There will be no homecoming for Dan Hurley tonight in Newark, N.J.

Hurley, the UConn men’s basketball head coach, and associate head coach Kimani Young have each tested positive for the Covid virus and will not coach Wednesday night’s game against Seton Hall at the Prudential Center. This follows the absence of assistant coach Tom Moore at last week’s game against Marquette for the same reason.

UConn assistant coaches Moore and Luke Murray will assume the head coaching duties during the game, assisted by director of player development Mamadou Diarra and video and scouting coordinator Mathew Johnson.

Neither Coach Hurley nor Coach Young made the trip to New Jersey with the team on Tuesday. They are expected to return to team activities following the customary isolation period and absence of symptoms.

This will be the first time Hurley has missed a game since taking over the reins at UConn in 2018.
