FILE - In this Nov. 19, 2016, file photo, Rhode Island coach Dan Hurley reacts during the team's NCAA college basketball game against Cincinnati in Uncasville, Conn. Hurley's last visit to California's capitol city came in 1993, when big brother Bobby--the former Duke star and then-NBA rookie with the Sacramento Kings--fought for his life after a frightening car accident that the entire basketball family knows could have been fatal. Bobby Hurley was lucky. He knows it. His brother knows it. Now, the Hurleys will reconvene in Northern California in far more happy times: Dan Hurley’s Rhode Island team is playing in the NCAA tournament on Friday against Creighton in the Midwest Regional.
