Murray always supported his second-oldest child and cheered on Luke on his previous teams, Xavier and Louisville.

UConn head coach Dan Hurley also acknowledged that he anticipates Luke’s eventual departure to take a head coaching job elsewhere.

UConn won their first national title in 1999 and is tied with North Carolina for the third-most titles in NCAA history. They are also the first team since Florida in 2006-07 to win back-to-back titles.

Additionally, the Huskies set a record for the highest point differential in the NCAA Tournament.

The Huskies won their final seven regular season games before dominating their way to the title in the NCAA Tournament. They dominated Illinois 77-52 in the Elite 8 before taking on Alabama for an 86-72 victory in the Final Four.
