The next time Dan Hurley gets an unknown call from a 202 number, he\u2019s likely to drop everything and pick it up.<\/p>\n

In the days and weeks that followed UConn\u2019s national championship win over San Diego State<\/a> earlier this month, Hurley actually ignored a phone call from President Joe Biden.<\/p>\n

He was on a call with a recruit when he noticed the call from a Washington D.C. area code come through, and opted to ignore it.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cIt doesn\u2019t come up on your caller ID like Joe Biden,\u201d Hurley told The Athletic<\/a>. \u201cI just assumed when the President calls, it would be someone interrupting your call saying, \u2018The President is on the line.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Honestly, it\u2019s hard to blame him. Very few people jump to answer a call from an unknown number anymore, especially if they\u2019re on the other line when it comes in.<\/p>\n

And, it wasn\u2019t a total loss.<\/p>\n

\u201cI got a voicemail,\u201d Hurley said.<\/p>\n

UConn rolled past San Diego State 76-59 in the national championship game<\/a> earlier this month to claim the program\u2019s fifth title in the last 25 years. The Huskies flew through the NCAA tournament, too, and beat every opponent by double digits on their title run.<\/p>\n

Hurley will get his chance to make up for the missed phone call with the president soon. Biden invited both UConn and the LSU women\u2019s team to the White House to celebrate their respective titles in the near future.\u00a0<\/p>\n
