Dan Hurley and the UConn Huskies will be playing for a spot in the Final Four on Sunday evening.
UConn, the No. 2 seed in the East Region, will be facing No. 1 seed Duke in the East Regional Final on Sunday evening. Tipoff is set for shortly after 5 p.m. E.T. on CBS. It should be a good one.
Duke, the No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament, has been the best team in the country for most of the season. But UConn, which has won two national championships under Hurley, is playing great basketball. It should be a fun game in Washington, D.C. on Sunday evening.
Hurley's wife, Andrea, will be there watching. The married couple has been together since 1997. Dan and Andrea met as students at Seton Hall and have been married for close to 30 eyars.
While Andrea Hurley doesn't love college basketball, she admits that she really loves one aspect of the game.

Dan Hurley's wife "loves" getting play the mom away from home role for the young players on UConn's roster.
“The players are honestly my favorite part," Andrea said. "They’re other people’s kids, and they are away from home, so they need to know that someone is there for them."
Andrea Hurley will do everything she can to make the players feel at home - even baking them cupcakes on their birthday.
She also used to host a podcast with Nicole Kellogg, the wife of Creighton assistant Derek Kellogg, called Ball is Wife. She is constantly going viral for her supportive behavior at the NCAA Tournament.
UConn vs. Duke is set to tip off at 5:15 p.m. E.T.
