The University of Connecticut men’s basketball coach, Dan Hurley, has been using a unique secret weapon during the NCAA championship – a $40 portable washing machine. Hurley, who is known for his superstitions, wears the same socks and boxer briefs to every game, and his wife, Andrea, helps him keep these lucky items clean between back-to-back games on the road.
The couple has been relying on the East Doll Portable Washing Machine for over a year now for this very purpose. Andrea jokingly refers to the appliance as something only a “lunatic” would need. This small appliance is primarily used for cleaning small or delicate items and has also been spotted on influencers’ Instagram feeds as an on-the-go laundry hack.
While the portable washing machine may be useful for someone like Dan Hurley, who needs to keep his lucky items clean during a hectic basketball season, it is not necessary for most people and may not significantly improve the ease of laundry cleaning overall. Despite its potential usefulness in certain situations, it remains a quirky and unique tool in the Hurley household’s laundry routine.
As the NCAA championship continues, fans will be keeping an eye on Dan Hurley and his lucky socks and boxer briefs, as well as his trusty portable washing machine. Only time will tell if his superstitions and unique laundry methods will lead the University of Connecticut to victory.
