the game that he had against the opponents to see what he was wearing," wife Andrea Hurley told The New York Post. "If they won that game, he’ll wear the same outfit."
According to his wife, Hurley has been wearing the same fire-breathing dragon underwear since the tournament began earlier this month – and yes, he’s been washing them.
"They’re like Underoos for adults," she told the outlet.

If UConn were to beat fifth-seeded Miami Saturday night, fans can expect Hurley to wear the same navy blue suit he has been sporting since the Huskies opening win over Iona on March 17.
According to the Post, the superstitious Harley has rubbed off on his assistants Kimani Young and Luke Murray who are also apparently making daily trips to the dry cleaners.

UConn is the highest seeded team in the NCAA men’s tournament and is looking to capture its fifth national title in nearly a decade. That also marks the last time the Huskies advanced to the Final Four where they have an 8-1 record.
"The climb to get to this point has been real, and it's been more challenging than I thought," Hurley said after Saturday’s blowout victory over Gonzaga.
