David Borges on Hurley’s Heroes and UConn

As college basketball is once again in full swing, so too is the Daly Dose of Hoops Podcast! And for the first time, host Jaden Daly finally goes in depth on one of the site’s biggest focal points in UConn.

With the Huskies having won back-to-back national championships before chasing a third straight title, the accounts of one of the most dominant runs in college basketball this century are starting to be brought to the forefront. In this episode, Jaden brings on longtime UConn beat writer David Borges to recount these experiences, and more, by discussing David’s new book, Hurley’s Heroes: UConn’s Return to College Basketball’s Elite, available now wherever books are sold.

Jaden and David talk about the conception process and pitch for Hurley’s Heroes, some of the highlights of the book during UConn’s championship seasons, the similarities and differences between Dan Hurley and Jim Calhoun, and a preliminary look at this year’s Husky team, which is a contender to cut down the nets once again for a third championship in four years, and seventh overall.
