The Memphis Tigers made two technical free throws in the final minute of their overtime victory over UConn Huskies.

The Memphis Tigers won the game by, well, two points in a 99-97 final.

But UConn head coach Dan Hurley doesn't believe his technical foul cost his team the game.

"I think it was the s--ty calls," he said, per Matt Norlander of CBS Sports.

"I would expect to come to play in an event, and I don't know too many back-to-back national championship teams that get that type of a whistle." He also said he believes the technical was issued because he fell to the ground protesting an over-the-back call on an offensive rebound, adding "what I gave the cameras today was Oppenheimer" when discussing how he comes across on camera.

"That was a joke," Hurley said of the technical, per Brendan Marks of The Athletic.

"I mean, I just watched it ...

I had a lot of issues with what went on in the game ...

For that call to be made at that point in the game is a complete joke." He didn't stop there when complaining about the whistle: This article will be updated soon to provide more information and analysis.
