It shouldn't come as an extreme surprise that Jim Boeheim was a touch aggravated during the press conference following Syracuse's 66-58 loss at Connecticut. What isn't clear, however, is why exactly he's so upset with ESPN reporter Andy Katz.

When Katz began the Q&A portion of the press conference with a question about the UConn/Syracuse rivalry ending, Boeheim stopped him abruptly.

"I'll answer anybody's question but yours," Boeheim said to Katz. "Because you're an idiot, and a really disloyal person. I have a few other things I could add, but I'm not gonna."

The New Haven Register has video of the interaction:


There's been no clarification from either party about what prompted the remarks.
