56. UConn Huskies

"Second-year coach Dan Hurley, noted program-builder, has the Huskies on a five-game winning streak entering the AAC tournament. Senior Christian Vital, the team's top scorer, also leads the conference in steals and free throw percentage. Freshman James Bouknight (13.0 PPG) has shown flashes of brilliance for UConn, which lost eight games by six points or fewer -- including four in overtime. Despite losing two starters to injury, the Huskies are starting to break through at the right time."

Memphis was by 7. So truly 3 bad losses, St. Joes, @ Cincy by double digits, @ USF by double digits. Most of the 5,6,7 point games were 1 possesion until fouling, it came down to 1 or 2 possesions where they would be the ones at the line and not us.
