Overview
- During Saturday’s Final Four in Indianapolis, Andrea Hurley ran back to the hotel in the rain to fix Dan Hurley’s broken bead bracelet and returned with a police escort.
- She said assistant coach Luke Murray called asking where the “holy beads” were, so she watched the opening minutes from the hotel while restringing them.
- The bracelet began as church beads said to be from Jerusalem, and she now replaces many lost pieces with wooden beads from Hobby Lobby.
- Dan Hurley said he expects the bracelet to be ready for Monday’s national championship against Michigan, though he is more worried about a ripped lining in his lucky suit.
- In a separate viral clip from the Elite Eight, Andrea told Tarris Reed Jr. to step off a folding chair because she once fell when a similar chair folded under her.
