UCF Coach Johnny Dawkins Comforts Team After Heartbreaking Tournament Loss

Sunday night UCF faced off against Duke, holding a lead until the last seconds of the game when the Blue Devils came out on top 77-76.

It was a heartbreaking loss for the Blue Devils but luckily they have a man like Johnny Dawkins as their coach who provided some words of wisdom and comfort for his team in the locker room.

You can hear players choking up as Dawkins addresses them saying, “We end in tears. That’s because we invested so much in each other.”

“I love you guys,” Dawkins said. “It’s been amazing coaching this group, and for us, we got a lot of good memories, we accomplished a lot of amazing things this year.”

Tom Izzo, take notes!
